Thank God for all the brothers and sisters of all colors who take the time, effort -money and energy to keep this brother from being murdered by the U.S. government.
After Johnnies death..something must have happened, I thought I had read that he was successful in winning an appeal, I thought it meant a dismissal ..back again, in Philly, with all those cop killings?
