You go girl! We welcome this great community organizer back with open arms! Community theatre has the power to transform a society and make us a little less homophobic, anti-woman, and anti-poor. What's with this love affair with the cops all of a sudden? Maybe they should have chosen a different profession if they don't want the occassional terrorist actions against them. Can you really blame this woman for her actions when we all know that cops are generally anti-woman .
Yes, kicking a pregnant woman and killing someone and killing one making a bank deposit is so pro woman!

You're a complete tool.

I don't agree with her choices but that doesn't mean we get to condemn her for the rest of her life.
She served her time, it shouldn't feel like she is still in prison when she comes home.
Dani, so in your way of thinking as long as a convicted killer has lived "under the radar" that is ok. It is just the killers that don't live "under the radar" should be judge differently?

She may have served her time, but she also ran from in for over 20 years! She took a mother away from her family and tried to kill people that protect us from crap like her, she needs to stay where she did her crime and finish her punishment.

Phhhu-cking murdering b-e-o-t-c-h- needs to rot in hell...

Almost a year later, Olson took part in two bank robberies to help fund the SLA, according to court documents. During the Carmichael robbery, Olson "entered the bank with a firearm and kicked a nonresisting pregnant teller in the stomach. The teller miscarried after the robbery," the documents said.

In August 1975, Los Angeles police found homemade bombs under two squad cars. They were designed to explode when the car moved, but neither device detonated.

Authorities cast the attempted bombings as payback for the bloody shootout that left Atwood and other SLA members dead.

A probe into the gunbattle helped police arrest Hearst, the granddaughter of publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst, who claimed she had been kidnapped, raped and brainwashed by the SLA.

In her book "Every Secret Thing," Hearst put Olson at the center of the Carmichael robbery.

Actually, Baroke Obummer, it's you that's a complete tool, by all appearances, since you don't seem to be able to recognize sarcasm when you see it. Even though you then go on to MAKE THE SAME SARCASTIC POINT that Mrs R had made in the first place.
No one needs to approve of or even forgive Ms. Olson to recognize that we have an existing legal system in place that ordinarily lets parolees serve out their parole time in the states where their families are, and it works in both directions -- parolees leave Minnesota too. I get it a lot of you want to punish her more but that's simply not part of the existing system for deciding where parolees get to live.
It's not ethical, or legal, to set someone up to fail their parole -- even if you want to punish them more. Recidivism costs society in every way, from the violations that are committed to the costs of prosecution and return to incarceration, to the disruptions of the lives of everyone involved.

The sole purpose of prison is to punish and re-abilitate the person convicted of a crime. This lady had re-abilitated herself prior to being convicted, DUH! 30 plus years of bering a positive part of society!

Kathleen Soliah aka Sara Jane Olson was convicted for plotting to place bombs under police cars and partaking in the deadly bank robbery.

Anyone who thinks Patricia Hearst was an innocent victim in the whole ordeal needs to get their heads examined. Its so flippin' easy to say she was brainwashed! WHATEVER!! She was carrying a weapon. She used vulgar language, she banished someone with her weapon.

I certainly don't hear or read anyone crying foul over that.

Arnold had nothing to do with Kathleen Soliah aka Sara Jane Olson coming to Minnesota to serve her parole. That's been a practice in place for 50 years.
Funny how its ok for Minnesota to send away inmates to serve their parole in other states but whines when they have to take this one. Talk about hyprocrites!

More energy wasted on some 60 year old woman than on solving the economy issues! How PATHETIC!!

I am starting to think that the St.Paul police are putting to much in to this. They have bigger issues to deal with. She served her time, let it rest!

Olson "entered the bank with a firearm and kicked a nonresisting pregnant teller in the stomach. The teller miscarried after the robbery,"

She deserves another murder charge.
She deserves to burn in he11, as do her defendants.

If you have read any of her other posts, then you would know that she wasn't being sarcastic. That is how that tool actually feels.

How LUCKY we are to have this seasoned political activist among us all over again. Goody gumdrop (and I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn). Highland Park, I suppose you can expect a lecture on Palestinian conflict and the horrors perpetrated upon Gaza by Israel as Sara (dybbuk) tries to find a subject less important to mainstream America? Mazel tov to you who soon will be among her.

I think this woman has done her time and should be allowed to move on with her life. She obviously changed her ways, flying under the radar for nearly 25 years. She was an active, productive member of her community, all while being a fugitive from justice. I wonder what she'll accomplish now that she doesn't have to look over her shoulder.

If this baby killer was my mother I would leave town before she got home. She has never been truly sorry for what she did. I'll bet that if someone kicked her grandchild out of this world she sould say "oh honey just hide out for thirty years and lie about who you are. Then if you are ever caught lie again and again and again." Not likely. This POS would want the person locked up for life as she should have been.

You had me at 'community organizer'. ;)

Since the pp is up to two articles a day about her, I beg of them, if they have even a shred of human decency, to get her a makeover so we don't have to suffer each time her picture is on the front page....

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Scorpio

Today's Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon stirs up powerful emotions during the next two weeks (as it has done since the Gemini Solar Eclipse last month), and it may not be a very pleasant experience. Are you feeling rather compulsive and obsessive? Financial issues could be a problem,, especially if they appear to threaten your sense of emotional security. Don't let jealousy or envy make you do things that will set other people against you.
