    The Spin

    Right narrative

    Boudin was a terrorist and that will be her legacy. Though later in life she devoted herself to respectable causes, her actions led to the deaths of 3 innocent people simply doing their jobs, and she shouldn't be remembered as a hero.

    Left narrative

    Though Boudin was involved in an incident that led to the deaths of 3 people, she herself didn't pull the trigger, nor was she unrepentant. She dedicated her life to lifting others up and trying to help those crushed by systematic state violence. She should be remembered for her good deeds.
