Mumia Abu-Jamal -- What Worker's Think?

In the decade since NAFTA, the nation's service economy employs the largest percentage of workers, with unions like SEIU (Service Employees Industrial Union) having the biggest memberships. Many are paid frightfully low wages, but it would be even worse were it not for bargaining units like SEIU. For millions of young, working class kids, service jobs are the only viable ones available, if at all. And service jobs virtually always provide lower wages than manufacturing jobs.

As the presidential campaigns roll around again, listen to what the guys and gals, of either of the major corporate parties have to say about NAFTA, FTAA, or CAFTA. Chances are, most of them won't have squat to say, or will even support it. That's because, for most politicians, greasing the palms of corporations is the easiest way to raise campaign coffers, and most would rather shoot off a toe than piss off a potential corporate donor.

@BryanEKS89 I said 'I thought Mumia and the cop were shot' (I should have said officer), not 'Mumia and the officer shot each other'. I presume you simply misunderstood me, but thank you for replying.

As far as I know, Mumia was shot and the cop was shot. I assume they were both intended to die by their intended assassins gunshots, as it would have been easier to 'sweep them both under the rug'. Mumia owned a .38, the officer died from a .44, so Mumia's gun was not the murder weapon.

@57worldwide

Actually that's incorrect, Mumia never shot his gun. He didn't have any powder residue on him, and police officials said they "lost" the bullet and gun that were used to kill the cop.

Turns out Mumia was right, and very prophetic. Excellent video.

I thought Mumia and the cop were shot, but Mumia had a .38 and the policeman died from a .44, meaning Mumia let off a shot at a shadow (he thought was attacking him) and missed.
