Maybe I should get out my autographed copy of his widow’s book (found it by chance at used book store).

The black lives matter’s folks have been hanging posters in Seattle with “Free Mumia” & “Free Leonard Peltier” along with posters showing lix of criminals killed by poloce and demanding “Justice”.

One such dead criminal is on video pulling a gun on a cop on train platform and the cop wins the gun battle....somehow the gangster needs “justice”.....I think he already received justice.

I remember the night Daniel Faulkner was killed and the circumstances. There were four witnesses, all of which have never changed their story. Irv Homer who had a radio talk show took up the banner for Wesley Cook (Mumia Abu Jamal). He kept saying that Cook’s brother would come in to testify, and that the witnesses had changed their story. That finished Irv Homer, since his brother never showed and all the witnesses held to their stories. I walk past the bronze plate in the sidewalk from time to time and remember Daniel Faulkner. I pause a few seconds in a salute to a man who did his job well.

Mumia now lives in an upstate prison, having managed to have his death sentence commuted. He is suffering from severe Diabetes, type 2. At least he is contained and cannot get out to endanger someone else. It’s a shame that Daniel Faulkner had to give his life to corral some pig like Wesley Cook, but he will never be free. He will die as an old man in prison, never having seen freedom again.

Thanks for the ping.

Heard his widow on WWDB radio back in the day a few years after if happened. Very impressed by her tenacity, and very sad for the loss of her husband. I believe she was pregnant at the time of her husbands murder?

If that is true its a double tragedy. RIP.
