Is Mumia Abu-Jamal being made an example of?

A recent decision by the United States supreme court sent Mumia Abu-Jamals case back down to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, where a three-judge panel will then reconsider its decision to uphold the lifting of the prominent African-American journalists death penalty. This is only the latest in a long string of examples of how courts at all levels have made special exceptions to precedent in order to try and kill this particular prisoner.

THE SLAIN COP, NOT MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, WAS A FELON. OFFICER DANIEL FAULKNER WAS A RACIST THUG WHO WAS THE RECIPIENT OF SEVERAL RACE-RELATED INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINTS, ALL OF WHICH WERE "WHITE" WASHED. HAD THE PHILLY PD DONE ITS JOB BY FIRING FAULKNER FOR HIS RACIST MISCONDUCT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FATALLY SHOT BY AN UNKNOWN HERO FOR HIS RACIALLY-MOTIVATED ASSAULT OF JAMAL'S BROTHER. ALSO, MANY JAMAL SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING ME, ARE WHITE CONSERVATIVES. BURN IN HELL, RACIST PIG! FREE MUMIA THE HERO

It's true that Afro-Americans in this country are persecuted. But, that doesn't mean that we can't be wise to this fact. We can't be caught caring guns or weapons without the support of a total revolution. We can't walk into a normal traffic stop with a gun. You can't have witnesses saying that they saw you pull it. We need to protect our police, and hope they protect us. It is sad that our equality fighters don't act rationally to either start a revolution or legally work within the system.

considering he was supposed to be put to death i'd say mumia has gotten off easy.

@TheSr1m Wow, what a wonderful command of the English language you have. But then that's typical of Mumidiots everywhere.

[zeke1672]

@TeenageXXXBonehead Well, you certainly live up to your screen name. I've been to all the stupid Free Mumia websites and they are all clearly biased. In fact, all they do is repeat thoroughly refuted myths and outright lies. The faulkner site takes you through an in depth and rational view of the case. All you have to do is read the court transcripts to know that Mumia is guilty. If you've done that and you still think he's innocent then you are a moron. Have a happy brain dead life genius.

@sfreely You're a moron. Philly is a city full of ghetto trash thugs that needs aggressive cops in order to keep the peace. People like you long for a world where you can do anything you want without being held accountable. If you don't like law and order move to some jig infested third world shit hole. Daniel Faulkner is the only victim here. Mumia is right where he belongs. It's just a matter of time before they put him down like the animal that he is.

He'll be at Rittenhouse Square on the Wednesday after Election Night next year:It'll take Holder 24 hours to set up the pardon.

Yes it is always better not to question the cops. If 17 cops storm your house at 3 in the morning, dont question whether or not you are about to die.
