God forbid that anyone should be allowed to talk about the misery caused by a murderer. Because in leftyloonyland, it’s the murderer we need to have sympathy for. I was reading at Van Helsing’s and elsewhere about Mumia Abu-Jamal and his leftist adoring fans…when it should be the police officer, Danny Faulkner that we are thinking about as we approach another anniversary of his cold-blooded murder.
Mumia has the french crooning–he’s an honorary citizen in Paris, he’s even had a street named after him there.
Since being placed on death row a generation ago for murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981, Abu-Jamal has given commencement addresses for UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Antioch College, Occidental College, and Evergreen State College. NPR even had plans to pay him taxpayers’ money for commentary on the execrable program “All Things Considered.”
In leftyland, cop killers are to be adored. (Actually murderers in general, don’t forget Tookie Williams and candlelight vigils…) We don’t need police, we need more teachers. But as long as murderers, child molesters and pedophiles are given sympathy and few if any consequences, they will continue to walk our streets and terrorize our neighborhoods so that people will not let their kids out to play alone. Behavior rewarded is behavior repeated. This is one of the reasons why people would RATHER have their kids inside playing computer games, IMO. Because there are monsters waiting in the dark.
There is another cop killer adoring story that I’m aware of…the one of Mark McPhail. Troy Anthony Davis’ supporters are acting similar to Mumia’s. You rarely see any cop’s face in the cop killer adoring stories the drooling media put forth.
The cold hard truth is this:
Abu-Jamal shot Officer Faulkner in the back from about a foot away. His guilt isn’t even in question.
He is not only a cold-blooded cop killer, but a virulently anti-American black Marxist with dreadlocks who took on a Muslim name (he was born Wesley Cook). All of this makes him so sacred to moonbats that they are threatening to storm Rockefeller Center, enraged that Faulkner’s widow Maureen is scheduled to appear on the Today Show Thursday.
On Thursday, Danny’s widow, Maureen Faulkner, will be appearing on the Today Show to promote her new book: “Murdered by Mumia: a Life Sentence of Pain, Loss and Injustice.”
The Today Show people have no official comment, but according to an obscene cult calling itself the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition (NYC), they are negotiating with the moonbats. If true, this would set a new MSM standard for contemptible cowardice.
And they’d be setting a new standard for bad taste. Isn’t it bad enough that this poor woman has had to endure years and years without her husband? Isn’t it bad enough what she had to endure after her husband’s cold blooded murder and then seeing these crazies cry for his murderer?
I hope there are people around her to give her moral support.
Shame on the Today’s Show for giving them an ear. They should shut them down and tell them that Maureen should have her chance to speak, unfettered by leftist stormtroopers. But that won’t happen; the media is infested with them.
May God bless Maureen Faulkner.
Danny Faulkner and the cult of Mumia
The anniversary of Danny’s murder is on December 9. He wasn’t even 30 years old. But God forbid that anyone should be allowed to talk about the misery caused by a murderer; or the heartbreak of his widow. Because in leftyloonyland, it…
The more I read about moonbat’s honoring the scum of the earth like in this case, the better I like root canals! How can anyone honor or respect a murderer, let alone one who shoots their victim in the back and hates the country he grew up in??? I mean removing the fact that it’s a police officer, taking the life of another human being is dispicable. But these lefty nutjobs are so brain dead they lend a man like this support??? I wonder how any one of them would feel if they went home tonight and was told that the person they loved the most in the world, was shot and killed in the back??? And add to that the person telling them that the person that did it was really a good and honorable man who does not deserve the death penalty???
Then I read the comments on the TBogg blog from 2006 about Alec and I want to puke. It reminds me of the callousness it took for those Roman Soldiers to cast lots for the garments of Jesus while he was suffering and dying on a cross for their sins! (Not trying to compare Alec to Christ, it is just the same attitude that I see). That’s what thier left wing looney rationalizing reminds me of every time!!!
Alec takes a lot of abuse from lefty idiots. As do I and others…just for taking a conservative, small government, God loving, freedom loving position.
I have as yet to read that tbogg thing…but I will get to it eventually.
Instead of resorting to name calling maybe you should look at the facts. Mumia legally owned a .34 caliber weapon. The bullet removed from Faulkner was .44 caliber bullet. It doesn’t take a erudite to know it would be impossible for Mumia’s gun to be the murder weapon. Also the prime witness, Cynthia White, was later identified as a police informant. Not to mention the undeniably racist attitude of Judge Sabo.
I am not disagreeing with the pain that Faulkner’s wife has been put through, but I will look down on the men and women who contribute to racism and prejudices that should not exist.
If you honestly think that Mumia Abu Jamal should be put to death you are only bringing down the very fundamentals on which this country was founded upon.
I agree with Justin. First find the truth then indict them. Thanks Justin for supporting the us lefty-nut brained- idiots.
Mumia abu jamal is innocent. As justin said Mumia legally owned a .34 caliber weapon and the bullet removed from Faulkner was .44 caliber bullet. There it is, everybody feels bad for the cop but lets also remember what the cop was doing to before he got shot. Why honor a cop that abuses the badge? Free Mumia
I knew Abu-Jamal, am intimately familiar with his case and have no doubt that he is guilty as sin.
* * * * *
I don’t remember why I had stayed after my 1 a.m. quitting time as night city editor of the Philadelphia Daily News early on the morning of December 9, 1981, but I do remember that I was talking to Tom Schmidt, the overnight editor, when a message crackled over one of the police radio scanners:
“Officer down at 13th and Arch. Send back-up and assistance.”
Police Office Daniel Faulkner had stopped a car in Center City driven by one William Cook. According to the police and prosecution version of what happened next, Cook assaulted Faulkner, who then tried to subdue Cook. At this point, Abu-Jamal, Cook’s brother, jumped from a nearby taxi that he was driving and shot Faulkner in the back.
Faulkner returned fire, seriously wounding Abu-Jamal, who shot the officer four more times at close range as he staggered toward him. Abu-Jamal was quickly arrested and transported to a nearby hospital. He is said to have stated in the emergency room that “I shot the motherfucker, and I hope he dies,” but later denied having implicated himself.
Abu-Jamal, born Wesley Cook, was as a part-timer writer for several African-American publications who drove a cab to make ends meet. He wanted so badly wanted to work for the Daily News that whenever he had an opportunity he would stop by the newsroom to schmooze. I thought that Abu-Jamal was a nice enough guy, but was a little too green and much too willing to inject his politics into what he wrote.
There never was any doubt in my mind that Abu-Jamal, seeing his brother scuffle with Faulkner, had shot the office in the heat of the moment. A jury agreed and he was convicted and sentenced to death in 1982. In 2001, the death sentence but not the conviction was overturned. Both sides are appealing.
In the 26 years since the murder, Abu-Jamal has become a jailhouse pundit and international cause célèbre, a darling of Amensty International and lightning rod for opponents and proponents of the death penalty. He enjoys little support in Philadelphia, but the further one gets from there the more people consider him to be the victim of a racist political prosecution. Among his celebrity supporters are Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Michael Moore and Spike Lee.
Beyond political postering and basking in the glow of international awards, among them being made an honorary citizen of Paris (sacré-freaking-bleu!), Abu-Jamal has been unable or perhaps has not even wanted to do the one thing that would seem to matter most — make a convincing argument for his own innocence.
He has refused to testify on his own behalf and has failed to produce his brother to testify. As perverse as it seems, Abu-Jamal may understand that the fame he has attained in prison would have eluded him on the street.
Nevertheless, his never ending legal case highlights a lot that is wrong and damned little that is right with the criminal justice system.
* The judge at the original trial showed a clear bias for the prosecution.
* Abu-Jamal fired his first lawyer and represented himself. He put on a political defense (“they went after me because I’m a black man”) and did such a lousy job that the judge ordered the lawyer back into the courtroom.
* While the physical evidence against him is powerful, the ballistics tests were botched.

Was Mumia Abu-Jamal the victim of a racist political prosecution? Probably.
Was he guilty but an effort was made to frame him? In all likelihood.
Has he explained why he has not made a convincing effort to try to prove his innocence? No.
Is he deserving of all the attention? Absolutely not.
Let’s be very clear: The system failed Abu-Jamal. But does that absolve him of the murder of Daniel Faulkner? Of course not.
daniel faulkner rest in piss
Hello,
I’ve got one question: Do you believe in lies only? The first thing is Mumia Abu-Jamal. We don’t know exactly that he killed the policeman Daniel Faulkner, we know only that he was killed. We don’t know if the killer Arnold Beverly or another person killed him. The death of a policeman is always a tragedy but we should not lie in his name.
The second thing is that you don’t believe in global warming. Why not? You can see that the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere increased from the beginning of the industrial revolution. That means that the humanity with the burning of coal and oil causes the climate change. I know that in the history of the earth there were always fluctuations of the climate but it’s conspicuous that the fluctuation begins with the industrial revolution.
Sorry, my English is not very good.
Sincerly yours,
David
Hello, you have more than one question there. So which one do you want me to answer? LOL
dumbass.
Lies are what you don’t agree with; but that’s not my definition….so you’re going to have to re-craft your questioning and re-submit.
As far as Jamal, there is no question what he did, and there is no question that he did it.
You don’t let murderers out of prison because of the color of their skin, although they tried to do it with Crips Founder – the notorious unapologetic murderer Tookie Williams.
The two of you are going to have to go back to the drawing board because I don’t swallow this BS you’re spewing.
