-Caveat Lector- .............................................................. Forwarded from the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: From: Ian Goddard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mumia & Role of Justice Date: Saturday, October 16, 1999 4:00 PM This site makes the cause against Mumia Abu- Jamal: http://danielfaulkner.com/splash.htm I have to say that the case presented there is supported by better documentation than the other side, which tends to rely on claims that one must take on faith. It seems that they show that Mumia's lawyer has made public claims that are badly out of context to the extent that the opposite may in fact be the truth. Claims made by the lawyer appear to be the backbone of most of the essays on Mumia's case. This is the main document that presents the case found there: http://www.danielfaulkner.com/Pages/Mumia.pdf It is nevertheless an outrage that witness Veronica Jones was arrested on the stand on charges unrelated to this issue when she said things that judge did not want to her to say. Such is the use of force to coerce a witness. The people who are outraged at Mumia and want this "COP KILLER" murdered as soon as possible do not demand retribution against the police that murdered 12 men, women, and children in their attack on MOVE. Police Commissioner Gregore Sambor testified that the first shots came from an automatic weapon, which MOVE members did not have. Police unloaded 10,000 rounds of ammunition into the city apartment from Uzis, shotguns, M-16s, .50-caliber machine guns, Browning semiautomatic rifles, and M-60 machineguns. [*] They finished off the job by dropping a bomb on the roof that ended up burning down an entire city block. How many cops are sitting on death row for that crime? So, if we assume that Mumia, a MOVE member, did kill Officer Faulkner, a member of the group that killed MOVE members, it could be argued that Mumia's worst crime is roughly comparable to the desire of people who want a revenge murder of Mumia. A cycle of revenge. Whatever the truth may be in this case, I hold to the concept that we do not teach people that killing people is wrong by killing people. The legal effort to kill Mumia has been an effort to effect a revenge killing and is not an effort to curtail social violence. In fact, that revenge killing will most assuredly lead to more social violence, to more revenge. The legal system needs to be the place where the cycle of violence and aggression ENDS, not the means of giving one side the upper hand. The side given the upper hand in the case of MOVE, Waco, and many others is the State and the murderous Storm Troopers of the State. ______________________________________________ [*] The Waco Before Waco, by Richard Poe: http://newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/9/22/85323 ------------------------------------------------------------ GODDARD'S JOURNAL: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/journal.htm ____________________________________________________________ Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.
