Lynne Stewart, the activist lawyer, was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison. This outstanding lawyer, a 70 year old grandmother, who is facing the serious threat of breast cancer, was originally sentenced to 2 years and 4 months, but the federal appeals court apparently felt that wasn’t enough. The same appeals courts that traditionally reverse the convictions of cops who torture or kill Black citizens, and who traditionally rely on the judgments of the trial courts, reversed Stewart’s sentence as not tough enough. So much for judicial tradition. For Lynne’s tradition wasn’t that of the tony, tie and tails law firms of downtown Manhattan. She didn’t represent the rich, the powerful, the well-heeled. She represented the poor, the oppressed, the destitute and the dispossessed; the Black, the Latino, the Arab, the damned; those whom Frantz Fanon famously called “the wretched of the earth.” A juxtaposition: Many, many lawyers on the Office of Legal Counsel, in the White House, the CIA, and the Defense Dept. violated criminal laws, the military legal code, the Geneva Conventions, and the Convention Against Torture (CAT) [not to mention the U.S. Constitution!] to aid and abet violations of law—for years. Guess how many of them faced trial? Guess how many of them will in future? How many of them will ever face prison? None, None—and none. For their crimes were on behalf of the powerful; the state; hence their immunity. Or consider what is known in international law as the “supreme crime”: wars of aggression. Iraq will be a basket case for generations, thanks to American arrogance and greed. Will anybody be brought to book for this crime, that shattered a nation, that sent millions into exile, and killed perhaps a million men, women and children? Don’t hold your breath. There are still black sites, secret prisons, where tortures happen daily. There is still extraordinary renditions—clear violations of the Convention Against Torture (CAT). But politicians are doing it—not to “protect” the nation—but to secure elections. Torture for votes. And a 70 year old grandmother, a lawyer, is sent to prison for 10 years—for violating a prison rule that is an unconstitutional relic of the so-called war on terror. This is what an empire in decline looks like. 18 July 2010 ©2010 Mumia Abu-Jamal Send urgently needed contributions for Mumia’s legal defense, made payable to “National Lawyers Guild Foundation” and earmarked for “Mumia,” to: Committee to Save Mumia Abu-Jamal, P.O.

The nigger did it.

damn, what basketball team does he play for??
Capitalist Erica must be a great chef. All the guys in the soup kitchen line all talk about how well he "TOSSES SALAD".
lol, that adds an air of credibility to the article. < end reading >

And we need to hear from a convicted cop killer because....?
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
The Supreme Court is going to review the penalty aspect of his case in November. There has been much in the way of new information and evidence showing he is innocent. Confessions from the real killer who tells why he and another man killed Officer Faulkner, and the most reasonable thing to do would be to re-try the case. He was an activist very unpopular with Philly PD, and much evidence people were bullied and threatened by the police to not testify revealing someone killed Faulkner before Mumia came upon the scene. I would be more then happy to go over what I know on this case with anyone. I believe is is innocent, and should be completely exonerated for the crime he was falsely convicted of. When the US Supreme Court rules against this cop killer, those that support him will claim it was bogus. No different than the 9/11 truthers, or fake moon landing kooks in my view.

The legal lynching of Mumia Abu-Jamal has turned into so much quicksand for those trying to kill the scapegoat who did not kill anyone. Naturally you are too lame and too inept to argue the case, which is too bad. Well sonnie, maybe a grown-up will step up and do so. Now, go run along and play with your yo yo.
Now, go run along and play with your yo yo. Get over yourself, mikey. I've read about this case for two DECADES. He's guilty as hell, and he's never getting out. Every legal ploy has blown up in his face, and his insane supporters.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
And "his insane supporters" what? You didn't write a coherent sentence. If you are saying alleged legal ploys have blown up in the faces of them too, say so. Because I sure an not going to believe for one moment you read a damn thing about this case if you are to inept to even respond using understandable English to do so.
OMG! Too fookin funny!
Gee, getting a might upset aren't you? He's been through the system multiple times on this. He's appealed, and been denied repeatedly. I've seen the reports, watched the celebrity supporters like Mike Ferrell talk about it for decades now. The guy's guilty. He's never getting out. Nobody has ever debunked the eye witness testimony of the shooting. Thats the bottom line.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Years ago I watched Mike Ferrell (actor from MASH) on a show, and he called asserted the eye witness was wrong. The problem for Ferrell was the 'eye witness' was on the program as well, and made him look quite insane. Here's a guy who used his celebrity to get involved in this case, who was 3,000 miles away from the scene of the crime...telling the eye witness to her face 'you were mistaken'. Its insane.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Except there has indeed been a large amount of eye witness testimony that some one else wearing a green coat completely different then what Mumia was wearing did the crime. And there has been a confession by a man claiming he did it, not Mumia. And there is a great deal of evidence that the police suppressed much of the eye witness evidence with coercion and threats. No Badeye, he did not do the shooting. And the police went to a lot of trouble to shoot and beat him to try to off him in retaliation for his work as an activist. They actually had hoped he would die so there would not be a legal lynching of a trial. Which in Philadelphia of that era should surprise no one.
We disagree. Its okay. I'm happy with him right where he is.

Is your forum an advertising venue, stone?
Living in mouth breather's empty noggins 24/7/365 totally rent free!
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. It is amusing you worry, this is hardly the venue that would generate donations. And had I noticed it was more then the usual reporter's email and usual article stuff, I would of not included it. It is fine with me if it is deleted. I prefer not to repost ads like that.
Want to debate, or are you just into amusing me with your cyber commando without a brain act? Arnold Beverly on 8 Jun 1999 signed a sworn confession of witness that he, Beverly, had shot and killed police officer Daniel Faulkner, and that "Jamal had nothing to do with the shooting." Beverly confessed that he and another man were hired to kill Officer Faulkner, that organized crime leaders and police officers were involved in the plan to kill Faulkner, and that police officers were present at the shooting. Co- counsel Daniel Williams agreed with him and was complicit in the suppression of this evidence. Rachel H. Wolkenstein signed a sworn deposition she resigned from Jamal's defense team because lead counsel Leonard Weinglass refused to submit this exculpatory evidence at the initial Petition for Post-Conviction Relief of Mumia Abul-Jamal in Pennsylvania state courts. Beverly's confession does not stand alone but is supported by a wealth of evidence in the record. This confession helped to lay bare the extent and consciousness of police and procecutorial misconduct in prosecuting and convicting this man for a crime he did not commit. Now, if you and Badeye are so sure and know so much on the case, let's hear a coherent argument debunking the overwhelming evidence that Mumia is innocent and should be freed.
LOL! There's NOTHING to "debate" corn flake boy. Your little hero DID the crime, he was convicted and sentenced, and now he's going to FRY. F him, and F you, and the rest of the brain dead libturd racist scum who support and defend this piece of human garbage. Living in mouth breather's empty noggins 24/7/365 totally rent free!
Sounds fishy to me. Let's just fry the dude they caught and all agree not to kill cops any more. Would that satisfy you hippies?
"Were you ever in the music or song writing business?" ... e_type_jagoff to Mudboy lol ..... AND ....... "But his decent into vile absurdity is still actually kind of sad and pitiful really" .... mad doggie
Mayor Frank Rizzo ran a crooked city with crooked cop. It is a historical fact you would look foolish trying to argue. Which means you will, as you are a premier fool here, cupcake. I do like Mumia in that I know he is innocent and wrongly prosecuted, but I'll appoint my own heroes, zero. You are the racist, or you also would of taken the idiot in post one to task for his reducing the issue to StormFront.com level. You don't want to debate the issue precisely because you are racist, foolish, and unable to read and comprehend the issues surrounding the Mumia case. By the way, why do you want to fuck him, or have sex with me if you hate him or me so much? No, I don't want to "F" you, and I can't speak for Mumia, but I imagine he would not be interested in seeing your micro penis either.
I am against capital Punishment, 'frying' the innocent, and I would never kill any cop unless he or she was wrongfully trying to kill me unjustly and I could not avoid doing so. I do not like gratuitously attacking cops merely for doing a difficult job. In fact my niece is a police officer, and I have several friends on the Eugene, OR police force I would not take kindly to if anyone attacked. I would also come to the aid of a police officer being attacked and in danger of being hurt or dying as I would for anyone. I generally loathe violence, but I don't turn the other cheek to those situations at all. I was trained to the point in the Army I would act instinctively and default to helping without hesitation. I know because I've experienced the conditioning to not lose what advantage I have in those situation, and I think only old age would possibly change this personal paradigm. And I am not a Hippie, dude. No doubt being a Eugenean I am highly influenced by that sub-culture; but I am not that laid back and structureless in my life. But thanks for sharing. Hey, I give it to you that at least your post was entertaining. Which really stood out next to that one from the insane hairball who posted just before you. Thanks for sharing.
If it ever becomes a top of the news issue, then I'll go there. Right now, he's convicted, never to be released, and I'm 100% satisfied. There are more important issues in the 'here and now'.

Yes, my 7th grade spelling, and terrible grammar...&;-)
"I really wanna care. I wanna feel somethin'. Let me dig a little deeper:. No, My give-a-damn's busted"~ Messina Jo Dee
I can live with the spelling and your writing because everyone should express some personality in what they do in forum. What I don't like is your attitude that you are a forum ninja that can dig up dirt, blackmail and manipulate others in revenge for perceived slights. You need a thicker skin, because everyone; including me deals with flaming and criticism. It's not whether you get it, it's how well you can deal with it with class and character. Give it a rest, because retaliating to your games is no priority of me or anyone here. Treat others like you want them to treat you, and you would be surprised to find how easier life on line generally becomes. Here you are starting the day with your ax grinding away on the sharpening stone. You are invited to relax and realize you are no better or worse them anyone else in here. But if you want to ring the bell for another round, no one is going to shy away from giving it right back.
Yeah, I haven't been spinning that issue - which isn't the header topic anyway, and he merely wrote the piece. I just respond as others bring the Mumia issue up. This is not the sort of forum with that level of interest in open debate on the case where I would look to do a structured run through like I would have on say Time.Com/Politics which was more an open forum with a more balanced mix of viewpoints on the issues and politics. No problem Badeye, I definitely don't agree with you on many things. But respecting your disinterest in an exchange on any topic is not a problem. Hope your weekend is a good one.
So far its been a good weekend, thanks.

"Challenging the cult of Mumia Abu-Jamal By Michelle Malkin • December 4, 2007 08:18 AM Over the years, I’ve tracked Mumia Chic–the Left’s deranged worship of convicted Death Row murderer Mumia Abu Jamal that has spread from Philly to St. Denis, France and points in between. This December 9th marks the 25th anniversary of the brutal murder of Abu Jamal’s victim, Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. His brave widow, Maureen Faulkner, and Philly talk show host/author Michael Smerconish are keeping the slain officer’s memory alive with a new book, “Murdered by Mumia.” The cult of Mumia is reacting accordingly–by trying to bully and intimidate Mrs. Faulkner. Mumia has received decades of slobbering press coverage worldwide. God forbid his victim’s family and supporters receive a fraction of airtime. The NYPost reports: Supporters of cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal are threatening to storm the streets of Rockefeller Center Thursday morning to protest the “Today” show. The New York-based “Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition” is infuriated that Maureen Faulker – the widow of Philadelphia police office Daniel Faulker, whom Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering 25 years ago – is scheduled to appear on the show Thursday to promote her new book, “Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Pain, Loss and Injustice.” The activists – who claim on their Web site to have demanded “equal time” but “as of yet have gotten no agreement to that” -will protest outside. Faulkner told Page Six via a statement, “After 26 years of this harrowing experience, the purpose of writing this book is to finally find a peaceful closure to my husband’s tragic ending. A jury of 12 convicted Mumia Abu-Jamal of murdering my husband, and for 25 years Abu- Jamal has been on death row acting as if he was a Hollywood superstar or political prisoner . . . He has a voice, and my late husband doesn’t.” There’s more information on the pro-Mumia bullies’ campaign here. It appears that the Today Show is negotiating with them: 12/2 Update – The Today Show scheduled a telephone conference with Pam Africa (of the ICFFMAJ) for this past Friday. Following this conference, Pam Africa reported that she spoke with the show and provided them with our Press Pack of background information on Mumia’s case. The Today Show did not make an official decision regarding our request, but said they would look at the information and contact Pam Africa this week with their official response to our desire to have equal representation on The Today Show. The Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC) calls on everyone who can join us on Thursday December 6th at 7:15 AM to please come to 48th Street and Rockefeller Plaza. We will be picketing the planned hit job on Mumia by Maureen Faulkner and Michael Smerconish in discussing their new book, MURDERED BY MUMIA, on NBC’s TODAY SHOW. We have demanded “equal time” but as yet have gotten no agreement to that by the TODAY SHOW. Stand there with us in solidarity with Mumia! PICKET AT THE TODAY SHOW DATE: Thursday Dec. 6th TIME: 7:15 AM PLACE: 48th Street and Rockefeller Plaza (between 5th and 6th Avenues) For more info or to leave a message, call (212) 330-8029. ONA MOVE! FREE MUMIA AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! ACTION ALERT: Ensure Fairness For Mumia Abu-Jamal on NBC’s The Today Show! On Dec. 6, NBC’s The Today Show intends to air a show about Michael Smerconish and Maureen Faulkner’s new book “Murdered By Mumia.” According to the announcement on Michael Smerconish’s website, the show is planning to feature both Smerconish and Faulkner as guests. The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (FreeMumia.com), Journalists for Mumia (Abu-Jamal-News.com), and Educators for Mumia (EmajOnline.com) have initiated a media-activist campaign urging people to write The Today Show at today@msnbc.com asking them to fairly present both sides of the Mumia Abu-Jamal / Daniel Faulkner case, by also featuring as guests, Linn Washington, Jr. (Philadelphia Tribune columnist and Associate Professor of Journalism at Temple University) and Dr. Suzanne Ross (Clinical Psychologist and Co-Chair of the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition, NYC). A sample letter (www.abu-jamal- news.com/pr/TodayShow.doc), accompanied by an extensive informational press pack (www.abu-jamal-news.com/pr/PressPackNov07.pdf) has been created to use for contacting The Today Show. Please take a minute and contact them to ensure fair media coverage of this controversial and important case. Sincerely, The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (FreeMumia.com) Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal (Abu-Jamal- News.com) Educators for Mumia Abu-Jamal (EmajOnline.com) If you’re in the NYC area and can counter-protest, don’t miss the opportunity. The “journalists” and the “educators” and Hollyweirdos and international concern trolls and race hustlers have Mumia’s back. Who has Daniel Faulkner’s? Here’s our Hot Air report on Daniel Faulkner’s murder last year: And Michael Smerconish’s report:" Living in mouth breather's empty noggins 24/7/365 totally rent free!
