Via Kyle Smith at National Review, I've learned that the Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 11 in New York City will be honoring unrepentant terrorist leader Oscar López Rivera, and that Coca-Cola is one of the sponsors of this parade.
López Rivera, a leader of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN, will be the parade's first-ever "National Freedom Hero."
Joseph Connor, whose father was killed Jan. 24, 1975 by FALN, denounced the move in the New York Post as "truly sickening." FALN took credit for the bombing, describing it as a blow against "reactionary corporate executives." "In fact," Connor says, "my dad was born to immigrants and raised in working-class Washington Heights, very near where several of the FALN members were from."
