Maureen Faulkner Mumia Abu-Jamal

Widow of Philadelphia police officer David Faulkner is writing a book and Mumia Abu-Jamal supporters are not happy:

The New York-based “Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition” is infuriated that Maureen Faulkner – the widow of Philadelphia police office Daniel Faulkner, 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 states:

“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.”

    I don’t know the full story either…however, if he was found guility of the crime and his appeals have been denied then his group doesn’t deserve air time…

    There is speculation that his brother actually was the one who shot the officer. Meanwhile he was wounded neer the scene of the crime(robery)His story is ,that he was helping his brother who was being accosted by the police, and he just was nearby when all this went down.

    TT

    Bossip have you ever reported on this story before? We need a little more history if you arent to tired to type.

    i love...'Snickers'

    There are a lot of conflicting stories about what happened that night…from what I’ve read, NO ONE actually saw the shooting. There were witnesses, but they only recall hearing shots fired and seeing the officer on the ground…

    Mumia’s brother was stopped by officer Faulkner and some sort of “scuffle” took place…Mumia was sitting in his taxicab nearby and intervened…shots were fired…Mumia was also shot and wounded (by Faulkners bullets)… when officers arrived on the scene they found a .38 caliber revolver (which he purchased in ‘79) next to Mumia’s body and he was charged when he got to the hospital…

    …the coroner that performed to autopsy on the officer said he extracted a .44 caliber bullet from the officer, but later reacanted……

    Anonymous3

    now I get why this guy has supporters…it appears that the 4 eyewitness for the prosecution either did not get a good look at the shooter or stood to gain from testifying…..

    Anonymous3

    Four eyewitnesses, who testified that they were at or in sight of the scene at the time of the shooting, were produced by the prosecution:

    Robert Chobert, a disqualified/unlicensed cab driver on parole for arson,[26] with two arrests for drunk-driving,[27] who in 1995 admitted to having sought the advice of the trial prosecutor as to how he could reclaim his driving privileges;[28]

    Cynthia White, a prostitute;

    Michael Scanlon, a motorist;

    Albert Magilton, a pedestrian.

    Robert Chobert said he was in his cab parked directly behind Faulkner’s police car. He positively identified Abu-Jamal as the shooter, testifying: “I heard a shot. I looked up, I saw the cop fall to the ground, and then I saw Jamal standing over him and firing some more shots into him…Then I saw him [Jamal] walking back about ten feet and he just fell by the curb.”[29] During cross-examination, he admitted that he had originally told police that the shooter had moved 30 rather than 10 ft away from Faulkner, and had been 30-to-50 pounds heavier than Abu-Jamal. He explained, “I’m not good at weight. Do you think I’m going to stand there for a couple of minutes and ask him how much he weighs?”[30] In his September 25, 2001, affidavit private investigator George Newman describes that under interrogation Chobert had recanted the aspect of his testimony that his taxi had been parked directly behind Faulkner’s police car as well as the *****ertion that he had witnessed a person firing bullets into the body of Faulkner as the latter lay *****e on the ground.[31]

    Cynthia White testified to witnessing the shootings from a nearby corner. Describing Abu-Jamal’s actions, she said: “he was running out of the parking lot and he was practically on the curb when he shot two times at the police officer. It was the back. The police officer turned around and staggered and seemed like he was grabbing for something. Then he fell. Then he came over and be came on top of the police officer and shot some more times. After that he went over and he slouched down and he sat on the curb.”[32] Dessie Hightower has stated that he observed her to be at least half a block further away.[33] Prostitute Veronica Jones said later that she had been offered favorable treatment by police on condition that she corroborate Cynthia White.[33] In her declaration of January 28, 2002, Yvette Williams affirmed to having been incarcerated with White in December 1981 and being told by her that she had not even seen who shot Faulkner and that she had entirely fabricated a witness account identifying Abu-Jamal out of fear of the Philadelphia police.[34] Police informant Pamela Jenkins testified at a post-conviction relief hearing on June 26, 1997, that she had been pressured by Philadelphia police offers to falsely state that she had witnessed the killing of Faulkner and to falsely identify Abu-Jamal as the murderer. She also testified that she knew White to be in fear of her life from police in the period after the shooting of Faulkner and before the trial of Abu-Jamal, and that she had tracked down and discovered Ms White in the company of some Philadelphia police as recently as March 1997.[35] However, the prosecution produced Cynthia White’s death certificate showing that she had died in 1992.[36]

    Scanlan testified that he saw Faulkner *****aulted in front of his police car shortly before another man ran across the street from a parking lot and shot Faulkner. Scanlan was not able to identify the shooter. Under cross-examination, which was interrupted by Abu-Jamal being removed from the courtroom for disruption, Scanlan admitted to being mildly under the influence of alcohol and was unable to describe in detail the appearance of the *****ailant.[37]

    Magilton testified to witnessing Faulkner pull over Cook’s car and that at the point of seeing Abu-Jamal start to cross the street toward them from the parking lot he turned away and lost sight of what happened next until he heard gun shots. He did not see any shooting, or Chobert’s vehicle parked behind Faulkner’s.[38]

    after all the years that’s gone by, I don’t think we’ll ever know the TRUTH……

    T.J.

    This man did not receive a far trial. The Jena six should look at this case and be greatful that what could have happened did not because of the black communities intervention.

    I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PIGS CRYING ABOUT INJUSTICE.I NEVER HEAR THEM SAY A WORD WHEN A FAMILY OF PSYCHO WEST VIRGINIA HILLBILLIES RAPE AND TORTURE A BLACK WOMAN.BUT O.J. IS ON T.V. EVERYDAY FOR SOME BULL*****.AND THESE CRACKERS DONE HAD MANY BLACK BAR B Q’S POSING BY A LYNCHED BURNT BODY AND NOT ONE OF THESE DEVILS SEEN A COURTROOM FOR THERE DEVILISH WAYS.SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO WRITE A BOOK,YES BUT THE ***** WAS’NT THERE THAT NIGHT SO MAYBE THE PIG DESERVED WHAT HE GOT.

    P.S. SHOOT MORE OF THEM THEY DO IT DO US BLACK FOLKS.

    daria

    25 years?! What sort of bull ***** is that? If you did and everything, DNA included, says you did it, execute him. Who are these “supporters”? I’m guessing mostly black folk. News flash: statistically speaking, when a black person is charged with murder, the victim is generally black. I will ALWAYS side with victims and their families. If the DNA says you did it, you did it. I am so f-ing tired of people in prison achieving celebrity. It’s absurd.

    Ok. I have done a little research on this case, and, to me, the whole thing is suspicious on the part of the Philadelphia Police Department. The eyewitnesses seemed to have either all been threaten by the Philadelphia P.D.!

    Kenneth Freeman was a p*****enger of William Cook. William is Abu-Jamal’s brother. Apparently, original police statements said that Freeman was a contracted to kill the cop Faulkner cause he was dirty, and Abu-Jamal and his brother had nothing to do with it. Guess what? Ken Freeman was found dead after the police bombing of the MOVE communal residence in 1985 and neither his name nor the fact of his presence at the crimescene was raised at any stage during the course of the trial and sentencing in 1982!

    Check it out at Wikipedia.org!

    I feel bad for this lady losing her husband regardless the cir*****stances, but I sincerely think Abu-Jamal was set up by a shady system. THis is precisely the reason I chose this profession of criminal justice. Too many black men get put in prison on death row or life for crimes they did not commit.

    Prosecution case

    At the trial the following sequence of events was presented in evidence by the prosecution:[23]

    During the traffic stop, Cook *****aulted Faulkner, who in turn attempted to subdue Cook.

    Abu-Jamal emerged from a nearby parking lot, crossed the street, and shot Faulkner in the back.

    Faulkner was able to return fire, seriously wounding Abu-Jamal.

    Abu-Jamal then advanced on Faulkner, fired some additional shots at close range, one of which struck Faulkner in the face causing his death.

    Abu-Jamal was unable to flee due to his own gunshot wound, collapsed on a nearby curb, and was taken into custody by other police officers, who had been summoned by Faulkner at the time of the traffic stop.

    Hospital confession

    The prosecution presented two witnesses, security officer Priscilla Durham and Police Officer Garry Bell, who testified that while Abu-Jamal was at hospital, he acknowledged that he shot Faulkner by once or even twice proclaiming, “I shot the mother *****er, and I hope the mother *****er dies.” The hospital doctors are recorded as having said that Abu-Jamal was NOT CAPABLE of making such a statement during the time that he was reported to have uttered it. The original report of Gary Wakshul, a police officer who accompanied Abu-Jamal to and at the hospital, relates that “the negro male made no comments”. Wakshul later claimed to recall hearing Abu-Jamal’s alleged confession on the night of the killing, over two months after the arrest when interviewed by police Internal Affairs officers. He blamed “emotional trauma” for the delay. Judge Albert F. Sabo did not permit the trial jury to receive Wakshul’s report as evidence.

    From Wikipedia.org:

    Physical evidence

    A .38 caliber Charter Arms revolver purchased by Abu-Jamal to defend himself as a cab driver in 1979 was found at the scene next to him with 5 spent shell casings. Tests performed with the available physical evidence verify that Faulkner was killed by a .38 caliber bullet. The extracted slugs were identified as Federal brand .38 Special +P bullets with hollow bases, which matched the shell casings in Abu-Jamal’s handgun retrieved at the scene. The hollow base in a +P bullet is distinguishable from Federal ammunition otherwise used at that time. Charter Arms is known for rifling the barrels of their revolvers with eight lands and grooves in a right-hand direction of twist—characteristics also evident on the bullet fragments extracted from Faulkner’s body. Anthony L. Paul, Supervisor of the Firearms Identification Unit, testified at trial that the type of bullet was rare at the time, with only one manufacturer, though he could name two other manufacturers “right off the bat” which produce weapons bearing the same rifling characteristics of pattern and twist direction. Experts testified that the bullet taken from Abu-Jamal had been fired from Faulkner’s service weapon. George F*****nacht, a ballistics expert proferred by the defense, did not dispute any of the findings of the prosecution’s weapons and ballistics experts.

    Amnesty International, with reference to the physical evidence, has expressed the view that “…the police failed to conduct tests to ascertain whether the weapon had been fired in the immediate past…Compounding this error, the police also failed to conduct chemical tests on Abu-Jamal’s hands to find out if he had fired a gun recently.” In a 1995 hearing, a defense ballistics expert testified that due to Abu-Jamal’s struggle with the police during his arrest, such a test would have been difficult to accomplish and, due to the gunpowder residue possibly being shaken or rubbed off, would not have been scientifically reliable. A note written by coroner Dr. Paul Hoyer, who autopsied Daniel Faulkner, states that he extracted a .44 caliber bullet from Faulkner. This has led to claims that Faulkner was shot by a .44 caliber rather than a .38 caliber weapon. Hoyer admitted in 1995 that his note had been a “lay guess” based on his own observations, that he was not a firearms expert and that he had not received any training in weapons ballistics.

    From Wikipedia.com:

    Defense case

    The defense presented evidence, from witness Dessie Hightower, describing a man running along the street shortly after the shooting. This became known as the “running man theory”, based on the possibility that a “running man” may have been the actual shooter. Another witness, Veronica Jones, said “All I seen was two men and a policeman on the ground and what else can I say? I was kind of intoxicated.” In reply to the question, “Did you see anyone running away from the scene?” She replied, “I didn’t see anyone do nothing. No one moved.” The defense claimed to have a third witness, Deborah Kordansky, but she refused to appear in court. Of the witnesses, only Chobert testified that shortly after the shooting he had told police that he had seen Abu-Jamal shoot Faulkner in the face, and that Abu-Jamal had then run a short distance and collapsed on the sidewalk after being shot by Faulkner. None of the other witnesses claimed that the running man, or men, were involved in the shooting.

    The defense presented nine character witnesses including poet Sonia Sanchez. Sanchez testified that Abu-Jamal was “viewed by the black community as a creative, articulate, peaceful, genial man.” During cross examination the prosecution raised the issue of her *****ociation with convicted felon and Black Panther activist Joanne Chesimard; Sanchez was also asked over defense objections whether she supported other blacks who had killed police.

    From Wikipedia.org:

    Witnesses not called at trial

    Abu-Jamal did not testify in his own defense. Regarding this he has explained:

    “At my trial I was denied the right to defend myself. I had no confidence in my court-appointed attorney, who never even asked me what happened the night I was shot and the police officer was killed; and I was excluded from at least half the trial…Since I was denied all my rights at my trial I did not testify. I would not be used to make it look like I had a fair trial.”

    He did not state his version of events for the initial police investigation, nor for almost another 20 years afterwards, until the 1999 confession of Arnold Beverly, who claimed that, “wearing a green (camouflage) army jacket”, he had run across the street and shot a fallen Daniel Faulkner in the face as part of a contract killing connected with a desire to keep Faulkner from interfering with graft and payoff to corrupt police. Abu-Jamal’s sworn statement avers that he had been sitting in his cab across the street when he first heard shouting, then saw a police vehicle, then heard the sound of gunshots. It *****erts that, upon seeing his brother appearing disoriented across the street, he ran to him and was shot by a uniformed police officer. He claims to have no memory of the events between being shot by Faulkner and the arrival of officers at the scene and to have been abused by the police while he was still in need of medical *****istance for his wound. It concludes with his claim of innocence: “I never said I shot the policeman. I did not shoot the policeman…I never said I hoped he died. I would never say something like that.”

    For a similar period, William Cook also did not testify or make any statement whatsoever about events other than his utterance at the crimescene, “I ain’t got nothing to do with this.” On April 29, 2001, Cook belatedly declared that he would be willing to testify and that both he and his brother “had nothing do with shooting or killing the policeman”. The statement inculpates Kenneth Freeman as being armed with a .38 caliber firearm, present in Cook’s vehicle p*****enger seat immediately prior to the confronation with Daniel Faulkner, wearing a green army jacket, knowing of a plan to kill Faulkner, and parti*****ting in his shooting. Freeman’s handcuffed and naked corpse was discovered in North Philadelphia on the night of the police bombing of the MOVE communal residence in 1985 and neither his name nor the fact of his presence at the crimescene was raised at any stage during the course of the trial and sentencing in 1982. At the time of his death, Daniel Faulkner was in possession of the replacement temporary driver license of Arnold Howard which the latter had recently “loaned” to Freeman for unspecified purposes.

    Several others have made statements in support of Abu-Jamal. At a post-conviction review hearing of August 11, 1995, William “Dales” Singletary testified that he directly witnessed the shooting and that the gunman was the p*****enger in Cook’s car wearing a army overcoat. Singletary said that police tore up his written statements and that he was prevailed upon to sign a different statement which they dictated. Singletary’s account was deemed “not credible” and “medically impossible” (Singletary claimed that Faulkner spoke after being shot in the eye at point blank range, which would have been instantaneously lethal, and that a police helicopter was in attendance, which no other witnesses described). Police officer Vernon Jones testified three days later, that at the crimescene Singletary had inquired of him what had transpired and said that he not witnessed any shooting other than hearing some shots that he thought were firecrackers. William Harmon, a pimp in 1981 with convictions for forgery, fraud and theft by deception, testified that he had seen a man other than Abu-Jamal execute Faulkner and flee in a car which pulled up at the crimescene.[59] Court stenographer Terri Maurer-Carter stated in an affidavit of August 2001 that the presiding Judge had exclaimed, “Yeah, and I’m going to help them fry the *****”, in the course of a conversation regarding Abu-Jamal’s case. Judge Sabo denied making such a comment. Kenneth Pate, a step-brother of Priscilla Durham with a history of imprisonment, swore a declaration that he asked her in a telephone conversation whether she had heard Abu-Jamal confess and that she had answered, “All I heard him say was: ‘Get off me, get off me, they’re trying to kill me’”. Pate reported that the conversation to Abu-Jamal while they were serving in the same prison.

    In corroboration of the four prosecution eyewitnesses, Robert Harkins testified on August 2, 1995, that he had witnessed a man stand over Faulkner as the latter lay wounded on the ground, who shot him point-blank in the face and who then “walked and sat down on the curb”.

    Sun Goddess

    From Wikipedia.org:

    The jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict after three hours of deliberations.

    Abu-Jamal was subsequently sentenced to death by the unanimous decision of his jury. The date of the sentence is recorded as May 25, 1983.Judicial execution in Pennsylvania is by means of lethal injection and would occur at the State Correctional Institution – Rockview.

    Now, I’m sorry if the posts are lengthy, but I feel that folks need to realize the true behind this case. this is the reason the state of appeals are needed. You have a bunch a shady ‘law enforcement agents’ all over the country who have placed black men and women in prison for crimes they didn’t commit! And, things like this are STILL taking place! The true criminals are all the people who helped send this man to prison! They should be in prison! A strong black man in his community is an *****et, and racist government and police officers KNOW THIS, and try to SILENCE THE BLACK MAN! STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW!

    FRY MUMIA DIE DIE MUMIA

    nahnah

    It’s a sad day in America when the majority of black folks don’t know their history. Let this thread be about Beyonce and Jay Z, and we all know about them…

    Mumia was a former Black Panther – and he was targeted and followed by the F.B.I since he was a teenager (15 yrs old). And he NEVER received a fair trial.

    Like Huey Newton (Defense Minister of the Panthers)and Asatta Shakur, he was accused of cop killing…

    Do we not see the pattern here? Why were all these Prominent Black Panthers accused of murdering Law Enforcement Officers? Or were they all silenced for their dissenting voices?

    Lovely and Amazing

    How dare these psycopaths protest a grieving widow!!! People have to know that not all black people are stupid enough to waste their time standing up for a murderer of a husband and father. Mumia is not a hero, not a political prisoner, not a role model. Are they kidding? Remember black punks like Mumia kill black police officers, husbands and fathers too. Protesting a grieving widow is sick!!! Today should not give airtime so they could flash their Mumia t-shirts and tell lies to defend a murderer on TV!! My condolences to the Faulkner family.

    Sun Goddess

    I agree one million percent, nahnah! It’s the murder of strong black men and women standing up for their people! I wag my fingers and shake my head at the injustice! They will answer to their crimes…..

    Lovely and Amazing, you’re as ignorant as they come, hun. A coon in the making.

    When looking at the direction a good amount of our young black men are taking, we can look back at the Black Panthers who were socially responsible young black men who were killed off, literally and figuratively, by the J Edgar Hoover, who described them as “the greatest threat to internal security of the country” simply for sacrificing for the betterment of our people.

    They were not the thug and pimp ideology that we so love to worship today.

    - The Black Panthers were NOT seperatists, as their most important allies was the Peace and Freedom Party, which consisted mostly of whites.

    - The Black Panthers were responsible for feeding a total of 10,000 poor black chidren on a daily basis.

    - The Black Panthers were responsible for providing free medical *****istance to thousands of blacks across America.

    - The Black Panthers were responsible for helping to keep our kids off of drugs.

    Black Child’s Pledge

    -I pledge allegiance to my Black People.

    - I pledge to develop my mind and body to the greatest extent possible.

    - I will learn all that I can in order to give my best to my People in their struggle for liberation.

    - I will keep myself physically fit, building a strong body free from drugs and other substances which weaken me and make me less capable of protecting myself, my family and my Black brothers and sisters.

    - I will unselfishly share my knowledge and understanding with them in order to bring about change more quickly.

    - I will discipline myself to direct my energies thoughtfully and constructively rather than wasting them in idle hatred.

    - I will train myself never to hurt or allow others to harm my Black brothers and sisters for I recognize

    that we need every Black Man, Woman, and Child to be physically, mentally and psychologically strong.

    - These principles I pledge to practice daily and to teach them to others in order to unite my People.

    Lovely and Amazing

    So a black person is a coon in the making for NOT celebrating a convicted murderer?!! A coon for NOT protesting a grieving widow?!! I call that humane, decent, respectable, God-fearing, not coon. Mumia is not a role model for young people. Admiring murderers is why the black community is in the state it is in. Last year two black teens took a black police officer husband father away from his black wife and children. Where was the parade and rally honoring the memory of that black man? Bet you made t-shirts and cheered the black teens who killed the black police officer too! Guess his wife and kids are coons too for grieving! It is just plain twisted and sick to protest a grieving widow.

    Sun Goddess

    With all due respect, lovely and amazing, I think you simply do not know what the ***** you are talking about. You need to research this case and get both sides cause most of what you are saying is from ignorance. No one is criticizing the victim’s family-but the people who prosecuted him. Once again, you don’t know what the ***** you are talking about. You do not even know a *****ing thing about Abu-Jamal.

    You better tell the truth, black queen!

    “…a convicted murderer”….????

    there were NO witnesses!!!! there were too many conflicting reports about who shot the officer…(we don’t know if it was Mumia, his brother or a contract killer)

    the police charged Mumia & he was convicted all because the officers at the scene found the gun next to his body???? what tha hell?? that doesn’t mean anything!! just because he’s sitting in jail doesn’t mean he’s the right guy…the police f*ck up too (especially back then)

    so stop throwing stones ’cause NO ONE knows the TRUTH about what happened 26 years ago…if it didn’t come out then, it sure as hell aint comin’ out now!!

    Nope, you’re a COON for voluntarily allowing yourself to remain ignorant, while supporting white supremacy and the silencing of humanitarians…

    Mumia wasn’t a black man running the streets, selling dope, and pimping hoes.

    He was the Minister of Information of the Black Panther’s Party in Philly. He co-founded and was president(until the incident) of the Philadelphia *****ociation of Black Journalists.

    He often wrote against war agression, poverty, drugs, and other social ills in America.

    He wasn’t just another black man, as the FBI had several hundreds of pages of files on him, from the time he was 15 yeas old. He was an FBI target and was obviously set up.

    HE NEVER RECEIVED A FAIR TRIAL, AND EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM WERE FABRICATED.

    Like *****ata Shakur and other Black Panther Activists, he was set up by the F.B.I.

    Your intellectual laziness makes you a double, triple, quadruple COON. You have allowed yourself to wallow in your cocoon of willfull ignorance, and for that, you’re a (shall I say it again?) COON.

    I advise you to stay away from FoxNewsCNNABCNBC and do some indpendent research in order to understand and acknowledge the truth.

    America has a long history of silencing dissent.

    Do research on COINTELPRO – and there you’ll better understand this situation.

    There’s hope, my dear. And I believe you can escape this coonish mentality.

    The American government knew the change the Black Panther Party could have made in the black community. In fact, America was slowly but surely starting to feel the change, which became a threat to the white supremacist estbablishment.

    How dare people of African decent love one another? And how dare blacks and whites stand together in harmony? The BPP had white allies all over the place, nationally and internationally, and that was a threat to racists everywhere.

    The BPP was feeding black kids.

    The BPP was providing black kids with African Education.

    The BPP was feeding the black mind with anti-drug messages.

    The BPP was feeding the black mind with self esteem and confidence.

    The BPP was feeding the black mind with love for all people, not just blacks.

    Asians marched with the BPP.

    Whites, including the late Marlon Brando, marched with the BPP.

    Hispanics marched with the BPP.

    Mumia Abdul-Jamal was a member of the BPP, and he was influencing the minds of Philadelphians and people everywhere – and he became a target. An FBI operative murdered that woman’s husband, and placed the blame on Abdul-Jamal in an attempt to silence his messages. They did that with *****ata Shakur and Huey Newton.

    It’s a fact that a good majority of Mumia’s supporters are WHITE. While many blacks know little to nothing of him.

    Constance

    I don’t know if he is guilty or not. I don’t think they she protest his wife though. She has a right to express her feelings. She lost her husband. They should just put thier side of the story out.

    Ms.Jae

    Black people really need to brush up on their history.I say that because I’m black.If you dont know who this man is you need to do some research on Black history instead of trying to find out which celebrity did what.This man has been sitting on death row for the longest and no he did not have a fair trial, especially back then.Look at Jena 6.Its 2007 and those boys are not getting a fair trial. I recommend ya’ll start googling some ***** to find out about your people, and try reading some books like *****ata Shakur’s autobiography!!!!

    i love...'Snickers'

    They’re NOT protesting his wife, they just want their share of air time since she’s getting hers by promoting her book, which I’m sure is only her side of the story and what she thinks happened…………

    people always *****ume that what they see on the news is the “gospel”, they only tell you what they want you to know…start taking it a step further & educate yourself!! and stop letting people give you your opinion.

    If there is a coalition of Mumia’s supporters, SOMETHING must be going down don’t you think?

    To reiterate what nahnah and some others were saying–he was a Black Panther Party member and they were out to get him from the start. There are no credible witnesses.

    To call Mumia supporters psychopaths truly shows your ignorance!

    And they are not protesting a grieving widow, idiot.

    But you know what. Keep dwelling in your ignorance, and consume all the lies you want.

    Ignorance is bliss, right?

    Malaika

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you nahnah!

    I just finished reading the rest of your thread.

    EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T KNOW A THING ABOUT THIS CASE, BUT FEELS COMPELLED TO COMMENT ON IT FOR SOME STUPID REASON:

    READ WHAT NAHNAH WROTE!

    Then do your own research, not only about Mumia but about the Black Panther Party.

    Happy_Chick

    Thats real talk Ms Jae! Mumia’s story has been around for decades. Our history seems to be getting more lost as each day p*****es. I am just amazed that a lot of folks here do not know who he is and what his case is about. I am even more sh*****ed that Bossip would report on it… glad they did.

    Free Mumia!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i love...'Snickers'

    DaTruth

    Actually,

    Mumia was convicted of the crime by an all white jury. He was a journalist at the time and every one knows that Philly has a long standing RACIST police department. He took the fall. There are witnesses that stated it was a cop who murdered DF. Ask around Philly it is really white versus the black. There are many supporters of Mumia, they had a very big debate when DF wife went at Ozzie Davis who recieved the marion anderson award because he too knows that this man did not get a fair trial. Old Rizzo/white judicial system will not allow for her to get a fair trial. Justice in AmeriKKKa is still the same when it comes to us AA. Free Mumia!!!

    It’s understood-given the historical context of Black People being thrown into jail for the flimsiest of reasons-that people who believe Mumia Is innocent have an almost religious zeal about seeing him free.

    I take issue with those who would label someone who has a different opinion as being a COON… or a SELLOUT…or an UNCLE TOM.Enough with the “BLACKER THAN THOU” *****.There are people out there in the everyday practice of law…MANY OF THEM BLACK…MANY OF THEM OF THE OPINION THAT HE’S GUILTY.I had a coupla’ uncles who were in the BPP who have taken OPPOSITE SIDES on this.The fact that White celebrities have taken Mumias’ cause up means nothing.Some of these same White celebrities think HUGO CHAVEZ is a savior.Clearly some of the posters on this thread have followed the story rather intensely.There must be a good handful of privately funded “INNOCENCE PROJECTS” out there.Besides Mumias’ foundation-which of these other orgs.has stepped up to defend him?

    Unfortunately, any time someone disagrees they are bashed and accused of living under white supremacy, being brainwashed, or a white worshipper. Some ppl can’t deal with the fact that not everyone is going to agree with everything they say and are too immature to understand that it’s not an attack on them personally.

    Dr. Funk,

    I certainly welcome your opinions. If you or anyone else have an opinion on a certain issue, I would *****ume it to be based on your personal research, and that you would be able to back it up with sources.

    But if you want to formulate an opinion based on a person allegedly being a ‘convicted felon’, then you are, by any means, a COON. An ignorant fool with with know knowledge of history.

    Again, I welcome an elaboration of your opinion.

    Malaika

    Thank you WeSSide Eviscer8r.

    I would LOVE for Dr. Funk and AND… to tell us a little bit about what they know.

    Yes, you should be called a COON when you come on here spouting strong opinions about something you know nothing about! Especially when you have such strong, negative opinions about a humanitarian who had no criminal record, and was actively making the world a better place for people. Oh yeah, black people.

    *****ody said anything about Sellout or Uncle Tom though…sounds like you’re a little bitter about something…?!

    And this is not really a matter of opinion. An opinion is like, what color do you like better blue or red? That’s an opinion.

    An opinion based on false information and little knowledge about the case is pure IGNORANCE.

    And it’s embarr*****ing that people even feel secure enough to come on here and slander someone’s name.

    Mumia supporters are not protesting against the Faulkners, so why do others feel the need to speak badly about a wrongly convicted man who’s done so much for his community???

Look how much we fight and put each other down.

    P.S. Ain’t ***** said on this site gonna get his ***** out of jail and if you are soooo worried about his innocence and getting him out go join the protesters in the pic, write your governor, or donate some money but stop *****ING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S “OPINIONS”.

    In order to get my point across I have to sound a little aggressive now, don’t I? ;)

    mslively6

    i understand that Officer Faulkner’s wife has been justifiably bitter and hurt over the loss of her husband; however, i take offense to her statement that he has “been on death row acting like some superstar or political prisoner”. Mumia IS a political prisoner. period. i’ve been an avid supporter of Mumia ever since i learned of him and his situation 5 years ago. i know that many people aren’t aware of who he is and what he stands for (do your homework black people), but the bottom line is this: he has been falsely accused and has been on death row for a crime he didn’t commit for my ENTIRE life. i have nothing but the utmost respect for who and what he is to the African American community – not only what he is but who he could be once he’s free.

    i will continue to rally for the freedom of a most brilliant and powerful man – one whose voice speaks TRUTH. the real truth. and it’s for that reason that the racist pigs of Philadelphia along with the rest of the judicial system and all other anti-Mumia individuals (white and black) want to see Mumia spend the rest of his life in that cage.

    FREEDOM for MUMIA!

    peace & love.

    Oh, and AND..I am doing exactly what you suggested in your nice little P.S. section. And I’m sure nahnah and some others are too.

    So thanks for that.

    If you go back and read the threads, you’ll see that a lot of what is posted is real information about Mumia’s case and about the Black Panther Party.

    If you really think the reason why “other races look down upon blacks” is because we fight and put each other down (uh..ok..)—then maybe you shouldn’t be on here propagating that stereotype!

    Or maybe, you should be sharing some words of peace and love to your black brothers and sisters…right?

    Interesting story!..I just read it before I comment on it…I think what really hurt him was that he was a *****ociated with the black panthers..the system misunderstood their purpose..anybody who is trying to create a revolution that’s going to change the minds of amerincan citizens is going to be a problem..there are always two sides of every story..however I don’t think he did it…it wasn’t enough info to prove that he did it..the white cops set him up big time..I hope this brotha get free

    Do you really think that they did not know what the black panthers were about…They were about the uplifting of their people and they were not step n fetch blacks, in philly on Broad & Columbia n front of the Marcus Garvey center, Rizzo and the rest of the White Police dept stripped the BBP down to their drawers, sprayed them with water, on live local television. When Rizzo died(former mob mayor without a high school diploma)they drove his body down broad street and when it reached north philly they threw things at the casket. They(white Philadelphia) erected a statue across from city hall of him, consequently its kinda a funny because birds ***** on it all day(racist mother^$^%), so I guess I deal with it… But I digress, J. Edgar Hoover(and his cross dressing a$$) sought to destroy all of our Black Leaders because they felt it threatened the “AmeriKKKan” way of life. Anytime the CIA can bring in drugs and EVERYONE(LAW & CITIZENS) know this and they still have not been brought up on charges, then my understanding of the justice system(especially in Philadelphia) is stay far away from YT, the PhilaCops, and anything to do with city hall but Vote in every election just to ***** with them(I am always the first to arrive at the poll place, taking pic with my phone and everything…(freaks YT out).

    Anyhoo, just thought I mention, in the last mayoral campaign, John Street’s opponent ran a TV ad showing John Street and his brother Milton in city hall BROAD STREET BRAWLING with RIZZO’s hit squad aka the philly nocko’s, whipping tail. Black who were not even for Street saw that video(brought back all the dirt that the Philly nockos did) and voted that dude in..cause if he could stand up to Rizzo and his goons..hell the BPP is still present!

    However I’m saying the legal system misunderstood their purpose…they felt that they were militant rebellious black people…when all they wanted was justice for blacks..why you think they try so hard to capture people who are *****ociated with the Black Panther’s??? I love what they did! Despite what they think it appears negative to some but they had to with they had to do..if being forceful going against the legal system is necessary for black to get what we need then so be it..all blacks and other minorities want is justice and equality is that so hard to ask for? Rich white men ain’t gone let that happen because they want superiority and power over all of us

    This case is well known to me.

    His stardom I think in part stems from the varied and inconclusive accounts that happened that day.

    Only a few know and they haven’t talked in all this time.

    I don’t think he’s asked to be this celebrity although I understand her bitterness about it all.

    It’s always been a controversial and testy case.

    P*****ionate people on both sides, for sure.

    Texas murderer YT stay out the discussion, because you obviously know nothing about the case!

    How much do YOU know about the case, apart from the lies and propaganda his supporters have been putting out there?

    I guess you think somebody else happened to grab Mumia’s gun and shoot the cop huh ?

    The bullet that the doctors removed from Abu Jamal chest came from Officer Faulkner’s gun. The bullet in Faulkner’s brain came from Abu Jamal’s gun, which had five empty cartridges when investigators found it. All the relevant facts of the case are detailed on http://www.danielfaulkner.com.

    I feel for the wife of the officer, but police will cover-up, lie, and do what needs to be done to cover their *****. This is a fact. Aint no tellin what really happended that night. The police need to be policed.

    by the Mainstream Media

    Datruth

    It is quite obvious u r not Black nor are you aware of the Rizzo administration. No propaganda. If they wanted you to be guilty you were guilty. Actually your propaganda is quite contrite, considering how Facts in Philadelphia are based and were based solely on who was involved. There are witnesses to Abu Jamal’s case, why do you think they will not grant him a new trial. That was not a jury of his peers, and he was convicted based on FICTION. PURE FICTION, What you need to do is check those involved in the case, the names, dates etc. If the case was so clear cut, they would not be afraid to give him another trial. Growing up in Philadelphia for the past 30 years, knowing all the ins and outs of the Phila nockos, I seriously doubt you are Black. I have yet to meet one Black person including those who worked for the city make the statements you have….its okay to be white and be on this board, but keep the Texas nooses for innocent men to a minimum.

    I also seriously doubt your intentions(are you related to one of case?)Either way you could post that website all day long, and WE still know the truth about the inter-workings of the Rizzo administration, all of your irrelevant info does not add up. If Daniel Faulkner was a ***** use by crooked police to take down Mumia(WHO WAS SET UP) it remains sad, but the truth is, he was not there, but the COPS were, the witnesses were coerced and those the BPP was demolished(so they believe..)

    IBW-Ideal Black Woman

    I watched an interview with Dr. Mumia on Democracy Now (my only liable source of news) and learned of his great works and why he is in prison. I agree with Nahnah, Malaika and others, this man was treated unfairly by the justice system. Even Dr. Eric Dyson talks about him and I like Dr. Dyson cuz that man is da Truth. People who do not know anything about the case or the individual should stop spreading their ignorance because it is making you look a damn fool. I’m not even American and I took up the chance to learn about Mumia, Stokely, the intelligent Fred Hampton (RIP) and it saddens me that some blacks do not even know who this man is or about his case.

    nahnah

    Yes, R.I.P Fred Hampton. His case was particularly sad.

    My, if only more of us knew our history. And if only more of us would follow those great black men who were dedicated to positivity. Instead, the Jay Z’s and 50 cents of the world are the idols for our young black men.

    @Da Truth

    First of all you prove yourself to be a dumbazz by this simple statement that “its quite obvious” that I am not black. (?). Really? Well, I don’t have to prove my blackness to ignoramuses like you, since I have nothing to prove.

    But on what basis do you say it is “obvious” that someone is not black when they tell you point blank that they ARE?! Just by that, you show yourself to be a simpleminded fool … I dont like to waste my time with closedminded idiots like yourself.

    I think you need to fall back, son. The only thing that’s “QUITE OBVIOUS” here is that even on your best day you cant match me on an intellectual level… but you’re out here on some website fronting like you’re so full of wisdom and knowledge. ***** please.

    Still, the fact is, idiots like you will always jump on the bandwagon when a brotha commits a crime, and you think any black person who believes the person is guilty is “obviUosly” not black , or maybe not ‘black enough’, just because they believe the brotha is guilty of the crime.

    Fact is, there is a lot of misinformation, propaganda, exaggerations in this case, probably on both sides. But some facts are simple facts. I notice you didnt attack me on the facts of this case.

    So I ask you AGAIN… do you believe someone else stole Mumia’s gun, shot the cop, and left it beside him when mumia was found at the scene? Explain that to me.

    It is a fact that Mumia had a gun.

    it is s fact that the bullets that shot the cop matched mumias gun.

    It is a fact that there were 5 spent casings found in Mumia’s gun when he was found at the scene.

    Its a fact that Mumia was shot by the cop’s gun (the bullet matched the cop’s gun), whicch support’s eyewitness testimony that the cop let of a shot in the gun battle with Mumia and shot him….

    Is a fact that Mumia has never gone on record denying he shot the cop. (he has fools like you to do it for him)

    Did you even bother clicking the link I posted above, to an article by a leftist/liberal who has followed the case and feels Mumia is probably guilty?

    No, wait… facts dont matter to you. Just hype and propaganda. Ok. Never mind then. Just keep being in denial then. Its all good.

    I guess you think OJ’s still looking for the real killer. After all , he was set up by the white man too, wasn’t he ?

    So go ahead, spend your time defending a murderer. Mumia’s going to rot in jail anyway, as he should. Small minded people like you, with your continual victim mentality, and conspiracy-theory mentality, are why “our people” just cant progress.

    And yes, when I say “our people” , I mean black people, dumbazz.

    (Dont even bother responding to me on this, by the way. I’m done wasting my time with u.) One.

    Shootingstar

    I wish we (black people) would use our resources more wisely. Instead of dealing with the school funding issue, AIDS, or the state of the black community we ***** our time/energy/efforts into a black hole defending a convicted murderer.

    Even if he didn’t commit murderer he is guilty of being a dumb ***** and putting himself in a suspect position, a luxury black men don’t have.

    Lovely and Amazing

    The Mumia movement is a ***** of white liberal agenda. You are actually the coon brainwashed and distracted by standing up for Mumia instead of standing up for the black children left fatherless by the bullets of black male murderes like Mumia, namely the children of Malcom X, black police officers and most recently Sean Taylor. Just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton publically disrespecting Barack Obama but smiling in Bill Clinton’s face. You are actually the coon.

    Sweetheart, u do not have to spell out anything to me.

    i could give a rats azz with what race u identify or

    are down with. i think the african slave trade was

    more of an inside job than anything else. get to that,

    nickle. instead of pushing YTz rhetoric u need to

    understand that their are more holes in the case

    against mumia than are in the dead cop u side with…

    for instance, ballistic experts have never matched any

    of the bullets found in that dead cops body or

    anywhere else on the scene to the gun that ALLEGEDY

    belonged to Mumia. moreover, the bullets found were

    .44 whereas the bullets that ALLEGEDLY belonged to

    Mumia were .38s. that alone, for me, provides enough

    ammo (pun attended) to use against those racists and

    ijiuts who feel Mumia has been treated fairly.

    in fact, as i consider myself more knowledgeable on

    the fuccn inaccuracies involved in *****atas case, let

    me give anyone caring another site that can clear

    up any confusion u r offering regarding mumia.

    Where’s the rally and support for the black children of Busta Rhymes murdered bodyguard? Where was the rally and support and mentorship for Malcolm X’s grandson? Where are the rallies and suuport for the children of murdered black police officers? This is what I’m saying. These Mumia activists are self serving and if you have met any of them you’d see how arrogant and RACIST a lot of them are. They could give an eff about the every day black person and attach themselves to this Mumia cause to build themselves up, give themselves a sense of purpose.It is all t-shirts, buttons, getting on tv, and publishing books. The truth is Black Nationalism is an ideology that did not and does not work. Read Huey Newton’s most recent works befote his death. Read how these men were personally conflicted because they could not reconcile the ridiculous expectations of them from their own narrow-minded communities. Read how they were not immune to greed and back stabbing and this aws not “the white man’s fault”, this was human frailty. Munia should have been out feeding hungry children or mentoring at risk black youth on the day he was engaged in a shoot out. One’s own superhero image making and ego will be one’s own downfall. And that is what happened to the black and latin movements of the past and today. But liberals love to build up black rage and ego and reward black folks for stupidity. You don’t see Bill Clinton engaged in a shoot out. You don’t see these rich liberal white kids running this Mumia sham engaged in shootouts. Getting arrested is a game for them. In ten years they’ll move to the suburbs like their parents and Mumia will still be on death row for being a misguided and mislead ***** of so called progreesive politics. Wake up people. Wake up. Teach young people new methodologies for empowerment other than shooting and ***** kicking. People, the Jena 6 would have been so powerful had they not *****aulted with fists and instead from the get brought the world down to Jena, LA and protested the nooses. Could you have imagined if they had used you tube and letter writing instead of their fists. Every liberal celebrity in the world would have been all over Jena and these boys would have book deals and college scholarships instead of criminial records. Stop playing right into your oppressors hands. Wake up people.

    Texas SOB.

    First, on a site that does not require real identity, you can say you are anything..Common Sense. U can tell me your black all day, does not mean that you are unless you post your true identity on this site, which I am sure you would not!. Second..I am no one’s son, ***** I am a BLACK WOMAN! Third, You and I can call each other everything under the book, but at the end of the Day with my Master’s degree and in my third year of my Counseling Psych PhD courses, dude your intellectual(anything) do not mean squat to me. Did some Black person do something to you that made you hate yourself? I support causes that are relevant to my upbringing. My family believed in Black is Beautiful, and Blacks supporting each other, especially when the LAW does not!

    At the end of the day, I will still believe that you are White, because you took such offense to it, it is very easy to portray yourself as something else on the Internet, but are you happy with you. You actually do not know who I am, many of these people on these boards are members of the families and some celebrities reading this crap.

    So Stay in Texas with your nooses, and leave the corrupt Philadelphia Judicial System to Us citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania! So my final note is that I hope Mumia is granted a new trial, I hope all parties involved in the Sean Bell, Jena 6, CIA/Drug Cartel, and other atrocities of the American Judicial System receive justice. In their innocence, I hope they remember that only GOD can truly judge them and that is all that matters.

    What I believe is what I have seen in my city. I believe that DF did see something he was not suppose too. I believe that because Mumia had written several articles on the the corruption within the Rizzo admin., he was set up and framed. All the Black panthers and anyone affiliated with them had weapons, U should know that…Just like all the witnesses where coerced to put him at the shooting. They caught him quickly because they were watching him, so what they stopped watching him and LET him shoot a cop? Get the Hell out of here…

    Why did his hand not have any gun powder, tell u what why don’t you go ask John street about the FACTS of the case. He had to get a law degree for the main reason that the Philly nockos kept locking him and his brother up for pure racist reasons.

    I am not a bandwagon person. I make my decision based on solely my own conclusions. The media does nothing but scrutinize anything that goes against the westernized way of thinking. The difference is Black people are powerful, and once they realize this power(as well as other “minorities”) realize that they are the majority, things will have to change. They are already alternating their appearance to the same features that they ridiculed us for years before…

    Reparations to me will never happen because YT does not admit to being wrong or inhumane. Of course we deserve them, but I would be satisfied with AA receiving free college tuition similar to what they did for Native Americans. If you achieve your forty acres and a mule, GOD has granted you favor and be thankful!

    But I digress, Texas whatever..maybe we are having this spat because of my indirect dislike of the Cowboys…but in essence since you are suppose to be a Black man…would you want our support if you were framed, do you believe in your justice system and government that much..Do you work for the government? FBI, CIA they do not believe in the Flag the way they claim. You show me an agent without a stash of protection, and I will show you a fall guy…

    So I believe I will leave you with an “agree to disagree” end to this cause I have papers to do…

    Da Truth

    Oh yeah I do not think OJ did, I did a report/presentation for my crimjus cl***** (with cops/Agents, lawyers) that his older son killed them, thats why nothing fit and the DNA matched..But that was my theory…and I got an A and many questions during my presentation so ponder…

    @ Sun Goddess

    ANYONE can write ANYTHING on Wikipedia!

    —————————————————

    @Bobblehead Star

    I realize that. I also realize that on Wikipedia, the resources that they used to talk abotu this case were from actual transcripts of the courts! You check you the links out yourself! You really check it out! All fo those FOOTNOTES are where the writers of that information retrieved their information. So, as far as I am concerned, Wikipedia.org is a reliable source. I think even the website for Faunkler supporters is on that page, too. So, now what?

    Lovely and Amazing

    Mumia is a guilty cop killer, sick rich hippie liberal kids have the nerve to protest a widow writing a book about the murder of her husband by Mumia, and a coon is a black person who doesn’t celebrate murder. No wonder those three black boys killed Sean Taylor and no wonder the Jena 6 used their fists instead of their minds. Because these are the values celebrated by the so called black experts and leaders on the Bossip message board. I see your kids will be kicking in doors and killing Sean Taylors of the future. And then you all will have something to do, fun rallies and protests for degenrates and disgraces to black community forever!

    Sun Goddess

    Lovely! You are so facetious! And irrelevant! The wife of the cop is NOT THE FOCAL POINT OF THE PROTEST! THe fact that Mumia was wrongly convicted IS! How hard it that for you to get through your head?! Another thing: you do not know anything about black people to conclude a damn thing about our values! If you feel that we are “degenrates and disgraces to black community”, then why are you even on this website? You need to take your racist rhetoric and shove it where the sun don’t shine!

    Sun Goddess….U rock. Big time.

    As for u pus infested half-wits that futilely try to turn folks against Mumia and what he stands for…go somewhere else. go somewhere where the majority of people there have not been victimized by racism. Comin’ up in this beyatch with ur two-tongue snake talk. The net is interactive, alright, but not interactive enuf when trash like Texas Doodoo and Lovely And Amazing-NOT need to be taken outside. You really stink up the place. FREE MUMIA! HANDS OFF *****ATA and while I do not condone what OJ may or may not have done to his baby mama, I UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!! Get to that!!!!!

    lovelyandamazing

    Blacks killed Malcolm X. Am I making that up? Texas Dude and I are 100% right! Mumia is a murderer and you support murderers instead of decent upstanding African-Americans because you think its hip cool gangsta true hip hop oh, and the other fave keepin it reals. Give me a break. Frederick Douglas and Ida B Wells are turning in their graves at your stupidity. Mumia’s laughing at you too all the way to the bank. He knows he’s guilty and uses this so called Free Mumia crap for his own gain and purposes. I heard he enjoys being a superstar. How loving of him to let people children get arrested in his name. Yeah, he’s a real caring and loving killer. Ask yourself, why did Mumia have gun on him anyway? Oh, yeah, I forgot, he was on his way to Bible cl***** because he’s such a good person.

    *****ata Shakur enjoys freedom while the unarmed BLACK men with her on the day SHE SHOT police officers sit in jail scapegoated for her crimes. If she had any sense of honor she would exchange her freedom, do her time in exchange for her “brothas” freedom. She could not care less about her “brothas” while she frolicks through the sugar cane fields of Cuba living off book sales and enjoying superstar status. Next she’ll put out a hip hop record and win an MTV video award.
