I’m right there with you. I would gladly pull the lever or what ever it takes to execute this cop killer.
The g-ddamned sh!tbag CONFESSED after being rushed to the hospital right after killing the officer (the cop was able to wound Jamal before being killed).
Jamal launched a profanity-laced tirade stating he shot the cop and hoped he was dead—it was heard by witnesses, including hospital workers—this in addition to the other evidence of his guilt.
FRY MUMIA!
The Bruderhof are nuts. In the early 1970s, I lived with a Catholic Worker community (also pacifist in theory, although not everbody in the group was a pacifist and one didn’t have to be a pacifist to live there) that was not too far from the upstate NY (or maybe NJ) Bruderhof community. We visited them one time, and their politics were so extreme it made my group look slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun.
They were also very creepy, because when you ate you had to listen to the readings of the founder (whose name I have forgotten) and the founder or his wife and heirs had absolute control over everybody in the group. So it doesn’t surprise me that they’re over the edge on “Mumia.”
I met some Bruderhofers in Rochester, NY --- they were running a lit table at a talk I was giving on prolife. They were highly supportive of sexual purity (against homosexuality, contraception, fornication and divorce) and very friendly toward Catholic thought in general, although theologically strongly Anabaptist.
They had some young foster children with them who had multiple handicaps, including mental handicaps: these they treated with angeliic kindness. That always makes a deep impression on me.
Sweet loving people, as far as I could tell. And yet they blew me away with their political support --- not evangelical outreach or compassionate ministry specifically, but shoulder-to-shoulder political support --- for the most appalling killers and tyrants.
Such strange politics from people whose immediate forebears were radical anti-Nazis.
I think that’s always a problem with Protestantism in general. They don’t have anybody to tell them what is necessary for the faith and what, on the other hand, is just the peculiar belief of an individual, who may be very good in some areas and completely off the wall in others.
