It is happening right now in NYC about the murder of Malcolm X.

I don’t know Anything about his death, but I’d assume his death was set up by the fbi just like MLK’s.

From what I understand, he was on death row for many years and that constituted solitary confinement. So early on no one had access to hIm. But like soberbyker said, he is considered a hero to others.

I think Larry will actually be re-elected.

The local FOP #5 has never supported Krasner. It is a lot harder to support a Republican mayoral candidate in the city, because there hasn’t been a viable one in a few elections. They basically sit on there hands and allow the members to vote who they want. Honestly, I believe my last couple votes for mayor in Philadelphia were actually a waste.
