Why do you want Mumia to be spared, of all people?

Question

Last time I checked, he killed a cop. Why not pick up a worthier cause?

Answer 1

I don't want him spared. I hope that he rots in hell. What he did was cold blooded murder. For the uninformed, in the trial the prosecution successfully argued that the following events occurred: during the traffic stop, Cook assaulted Faulkner, who in turn attempted to subdue Cook. At this point, Abu-Jamal emerged from a nearby taxi which he was driving and shot Faulkner in the back. Faulkner was able to return fire, seriously wounding Abu-Jamal. Abu-Jamal then advanced on Faulkner, and fired four additional shots at close range, one of them striking Faulkner in the face, killing the policeman.

Answer 2

I do not believe in the death penalty and Mumia has to live with what he did, day in and day out.

Tookie never let go of his gangsta ways, but he tried to do good. The law executed him, but no one seems to be deterred by the death penalty. Why execute someone when they have to wait 20-30 years for the sentence to be carried out anyway.

Answer 3

He doesn't deserve to escape justice just because he is black..
