Hilton Bounced Back To Jail

Hilton Bounced Back to Jail

Well the media circus is stewing in regard to Paris Hilton. Hilton was released from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department a little early than speculated. She was supposed to serve at least twenty-three days in County jail upon order of a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge for violating her probation...One mo' again for those who think she got forty something days for drunk driving. She violated her probation for drunk driving and reckless driving almost three years ago. Earlier this year, she was arrested for drunk driving and driving without a license. So lets squash the theory forty something days for DUI.
But this isn't the commentary. Once again, Co-Race Baitor Alfred Sharpton feels the need to express the anger of the black peoples of America over this woman's early release and made it race and class issue. This is the same Sharpton who once proclaimed that OJ is home, but Mumia Abu Jamal is still locked up. This is the same Mumia Abu Jamal who was on death row for killing a Philedelphia police officer. Now Sharpton is coming to Los Angeles to demand justice for us blackfolk by expressing for some black folk who can't express these thoughts because they are oppressed. One quick question for Sharples, what about justice for Officer Faulkner's family. Abu-Jamal should be in "findagrave" right next to Tookie Williams by now!
And Paris, girl get a hold of yourself. Remember the "entertainment tonight" segment that showcased you along with your water hose thick side kick, Nicole Richie, saying that you were seeking to get some "street cred." Now woman-up and cut out all that crying and clean your nose. I understand you're scared, but guess what? In that same jail, there is someone who is spending the night in jail for their very first time and they're scared too! Unfortunately, they don't have that extra clout to get them a cell by themselves. Which brings me to this....You screaming out "Mom! and this isn't right," is puzzling. And I have a question, It isn't right? are you saying that it isn't right for you? but someone who violated their probation in the same manner is fair game and should be locked up. And, consider this payback for your racial slurs back in February of this year....

Mumia Abu-Jamals crime:
On December 9, 1981, at approximately 3:55 a.m., Officer Danny Faulkner, a five year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, made a traffic stop at Locust Street near Twelfth Street. The car stopped by Officer Faulkner was being driven by William Cook. After making the stop, Danny called for assistance on his police radio and requested a police wagon to transport a prisoner. Unbeknownst to him, William Cook's brother, Wesley (aka Mumia Abu-Jamal) was across the street. As Danny attempted to handcuff William Cook, Mumia Abu-Jamal ran from across the street and shot the officer in the back. Danny turned and was able to fire one shot that struck Abu-Jamal in the chest; the wounded officer then fell to the pavement. Mumia Abu-Jamal stood over the downed officer and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Mumia Abu-Jamal was found still at the scene of the shooting by officers who arrived there within seconds. The murderer was slumped against the curb in front of his brother's car. In his possession was a .38 caliber revolver that records showed Mumia had purchased months earlier. The chamber of the gun had five spent cartridges. A cab driver, as well as other pedestrians, had witnessed the brutal slaying and identified Mumia Abu-Jamal as the killer both at the scene and during his trial. On July 2, 1982, after being tried before a jury of ten whites and two blacks, Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Officer Danny Faulkner. The next day, the jury sentenced him to death after deliberating for two hours. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard the defendant's appeals and upheld the conviction on March 6, 1989.
