Mumia Abu-Jamal -- The War Against Us All

This isn't just a war on Iraqis or Afghanis or even Arabs or Muslims. It is ultimately a war on us all. That's because the billions and billions of dollars that are being spent on this war—the cost of tanks, rocketry, bullets, and yes, even salaries for the 125,000-plus troops—is money that will never be spent on education, on health care, on the reconstruction of crumbling public housing, or to train and place the millions of workers who have lost manufacturing jobs in the past three years alone.

You are a true pawn, America spreading democracy across the world is a way of opening business opportunities and giving American corporations more free room to suck the resources out of 3rd world countries, while citizens native to the US are so indoctrinated they are oblivious to the oppression and human exploitation in the occupied area

Mumia is NOT a saint, but he still has more morality and integrity than any Philadelphia pig coward has ever had. Mumia has never robbed, framed, tortured, killed or otherwise criminally victimized any innocent person, unlike all Philly pigs. If pigs would just do their jobs as per the law, and not feloniously trash anyone's Constitutional rights, there would not be such hostility and rage towards them. When a pig commits a crime, his victim will retaliate, possibly against innocent citizens.

Mumia should have been freed after just five years, which he would have been had he murdered a civilian under identical circumstances. This was a classic third-degree murder case. The fact that pigs' lives are given more value by lawmakers screams volumes about the contempt which legislators have for anyone who is not politically favored. Philadelphia pigs' lives are worth less than anyone else's because pigs are criminal trash, so killing one should result in a lighter, not harsher, sentence.

"To train and replace millions of workers who have lost...jobs..."

-Sounds good to me. It would be nice to see government spend money that goes directly to aiding those hardest hit by the recession.

If only people recognized a prophet when they hear one....

@mastablack47 you couldn't have said it any better man. I really don't understand how the majority of the public still dismiss most of this as a "conspiracy theory" its really sad and once people wake up there will be revolution
