An autopsy of Terán’s body found it riddled with 57 bullet holes, including through the palms of the activist’s outstretched hands. The police were quick to claim self-defense—though video footage suggested that the minor injuries sustained by their officer were a result of friendly fire. The state autopsy found no gunpowder residue on Terán's clothes or near their wounds, which would have supported the cops’ assertion that Terán had shot a firearm. None of the officers who killed the activist was wearing a body camera. A month later, police arrested dozens of Terán’s remaining comrades for spurious “property damage,” citing the dirt in their boots as evidence of criminal behavior, and casting them into a legal purgatory pending RICO and domestic terrorism charges (dismissed by a judge, then appealed by the state), which—for those convicted—are themselves a kind of living death.

Weather Underground might like to be included in the direct action category.

Sure but they have left no credible coherent impact on leftism in the US except to underline that radical ideological violence is the least effective way to fight for what you believe in.

Judi Bari car bombed herself, and was thus a terrorist bomber. Prove me wrong.
