Trinity Washington U. Holding Campus-Wide ‘Remembrance’ Event for Cop-Killer Assata Shakur
“the domestic terrorist who murdered a New Jersey state trooper and later escaped federal prison”
Why are so many people on the left so determined to celebrate this woman? She was not a good person.

Trinity Washington University Hosting All-Day Event Honoring Cop Killer Assata Shakur
Trinity Washington University will hold a campus-wide “remembrance” event Tuesday for Assata Shakur, the domestic terrorist who murdered a New Jersey state trooper and later escaped federal prison.
The private school in Washington, D.C., with around 1,900 students, is hosting a “full-day” celebration of the “life, work, and enduring legacy of Assata Shakur.” Faculty members and students will conduct a “community reading” of Shakur’s autobiography, a “critical discussion” of her life, and a “space for collective reflection and cultural appreciation.” The school is Nancy Pelosi’s alma mater, and she recently donated $1.5 million in Apple stock to establish a political center in her name.
It’s the first university-sanctioned event in the country commemorating the life of Shakur, who died on Sept. 25 in Cuba, where she had been living in exile since 1984. Shakur was convicted in 1977 alongside other Black Liberation Army members for the execution-style murder of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster during a traffic stop in 1973.
Shakur, who committed a series of bank robberies and allegedly injured two New York City cops in a hand grenade attack in 1971, has become a darling of the left, which hails her as a political prisoner and revolutionary. Democratic Reps. Yvette Clarke (N.Y.), Summer Lee (Pa.), and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) honored Shakur after her death, as did the NAACP and Democratic Socialists of America, the party of Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.).
Pelosi has not weighed in on Shakur’s death or her House colleagues’ support for the cop killer. She did not respond to requests for comment about Trinity Washington’s event this week.
Pelosi, the school’s most famous alumna, has maintained close personal and financial ties to the school since graduating from the formerly all-girls Catholic school in 1962.

Comments
Should hold a ceremonial pissing on her grave event.
It’s in Cuba, Probably local strays have beat you to it.
This is outsourcing of the type I can get behind,
Put an outhouse over Asshata’s memorial. No honors for a convicted murderer and terrorist.
