Mumia made Honorary citizenship in Pairs

[Straybow]

I can't understand people who just have to believe anything anti-government, however half-baked. Our resident Jamalista says Jamal got what he deserved when he started grabbing at straws of "conspiracy."

What else supports Jamal? Nothing. But since the whole world is a capitalist conspiracy… blah, blah, blah.

VIVA LA FRANCE!!!

Those corrupt Philly cops should fry.

Your fanaticism is laudable and your rhetoric is based on a magnificent template. All that's missing are red, bloodshot eyes and flying spit.

Oh, crap, that's an ad hominem.

Just because its a court record doesn't mean it wasn't a lie. Falsified testimony is still false, even when in court records.

True religion cannot be argued with.

Police can be crooked. Especially in the 60's and 70's.

Nevertheless, he's changed his story so many times it's obvious even he can't keep track of it anymore.

You'd think he'd "remember" such a significant event better.

[NeOmega]

Significant events, especially in moments of trauma, can be very hard to remember.

#1, if some cop were beating the daylights out of Theben and I had a gun and was there, you can be sure there'd be one less cop in the world.

Assuming that Faulkner was in fact beating the daylights out of Mumia's brother, why did the brother only have injuries so minor there was no need to take him to the hospital?

[Al B. Sure!]

why is this France's business? I remember there was another famous Philadelphian convicted murderor (Ira Einhorn) who spent 20+ years hiding away in France. God damn French and their loving of criminals.

as for Mumia, the way i see it is this... the man has been on death row for 20 years or so so there must be enough doubt for him to still be alive. with re-trials and appeals and **** it is clear the original trial was ****ed up. too bad its too late now to have a real trial so this whole thing will stay being a mess until Mumia dies of natural causes probably. (poor mrs. Faulkner by the way)

apparently though Will Cook, the man who Faulkner was beating, had plead guilty to assault of an officer (Faulkner) and wasn't too badly beaten. I think the whole policing the police attitude that Mumia had left over from his BPP days made him too hyped when he saw Faulkner being a little tough on Cook.

and there's the lesson that we're always told... deal with police being bad at the time but take their badge number and sue them later. just deal with it for now.


thanks

France is not the only country that allows murders to run free in the their country, people that have commited crimes in the US. Mexico does the same thing. But with Mexico it is even worst. Their silly Supreme Court ruled a while back that life in prision is cruel and that they would not turn over people to the US if they face a death sentence, or even life in prison. The term can be 60 years or less. The major problem is that the US laws dont work that way and causes a lot of problems. Curently there are hunders of people wanted for murder runing around in Mexico, these are all Mexican citizens.

too bad Nigerians or Somalis don't flee over here so we can prevent them from being stonned to death... thats some real cruelty...

and that whole business of executing a woman who got raped... thats unbelievable.

Maybe if countries in Europe and Mexico focusing their efforts on protecting these people instead of murderers things would be different . . .

I will be willing to adopt your point of view when your tough policy toward crime will have proven to be efficient. Right now, there are proportionnally 5 times more people in jail in the US than in France. The difficulty is to prevent crime as much as we punish it. It is possible that Europe is trying too hard to prevent and the US are trying too hard to punish.

In the US crime has actually been going down in the past 25 years. Allthough In LA crime has started to go up because of the gangs here. Also It has a lot to do with the drug trade as well. A lot of crime results from it.
