'''David Joseph Gilbert''' (born October 6, 1944 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) was a high-level [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS) and [[Weather Underground Organization]] (WUO) operative now serving an extended prison sentence in [[New York]] state for his role in the 1981 robbery of an armored truck in which two police officers and a Brinks guard were killed. Gilbert was a member of the Maoist Ayers/Dohrn Action Faction which expelled [[Communist Party USA]] (CPUSA) members from SDS leadership. Without Moscow and CPUSA backing, WUO operatives turned to bank robbery and armored truck heists to fund revolutionary activity in the [[United States]]
