¢. C. White Panther Party (WPP) b 7 s
a Ep rp Taazam that the subject
spoke at the WPP headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, at ap-
proximately twelve o'clock noon, on July 24, 1970. The
occasion was a press conference by the WPP regarding the
recent arrest of LAWRENCE ROBERT "PuN‘ PLAMONDON. The
subject gave the following statement at this conference:
. "] flew in from New Yorx courtesy of American
Airlines and the two FBI pigs sitting in the seat in
back. I came up,because the Youth International Party
wants to voice its support for the white Panther Party, its
program and what it’s doing and in particular for Pun and
all the other fugitives from what is called justice in
America. Kind of justice that puts John Sinclair away for
ten years for smoking two joints and trying to electrocute
Bobby Seale because he's one of the leaders of the Black
Liberation Movement. Fugitive from justice is a misconception,
and young people all around this country you see have got
to recognize that the protest movement that was begun as a
dissent movement about five or six years ago has gone through
a mumber of phases. Resistance, insurrection and now finally
revolution. There are over 3,900 people living in an
underground ir. America, and fighting against its racism,
imperialism and the harrassment of our new culture and
ration. Attorn, what's his name, Wil Wilson, Chief of the
Criminal Division, last night admitted that there are }390
Weathermen alone living in the underground. Most of these .
people are living free and carrying on their activities and
their fight. Pun, as Genie (Plamondon) said, it was unfortunate.
He got caught, he has no right to be snatched out of the
streets in the new land of our nation. He blew up a CIA
building, what, I mean whether he is innocent or guilty,
we don't know. But I'll tell you one thing, you've seen
one of those (obscene) buildings you've seen them all.
Those buildings are harboring death and destruction in
Vietnam to unprecedented degree in human history and anything
to remove that death and destruction is an act of love and
ae we say ride on to anybody. We are a nation dedicated to
