Ma'am;...Killing police officers may have lost its dazzle for the left; but it has not lost its charm for everyone... People on the right who are being primed by the republicans for insurrection, and poor people all over who have to suffer a lot of indignity to work and must now suffer a lot of indignity to starve; and the fear of the endless indignity of prison for anyone with a choice -holds no charm at all...I think it is great that people are fighting back, and it is stupid and unncessary too...It is preferable to laying down, and letting your society run right over you, and that is all...Who knows why Mumia killed... Who knows why anyone kills... The thing is, that the indignity, the insult and the injury that used to be reserved for blacks is now being visited on the entire working class, and that is bitter medicine for the hillbilly whites...I guess; it is bitter for all human beings, but only easier to bear when only blacks had to suffer it... But things will never change until we all have to be in the same life boat together...Thanks...Sweeney
