CFT's support for Mumia abu-Jamal is abominable
Daniel Flynn at Human Events writes about how the California Teachers Federation has supported Mumia abu-Jamal, the murderer of policeman Daniel Faulkner in Philadelphia in the 1980s. They completely refuse to recognize that there were tons of witnesses who saw what abu-Jamal did:
The pantheon of leftist saints includes the Haymarket Square bombers, responsible for the deaths of eight Chicago cops, Joe Hill, murderer of former police officer John Morrison in Salt Lake City, Huey Newton, murderer of Oakland policeman John Frey, and Leonard Peltier, murderer of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Notice a pattern?What the CFT is doing is also obscene to Faulkner's own family, whom they've obscured as well. I would think there's room for a lawsuit against the CFT for lionizing a cop-murderer like abu-Jamal. And these are the people teaching the public's children in California? It's clear that their education system is completely corrupted, and needs to undergo considerable alterations.
Like the radical saints in whose footsteps he trod, Abu-Jamal is guilty. Numerous witnesses identified him as Faulkner’s killer. Police found Abu-Jamal, nursing a wound inflicted by his victim’s service revolver, sitting just a few feet from Faulkner’s body. By Abu-Jamal’s side was a gun, which he lunged for when a policeman approached, registered in his name and containing five spent shell casings of the same caliber as the bullets found in the slain policeman. Cops, a hospital worker, and a prison outreach activist sympathetic to Abu-Jamal’s politics heard admissions of guilt.
Eyewitnesses, ballistics, confessions—is it any wonder that a jury took just three hours to convict?
