In 1968, Ayers became leader of the Students for a Democratic Society, and then a prominent leader of the violent "Weatherman group." Ayers and the organization had bombed buildings such as the [[United States]] Capitol, The Pentagon, the United States Department of State.  The aim of these acts was never to kill or injure human beings but rather to intimidate the government and sway popular opinion-- the organization always announced its targets beforehand and allowed time for evacuation.  The only instance of a fatal Weatherman explosion was in Greenwich Village in New York City, when an accidental explosion killed three members of the Weather Underground organization.   In 1969, Ayers planted a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. The statue was blown into pieces, but was later rebuilt in 1970. However, it was then blown up again by Ayers, five months later.  

In a 2001 interview with the [[New York Times]], Ayers would later say, ""I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough."
