Members of the Weather Undergound took part in a Brink's robbery in '81. Waverly Brown, Edward O'Grady, and Peter Paige were murdered. The perpetrators were Kathy Boudin, Judith Clark and David Gilbert - all members of the Weathermen - along with members of the Black Liberation Army. These people were arrested fleeing the scene.
So yes, they did murder people. They would have murdered more -like the soldiers at the a dance a Fort Dix - had they not been so incompetent.
To allow Ayers to portray himself as a victim and not ask him about this and other episodes when he and his wife were recognized as primary leaders of the group is journalistic malpractice.
