A Chicago miracle…
On the lam for 40 years, a cop-shooting Black Panther turns himself in…
Thanks to Barack H. Obama.
JWF discovered the latest Obama endorsement.
Obama-loving Black Panther gets only 30 days for shooting cop.
A former Black Panther Party member has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years’ probation for the 1969 shooting of a Chicago police officer.
Joseph Pannell spent years living in Canada, working as a researcher and raising a family under the name Gary Freeman.
In 1969 as a 19-year-old member of the militant group, Pannell shot Terrence Knox three times in the right arm, wounding him. Pannell was arrested after the shooting but he ran after being released on bail in the early 1970s. He spent years fighting his extradition until voluntarily returning to Chicago this month and pleading guilty to an aggravated battery charge.
But, Halleluiah!
Last month he gave himself in due to the new Politics of HOPE!
The New York Times reported:
Last month he gave up that fight, saying he was inspired by the new political climate he saw in Chicago, symbolized, he said, by the support of Mayor Richard M. Daley and other political leaders for the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama.
It’s a miracle!
And… 30 days for shooting a cop ain’t bad either.
