Support Anarchist Prisoner Eric King
This week Bursts spoke with the wife of vegan, antifascist and anarchist political prisoner, Eric King. Eric was was convicted of attempting the September 11, 2014 firebombing of the Kansas City office of a Missouri Democratic Congressman in solidarity with the Ferguson Uprising that kicked off after the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. The office was attacked at roughly 3am when it was empty. Eric took a non-cooperating plea agreement for 10 years in Federal prison with no chance of parole. Recently, prison administrators at Florence and later Leavenworth Federal prisons have been abusing, isolating and moving Eric around and his support crew have initiated a call-in campaign, which we mentioned last week. Visit SupportEricKing.org for more details and to keep up on what's happening.
Here are a few articles on subjects spoken of in the episode including Daniel McGowan's recent story published by the ACLU entitled "What the Government Shutdown Really Means for Federal Prisoners".
Here is a link to the situation unfolding at Florence CI.
And this is a link to Eric's call in campaign, including all relevant phone numbers and a script!

On Friday February 1st at 6pm sharp, Blue Ridge ABC will be viewing "Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey With Mumia Abu Jamal." This is 2 hour documentary from 2013 about former Black Panther, journalist, author and activist who many believe was framed up on charges of killing a cop by the Philadelphia PD in 1981. Mumia has always held his innocence. In any instance, the case betrays biases in the court and policing system of that great city that held a man on death row for nearly 3 decades, a man who has fought from within to document America's excesses and for the rights of the oppressed inside and outside of prison.
