The U.S. Supreme Court just denied the former Black Panther known as Mumia Abu-Jamal another trial, despite his lawyers’ unfounded cries of racism influencing his 1982 trial in which he was convicted of murdering 25 year-old Philadelphia Police officer Daniel Faulkner..
Last December marked the 27th anniversary of the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. While the voice of Officer Faulkner has been silent for more than a quarter of a century, his killer is very much alive and his voice is heard quite often. The former Black Panther who goes by the name Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook) gives numerous interviews, delivers college commencement speeches, and even has a street named in in his honor. Despite his conviction and subsequent death sentence, Abu-Jamal continues to thumb his nose at the justice system and con those who seem to possess more sympathy than common sense.

This while another former Black Panther meets with Castro...
Fidel Castro meets with 3 visiting US lawmakers
By WILL WEISSERT
April 7, 2009
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., current head of the 42-member caucus, said at a news conference in Washington after the group's return that lawmakers met for nearly two hours with Fidel Castro and found him "very healthy, very energetic, very clear thinking."
Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Calif., who also met Fidel with Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., said Castro 'looked directly into our eyes' and asked how Cuba could help Obama in his efforts to change the course of U.S. foreign policy. Richardson said she had the impression that 82-year-old Fidel wants to see changes in U.S.-Cuba relations in his lifetime.
Raul Castro, added Lee, "said everything was on the table." ..."

PROFILE: BOBBY RUSH:
* Democratic Member of Congress
* Member of the radical Progressive Caucus
* In 1968, went AWOL from the U.S. Army
* Co-founder of the Illinois branch of the Black Panther Party
* In 1969, served six months in jail for an illegal weapons conviction
* Advocates reparations for African Americans
"Bobby Rush has described his involvement with the Black Panthers as part of his maturation process, as a youthful indiscretion that he abandoned immediately after Hampton's death. He described his role mostly as running the Black Panther Party's Free Breakfast for Children program.
But Bobby Rush served six months in jail for a 1969 illegal weapons conviction and, even after his release, in 1971 his comrades were still describing him as the 'Deputy Minister of Defense' for the Black Panther Party in Illinois. In 1992 the socialist magazine In These Times praised fledgling congressional candidate Rush, writing that he 'has continued to support progressive policies and has never disavowed his Panther past...."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROS
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Good deal! Now if only they would execute the sorry SOB...or is PA a wussy anti-death penalty state?
Pennsylvania
Does my state have the death penalty?
Yes, Pennsylvania has executed a total of 3 people since 1976.
What is my governor’s position on the death penalty?
Governor Ed Rendell (D), former Philadelphia prosecutor and mayor, supports the death penalty, but has said he will review the issue if warranted. In early 2003 a community appointed by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said that executions should be stopped until the state can show how race effects death penalty sentences.
How many people are on Death Row in my state?
There are currently 231 prisoners on Death Row in Pennsylvania. Of the 231 Death Row prisoners, 141 are black, 70 are white, 18 are Latino and 2 are Asian. Out of the 231 prisoners on Death Row, 5 of them are women.
Let’s face it — the majority of the black caucus can’t stand this country, nor can their constituencies who keep electing them over and over again.
Somebody please just flush this turd already.
Hang him high or draw and quarter!! Just another sickening example of the justice system. Starkweather was executed 6 months after his crimes.
MUMIA!
The same commie outfits sought to free “Tookie Williams”.
Caution: this site holds nothing back!
