France Names Street After Mumia Abu-Jamal
POSTED: 11:13 am EDT May 16, 2006 UPDATED: 11:24 am EDT May 16, 2006 A street in a Paris suburb has been named in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of the 1981 murder of a Philadelphia police officer.
The Abu-Jamal has been a lightening rod for controversy here for two decades.
"In France, they see him as a towering figure," said Suzanne Ross, co-chair of the Free Mumia Coalition of New York City, who was part of an April 29 ceremony to dedicate the Rue Mumia Abu-Jamal in the city of St. Denis.
Abu-Jamal, a former radio reporter and member of the Black Panther party, was sentenced to death in 1982 for the shooting of 25-year-old Daniel Faulkner.
He has maintained his innocence.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year agreed to consider three counts of Abu-Jamal's appeal: allegations that there was racial bias in jury selection, that the prosecutor gave an improper summation and that a judge in a previous appeal was biased.

Next it will be "Mossaoui Street"
I namd the place in my yard where the dog likes to crap.....Paris!
Do the Frogs revere Jamal because they believe him to be innocent or do they revere him because they know he did the deed?
They'd do anything to any someone.

Welcome to France, where Cop Killers are god.
I think we should pull all our troops out of France, and then Germany. Then, as we turn off the lights, we should tell the Germans that
a) The French hate beer,
b) The French think German wines are swill,
c) The French consider the Germans to be without honor, and
d) The US will never come back to France's aid ever again, no matter whose troops are folling up the Champs d'Ellyse.
But that's just me.
Fry Mumia.
Goodbye, France.
Did they name the street "La Rue de Wesley Cook"? Or was it "Rue d' Murdering Cop-Killing Scumbag"? "Vie du Worthless Piece of Gutter Trash"?
I hope the Moslems in France keep having lots and lots of babies. Destroy that sorry nation from within.
Rue Merde?
The namers of this street are sycophantic fatuous fools. They buy time with those who must literally and I mean literally, hate French people. Not even the contempt by certain groups , which might keep to non- interference can exist permanently. Violence bought off, will keep coming.
Meanwhile WESLEY COOK (real name) is rotting in jail. Today we might remember quietly. Officer Daniel Faulkner . He was 25 years old when senselessly cut down.
Fry Mumia!
So the Louvre is now at the corner of Rue Mumia and Rue Jerry Lewis?
We have no troops in France....haven't had any there for decades.
I thought we still had a few there... but, let's antagonize Germany, leave, and let history repeat itself.
What did they name it, "Cop Killer Sewer"?
