New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wants to ban flights from New Jersey to Cuba until Assata Shakur (formerly known as Joanne Chesimard), who was convicted in 1977 for the murder of a New Jersey state trooper and fled to Cuba in 1984, is returned to the United States.

"It is unacceptable to me as governor to have any flights between New Jersey and Cuba until and unless convicted cop killer and escaped fugitive Joanne Chesimard is returned to New Jersey to face justice," Christie wrote in a letter to Port Authority of New York & New Jersey chief John Degnan and viewed by the New York Post....

Christie is demanding that the Port Authority not allow direct flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to Havana until Shakur is returned. "I will not tolerate rewarding the Cuban government for continuing to harbor a fugitive," Christie wrote, according to the Post.

Assata Shakur was tried and convicted in 1979, and although the state was unable to prove that she ever fired a gun, she was sentenced to 26 to 33 years in state prison. Later that same year, three members of the BLA were visiting Shakur when they reportedly took two guards hostage, stole a prison van and broke Shakur out.

That'll make him wildly popular in Hudson County, which has a huge Cuban population. What does he want them to do? Take the bridge?
