German Academy of Arts Demands Freedom for Mumia Abu-Jamal

Victor Grossman, Political Affairs
The most prominent speaker was Danielle Mitterrand, widow of the former French president and a fighter against injustice since anti-apartheid struggle days. Recalling that a street in Paris is named for Mumia, an honored citizen of Paris, she denounced the death penalty in general and said, to loud applause: “Silencing Mumia would mean silencing 3000 people condemned to death in a land where the number of imprisoned people is breaking all records…The Americans do not deserve such barbarism!”

Smack A White Boy: Report Back - Oh YES we did!
Blame it on hypocrisy and a failure to understand that Americans are getting exactly what they asked for when they elected Barack Obama as the new president.
