Souind bizarre -- do you have details?

Pff. The gay, socialist mayor of Paris made Mumia Adbu Jamal (spelling?)
an
honorary citizen.

Correct spelling is Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Seems to me he was making a point against the death penalty and
against perceived miscarriages of justice in the USA.


Absolutely, but as someone here said previously, we might as well start by
helping the innocent convicts on death-row. Even better, we could focus on
making our judicial system better than it is today.
The Paris city council is pretty critised since the socialist/green
coalition won the elections 2 years ago.
Then again, sollciting MAJ isn't like helping nazis out of Germany.
Some people here should try to relax!
PHB

And those of us here in the States ask why folks in Europe seem to like
cop-killers. This guy in PA has lost every appeal of his case. Only the fact
that he's some intellectual behind bars blinds people to the fact that until
a proper court overturns the verdict and sentence, he's a convicted cop-killer
who fully deserves the needle. Unfortunately, other options for his execution
are considered cruel and unusual punishment-they should bring Old Sparky
out of retirement or build a new gallows for those on Death Row.

My understanding is that some people think he is innocent.

It is my understanding that large numbers of people think that
UFOs are manned by space aliens, that Elvis is alive or that
72 virgins await them in heaven for dying while killing westerners.

I suggest that "some people think" is poor support.
