They also had various printouts about making booby-traps, alongside the terrorist printout which looks a little like an abbreviation of the Anarchists Cookbook.
It may strike many as peculiar that the woman, Morgan Gliedman, a 27-year who attended The Dalton School and who received an MFA in creative writing at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the man, Aaron Greene, 31, who The Post Reports “attended Harvard as an undergraduate and did his graduate work at the university’s Kennedy School of Government,” should have come to this.
“I’m not that surprised,” a neighbor said. “Every time this happens they interview the dumb neighbors and they always say, ‘Oh, I would have never thought they could do this!’ But everyone who lives in the village will tell you about the bomb explosion [an accidental explosion at the Weathermen’s bomb factory in 1970]. It’s crazy that this happened, but anything can happen. Nothing surprises me anymore.”
Jaded words, perhaps, but characteristic of many nowadays. It was a peculiar twist, nevertheless, when Morgan went into labor shortly after her arrest.
