Obama took time off from attending campaign coffees to attend October’s Million Man March in Washington, D.C. His experiences there only reinforced his reasons for jumping into politics.
“What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society,” he said. “There was a profound sense that African-American men were ready to make a commitment to bring about change in our communities and lives.”
It’s too bad the white self-loathing former Black Panther, Terry Bisson can’t make THAT claim…but I’m sure he wishes he could:
It’s not fair. The Panthers are not America’s only political prisoners; there are scores of American Indians, MOVE militants, Puerto Rican Independentistas and white radicals serving draconian sentences for what can only be deemed “political” crimes.
What a stupid sweeping generalization! Leonard Peltier is in jail for the murders of Jack Coler and Ronald Williams.
Not satisfied with the terrible injuries they had inflicted, Peltier and two other men walked down the hill toward the ambushed officers. Three shots were heard. Williams, kneeling and apparently surrendering, was shot in the face directly through his outstretched, shielding hand. He died instantly. Coler, still unconscious,was shot twice in the head at close range. He died instantly after the second shot. Before leaving the murder scene, Peltier and his criminal associates stole the two dead agents’ handguns and the .308 rifle Coler was going after when shot.
The crime scene examination testified to the brutality of the ambush. Coler and Williams had little chance to defend themselves. They had fired only five shots. In contrast, over 125 bullet holes were found in their two cars.
“Political” and ‘draconian’- my ass. But we can rely on guys like Ramsey Clark to defend lowlifes like Leonard Peltier and prop them as heroes…just as he defended Saddam Hussein. Rest assured Terry Bisson sides with Clark on the definition of ‘criminal’…and unfortunately for them, we still live in a society that condemns cop killers and genocidal dictators. Mumia, another person that the likes of Farrakhan and Bisson support, is in jail for murdering Danny Faulkner in the same ruthless cold-blooded manner. Of course, they characterize Mumia as being a ‘political prisoner victim’, too.
Danny’s wife wrote a book about her husband’s murder, it can be ordered here.
Also, see the website “Justice for Danny Faulkner”.
On December 9, 1981, at approximately 3:55 a.m., Officer Danny Faulkner, a five year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, made a traffic stop at Locust Street near Twelfth Street. The car stopped by Officer Faulkner was being driven by William Cook. After making the stop, Danny called for assistance on his police radio and requested a police wagon to transport a prisoner. Unbeknownst to him, William Cook’s brother, Wesley (aka Mumia Abu-Jamal) was across the street. As Danny attempted to handcuff William Cook, Mumia Abu-Jamal ran from across the street and shot the officer in the back. Danny turned and was able to fire one shot that struck Abu-Jamal in the chest; the wounded officer then fell to the pavement. Mumia Abu-Jamal stood over the downed officer and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Mumia Abu-Jamal was found still at the scene of the shooting by officers who arrived there within seconds. The murderer was slumped against the curb in front of his brother’s car. In his possession was a .38 caliber revolver that records showed Mumia had purchased months earlier. The chamber of the gun had five spent cartridges. A cab driver, as well as other pedestrians, had witnessed the brutal slaying and identified Mumia Abu-Jamal as the killer both at the scene and during his trial. On July 2, 1982, after being tried before a jury of ten whites and two blacks, Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Officer Danny Faulkner. The next day, the jury sentenced him to death after deliberating for two hours. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard the defendant’s appeals and upheld the conviction on March 6, 1989.
It was an open and shut case…and the only people politicizing Mumia’s incarceration are socialist moonbats who think that someone who shoots a white cop to death–first by shooting him in the back, and then by shooting him in the face while he lies on the ground defenseless–deserves to be freed. Mumia deserves the death penalty.
It’s no wonder that Bisson’s lookalike at thinkingmeat.net is so blindly defending Obama…they are ideologically cut from the same radical cloth. Up until recently, Obama’s campaign website showed the “New Black Panthers” as a supporting organization..and Mumia, in fact, helped form the Philadelphia branch of the Black Panther Party.
