Tupac's Aunt To Be Extradited Back To Us by Nobody: 8:34pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Even the act of naming her reveals the depth of the schism. Law enforcement calls her JoAnne Chesimard. Her supporters know her by her chosen name, Assata Shakur. If the name rings a bell to the apolitical, it is likely because she is the godmother and aunt of slain rap star Tupac Shakur. Thirty years ago, Shakur fled to Cuba, where she was granted political asylum by Fidel Castro. There she has remained. U.S. law enforcement has repeatedly sought her extradition, and the FBI has placed her on its Top Ten Most Wanted Terrorists list. Information directly leading to her apprehension carries a $2 million reward. The question now: What becomes now of Shakur? To law enforcement, Shakur is the killer convicted in the execution-style slaying of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. She is the Black Liberation Army leader busted out of prison by her comrades two years into a life sentence, a domestic terrorist implicated in a string of crimes and a key part of organization that waged war on police. To her supporters, Shakur has been persecuted by the same corrupt and racist justice system that they say persecuted Michael Brown and Eric Garner. During the protests in Ferguson, Mo., her name became a rallying cry. She has long been a revolutionary symbol, a radical black female often described as “the ultimate fugitive from injustice.” Shakur was a member of the Black Panther Party before joining the Black Liberation Army, a militant nationalist group. In 1973, Shakur, and two BLA members were stopped by two state troopers on the New Jersey Turnpike for a faulty taillight. The FBI says Shakur and one of her associates opened fire, and a gun battle ensued. Foerster and one of the BLA members were killed. The other trooper and Shakur were wounded. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2014/12/20/cuba-still-harbors-one-of-americas-most-wanted-fugitives-what-happens-to-assata-shakur-now/?tid=sm_fb |
