The "Free Mumia" Movement Defies Simple Logic

I'm not not going to go into all the details about convicted murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal. If you aren't familiar with this famous case, read about it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal

This guy spawned a 3 decade movement based on his supposed innocence. There's now a movie out that tries to sympathize with this movement, just to keep the minions in a lather.

The only reason I'm even talking about this is because you have to put your brain on hold to think Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent.

Let's review the facts:

A Policeman was shot to death.

The murder weapon was right at the scene.

Ballistics examinations matched bullet fragments in the body to the murder weapon.

The murder weapon was registered to Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Abu-Jamal was wearing a shoulder holster.

The cop fired off a shot in self-defense. That shot hit Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Defenders of Mumia Abu-Jamal claim someone else shot the policeman with Mumia's gun and ran away. This belief is bolstered by the fact that forensic examiners didn't try to get any fingerprints off the murder weapon because they believed the prints would have been contaminated.

Nonetheless, you need to suspend common logic if think Abu-Jamal didn't do it.

If Mumia Abu-Jamal didn't shoot that cop, who grabbed his gun and fired it? You'd think that if a guy got close enough to grab your pistol from a shoulder holster, you wouldn't have any trouble identifying the thug.

Derrrrrr....

The fact that Mumia Abu-Jamal tried to defend himself in court and turned that trial into a circus only cements in my mind that he is guilty, and he isn't man enough to admit it, apologize for it, and take his lumps.

Daniel Faulkner was just a lower middle class guy who served his country in the Army, and his city as a policeman.

Daniel Faulkner didn't need to die. He was just doing his job. An angry activist killed him over a simple traffic violation. That is nothing but pure selfishness, not to mention extreme stupidity.

The sad fact is, Mumia Abu-Jamal got better than he deserves. He should be thankful that his death sentence was overturned on a mere technicality. The rest of the case is evident to anybody with a fully functioning brain.

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a killer who never apologized for his crime. His celebrity status is undeserved, and the people who maintain his innocence are in denial of irrefutable facts and simple logic. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through the silliness of the "Free Mumia" movement.

May Mr. Abu-Jamal enjoy his time at the Grey Bar Hilton.

'Nuff said.
