As President Donald Trump and his administration take on the latest wave of left-wing violence, an obituary reminds us what happens when political killers get away with their crimes.  The law never caught up with Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur.  She died Thursday, age 78, an honored guest of Cuba’s Communist regime — and honored, disgracefully, by tenured radicals in America’s universities, too. Professors have placed this convicted murderer on lists of “African-American heroes” and present her as a model for activism.  Stanford University’s dean of students, Mona Hicks, quoted a “loving refrain from Assata Shakur” in a campus email…

Two weeks ago, Russell Wilson completed 30 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns and the Giants lost. Different week, different opponent, different quarterback, different outcome.  And a very different offensive…
