Parole Commission denies convicted terrorist permission to travel out of Maine
The United States Parole Commission has denied convicted serial bomber and domestic terrorist Raymond Levasseur permission to travel to Massachusetts to make an appearance at a controversial and ill-planned event at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Levasseur served 18 years, less than half of a 45 year sentence for his role as leader of the United Freedom Front, a domestic terrorist gang that was responsible for blowing up over 20 buildings, conducting armed bank robberies to fund their violent agenda, attempting to murder two Massachusetts State Troopers and the brutal slaying of New Jersey Trooper Phil Lamonaco. He is currently living in a federal halfway house in Maine.
His appearance having been canceled once already, the anarchist’s event was resurrected – according to WHDH, Levasseur was quietly “re-invited by a faculty group spearheaded by UMass Professor Sara Lennox”, whose 2008 salary was over $118,000.
Although it once again appears that Levasseur will not be in attendance at the UMass event, his wife and lawyers are expected to participate and speak on his behalf and the event has not been canceled. Numerous police organizations and the widow of Trooper Lamonaco still plan to protest the reprehensible glorification of this unrepentant, violent criminal, and call on the public, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and the administration of UMass to join them at UMass on Thursday evening to express their condemnation of Levasseur and his terrorist agenda.
