Where was you? Hugo Yogi Pinell’s life mattered. This is Brother Khalfani Malik Khaldun, who met this comrade 15 years ago. He represented the best of all existing revolutionary formations in these gulag prison plantations inside colonial America.
Where was you when Yogi Bear was being executed on the prison yard at Folsom. Where was you to aid our comrade in the survival he deserved? Where was you when his soul cried to say goodbye to everyone he loved and who loved him? Where was you when those individuals slid past them pigs in the canteen line? Where was you to defend a man who had declared war on oppression from those prison cracks in California; who made sacrifices that many warriors can’t match to this date?
Where was you to help Hugo Yogi Bear Pinell, who spent 46 years in solitary confinement, who was 72 years old? Where was you, our vanguard, that should have been in place to ensure this comrade could not see any harm? Where was you after you heard our brother had fallen at the hands of racist, corrupted pigs who ensured Hugo’s death? Where was the political prisoners? Where was the revolutionary elements? Where was those who claimed to love Yogi Bear?
And if you were to ask, where was Khalfani Malik Khaldun, I would tell you that I was there with our senior warrior penetrating the brains of those who killed him, yet my body was trapped in a prison cell in Indiana. In the spirit of Comrade George Jackson, Hugo Pinell, Qatari Golden, W.L. Nolan, and all of our fallen, I cry out – Revolutionary justice be unto our enemies. Power to the people. The struggle continues. This is Brother Khalfani Malik Khaldun, the Indiana political prisoner. Love to the people and the masses. Power to the people.
