The Weathermen Underground
If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. It really contextualizes a lot of who they were and what they did.

Also, why does every single presidential campaign in this country always bicker about Vietnam era politics?

1. They also didn't kill anyone purposefully if I recall correctly.
I believe the three deaths that they "caused" was due to a bomb that detonated in their hidey-hole in NYC.

4. If you have Netflix, you can stream it on your computer, free.
I encourage everyone who wants to know more about Weather Underground to do so. Lots of interviews with the members of the organization.

5. Because VietNam is the defining aspect of Boomers' lives, period. 58,000 dead.

6. if i recall, its been a while, some Asian people got hurt, too
