Once again it seems that the (il)legal system wants to avoid hearing the truth, just as so many of the public do, yet if the truthseeker listens to the black community, they will hear enough stories of injustice, outright harassement and persecution by the state, that any faith they may have in the impartiality of the police force,
legal system (and news media) must be severely shaken..... does not that word say it all-force...check further the story of Move9, the stories of other black panthers like Veronza Bowers, still held in a Florida jail despite having finished his sentance. Did 'Vanity fair' ever report his story? Time to start listening to the 'Voice of the voiceless' and less to the mouthpieces of this wicked system which causes so much pain and misery among the poor and defenceless in our societies. Free Mumia! Free Move 9!and Veronza Bowers! check out the Jericho Movement for more info on the many others held for outrageously long times in the USA, the very people who could be helping the wider community to combat the devils of violence,drugs and corruption that threaten the future of all our youth....let light and love triumph and the prisoners prayers be heard...so too may this light comfort all the families of victims of violence.
