To Mumia or Not Mumia?

New York City naming a street after Abu-Jamal? Could it happen?
Petitions are circulating on both sides of the issue.

Dueling petitions are circulating at GoPetition.com. The debate is over whether or not Harlem should have a street named in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the man convicted of murdering police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Judging by the lack of actual news coverage of the situation, the traction of this stateside effort to honor Abu-Jamal seems questionable. Still people are lining up for and against, though the nays currently dominate by a 7 to 1 ratio.
