Dohrn has said of her Weatherman past, "We rejected terrorism. We were careful not to hurt anybody." Both statements are 100% false. Weatherman's twofold agenda was terrorism (which is why [[Charles Manson]] was Dohrn's hero) and war (the organization's very existence was launched with a formal "declaration of war"), and Dohrn periodically issued "war communiqués" to the public at large. The intention of the group was to shed their "white skin privilege" and launch a violent race war on behalf of Third World People. A [[Chicago]] district attorney named Richard Elrod was seriously injured in the Weatherman riot that erupted during the Chicago "Days of Rage" in October 1969, and he was paralyzed for life as a result. Dohrn later led a celebration of Elrod's paralysis by leading her comrades in a parody of a [[Bob Dylan]] song -- "Lay, Elrod, Lay." Law-enforcement is still investigating a bombing in [[San Francisco]] that killed a policeman, for which Dohrn is one of the suspects. <ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE6D7123BF93BA25752C1A965958260 NY Times:"AT HOME WITH: Bernadine Dohrn"]</ref>

Dohrn spent most of the 1970s with her accomplices running from the [[FBI]], who placed her on its "Ten Most Wanted List." During the final years of their underground life, Dohrn and her husband [[Bill Ayers]] resided in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood where they used the aliases Christine Louise Douglas and Anthony J. Lee. In 1980 Dohrn and her fellow terrorists surrendered, but all charges against them were dropped on the grounds that the fugitives had been under an illegal surveillance. Dohrn eventually plead guilty to charges of aggravated battery and bail-jumping, paid a fine of $1,500 and only received probation. <ref>[http://www.nndb.com/people/343/000132944/ NNDB, Bernardine Rae Dohrn] </ref> Dohrn and her domestic terrorist husband, [[William Ayers]] are both close political and personal confidantes of President-elect [[Barack Obama]]

Shortly after turning themselves in, Dohrn and Ayers adopted Chesa Boudin, son of former Weather Underground members Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, when the parents were arrested for their activities with the Black Liberation Army, and are in jail for their roles in a 1981 Brink's robbery, ''in which a Brink's guard and two police officers were killed''. <ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE6D7123BF93BA25752C1A965958260 NY Times:"AT HOME WITH: Bernadine Dohrn"]</ref>
