This is bizarre to say the least.
I have no idea why a cop killer would be chosen to give a commencement speech. Doesn't a school committee choose the commencement speaker? Instead, a group of students have chosen this murderer who is serving life in prison without parole.
Decision to let cop killer Abu-Jamal give commencement speech 'despicable,' widow says
My cousin was murdered.
I would never want her murderer, who is also serving life in prison without parole, to be chosen as a commencement speaker. In fact, I never want to hear his name again.
This is the third time this convicted killer has been chosen to deliver a commencement speech and I think it's a sad state of affairs.
Successful people who make a difference in the world should be chosen for commencement speeches. There have been very powerful commencement speeches delivered over the years which inspire students to make a positive impact on our world.
This man is a murderer. He gained fame by murdering someone else and taking a life. Is that something for college students to attain to?
The commencement speech is tomorrow. My thoughts go out to the family of his victim.
Let's remember the victim: Daniel Faulkner
