Handful Of People Attend Rally To Support Suspect Accused Of Shooting 6 Philadelphia Police Officers
CBS Philly ^ | 08/17/2019 | staff

Only a handful of people showed up for a controversial rally on Friday night in North Philadelphia to support Maurice Hill, the alleged gunman accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers. Organizers were expecting 200 to 300 people at the rally.

Earlier in the day, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said police would have to be there.

“Sadly, we do have to be there, I don’t understand it. There’s certain marches I do understand, this is definitely not one of them,” Ross said.

Hill is still in jail right now while he waits to be arraigned.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Thursday Hill will most likely face charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, among others.

There will be a lot of charges. These are more than enough charges so that Mr. Maurice Hill may never exit jail,” Krasner said.

All six police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were released from the hospital Wednesday night.

A few years from now all will be forgotten and I am sure Hill will have much more support. If I was his attorney I would advise him to convert to Islam and start bad mouthing Trump.

Maybe the 200 to 300 they expected to show up are tired of living in fear for their lives because of people like this.

Hill likely already submitted to Islam. He has been going to a radical (is there any other kind?) mosque for some time, according to reports.

They were perhaps hoping this thing will turn into another Mumia thing; so far, not much luck.

So what is the rationale for “supporting” Maurice Hill?

Of course they support him. The eternal battle between good an devil has two sides, and the democrats have chosen the side with bigger numbers, the side that loves murderers and drug dealers.

Why no number? Is a handful still too many for them to count? Were there 8? 10? 15? Or less?

They mean by “handful” the brains of the total crowd would not even amount to a handful.

Ia Mumia still alive after murdering Daniel Faulkner? He murdered Officer Faulkner in 1981. And we wonder why some of our citizens have no faith in our justice system.
