Ok, 'pod...I'm going to sound really ignorant...and forgive me, I'm but a "young" (time in) FReeper...but what's the significance of that shirt???"Fry Mumia" is a PARODY of the "Free Mumia" signs seen at many leftist rallies, and it drives them NUTS!

The calls of gullible whites for a Mumia Abu-Jamal retrial is reminiscent of their Black Panther worship in the '60s.

July 10, 1999 | I have no idea whether Mumia Abu-Jamal killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Vanity Fair's new revelation -- that a visitor says Abu-Jamal admitted the murder in a prison conversation in the early 1990s -- doesn't necessarily prove his guilt (though the well-researched article doesn't leave lots of room for doubt). In fact, the revelation of Abu-Jamal's private conversation with a visitor made me feel a tad sorry for the celebrated prisoner, who's been embraced by the loony left as though he was the reincarnation of the Rosenbergs, Huey Newton and George Jackson combined.
But Abu-Jamal's former prison visitor, Philip Bloch of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, says he finally revealed the alleged confession out of "disgust" with the militant idiocy of Abu-Jamal's supporters. The heartsick do-gooder, who's now a substitute teacher, says he was driven to honesty, after years of keeping the conversation secret, by the way Abu-Jamal's supporters have tormented Faulkner's widow, Maureen, for the crime of believing the Pennsylvania prisoner was correctly convicted.
I know how Bloch feels. The Mumia cult sickens me like little else in American politics today. For the white left, it's Black Panther worship all over again, with even less to worship. At least the Panthers, for all their violence and corruption, purported to be about economic uplift and breakfast programs for children and black self-determination in a city, Oakland, Calif., run by a white Republican machine left over from the 1940s. Abu-Jamal has done little but run a one-man self-promotion machine from prison...

His brother saw him do the deed and has never recanted.
The Far Left has made Mumia an icon and elevated him to political prisoner status. Hence, at their protests, one can see "Free Mumia" t-shirts and signs and the like.
Hence "Fry Mumia." It drives 'em absolutely ballistic. The lefties froth at the mouth at the mere mention of this. I have videotape to prove it.
