All too often in this country the victims of a murder are forgotten. Justice is the only thing left for the poor unfortunates. He was convicted and must pay the ultimate price.
Writing books or getting law degrees in prison are superfluous exercises that cloud the issues that sent him where he is at present.

It is difficult to believe that Stanley Williams and Raymond Washington formed the Crips because they were fed up with the random violence in their neighborhood. I grew up in Compton until I was five in the late sixties, and can remember the acts violence being committed by the Crips, the Bloods, and Piru gangs. The competition for drug territory or violence against one another made Compton an unsafe place for me and my family to live-so we got out. Williams and Washington were responsible for the migration of spin-off and copycat gangs throughout our country. I don’t think killing a child and her family, going to prison and writing children’s books to curtail youth violence allows him to be forgiven. It’s very little too late; he couldn’t even save his own son.

I cannot believe How many people bought into the act that he helped to change lives in Jail and is really a good person. Yeah he such a good person he shot someone in the face, twice with that shotgun. My sister made him sound out to be a saint. I think its sick. If he was truly Repentant he would tell everyone to stop defending him as he knows he did the crimes and now its time for him to take the responcibility for his actions. Actions that have dire consequences. I say Justice for the victims and let him die. To the tyrant, always.

I would gladly nominate Superior Court Judge William R. Pounders as a nobel prize candidate.

Though Stanley “Tookie” Williams may have done wrong in his past, but whom are we to judge this man. God is the Judge in charge. If Mr. Williams committed these crimes, let God be the one to decide on his life. If God wanted him dead, God would have seen to that Himself. What gives us the right to take the life when we did not give life? No I am not saying that Mr. Williams or anyone else who may have taken a life had nor have the right to take a life or cause harm to others. I am saying that we have no right to take a life. Yes, I feel as though when a murder is committed, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison. However, when the government ends ones life, they themselves become murders. What should happen to the person working for the government who takes a life? Let God take control. If the message of death row is to keep people from doing the crimes that places them on death row, then the government has done a poor job of getting the message across. How many people have been put to death? It’s just like a parent punishing a child for wrong doing. We all remember being punished. Everything was taken away for a period of time. Punishments like that kept us from trying or repeating that act. I feel that the government should take everything away from a prisoner. The problem is that jailers have just as much on the inside as on the outside. In jail you can have TV’s in you cell, get an education, enjoy outdoors, etc. I feel that if you do the crime, then do hard time. Work for your meals, work for the things that you need, take away everything. The life should be work to maintain the facility, eat and be in you cell. Prisoners should have enough time to think while serving hard time if the crime was worth it. They should have second thoughts about doing wrong. Prisoners should feel as though death would be better that being in the jail system. If this was being done, there would not be any needs for death row and the prison population would not be as high. Death row is not a threat to those who still commits crimes. It is just an easy way out of the crime. People must understand that people who commit violent acts do not have and self respect for themselves and do not care about life. If this type of mentality can be changed before in manifest into a problem, children like Mr. Johnson would not be committing such acts. A CHANGE NEEDS TO COME. THE WRONG MESSAGE IS BEING SENT OUT TO OUR GENERATION. WE NEED TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION BEFORE PROBLEMS BEGAN. WE NEED TO STOP FAILING OUR PEOPLE AND GIVE EVERYBODY A CHANCE FOR POSITIVE SUCCESS.

We as a people should understand that yes people can change. Though he started this history of gang war, he did not place a gun to the members head to make them do the things that have done and are still doing. People make their own choices. As far as the murders, I was not there. From what I have read, it is a hard decision to make to say that he committed the murders. What seemed fishy to me is that all of the witness who testified against him had something to gain. That gain was pressure off of their backs of the crimes they committed. If I was in the same situation, I would lie to if I had something to gain from lying. So just with that fact alone, yes I think that Mr. Williams should be pardon. He is serving his time. What will be solved by killing this man? Every man must account for himself. He has served his time, he has reversed his ways, he seems to be trying to help the next generation from going down the wrong path, and he is trying to make up for his wrong. So yes, Mr. Williams should be pardon. As a matter of fact, he should be set free.
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL THOSE WHITE PEOPLE WHO KILLED, BEAT, HUNG, RAPED, AND TORCHED BLACKS IN THE 1900’S FOR NO REASONS AT ALL WERE NOT PLACED IN PRISON OR PLACED ON DEATH ROW. WHERE WAS DEATH ROW FOR THOSE PEOPLE BACK THEN? WHERE WAS THE GOVERNMENT THEN?

ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. WHAT WILL PLACING WILLIAMS TO DEATH PROVE AND HOW WILL IT HELP CHANGE THE WORLD? IT WON’T.

I truely bieved that God almighty only have the power and the opportuinty to give life or take life. Only to often we as a nation states one thing and do another. HE HAS THE PAID PRICE AN SHOULD AND CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER ON THE OUTSIDE FOR OUR CHILDREN. Only God can choose and give life and understanding to man and that purpose for his redemetion.That why he is able to understand our children pain and that is why he is able to speak and give healing to the one who want to listen to and read his knowledge. We say in God we trust, but do we really?

Stanley Williams killed four people, and is responsible for the deaths of many others. He has not taken responsibility for his actions. My empathy is only for his victims. He is garbage in human form.

“Tookie the murderer” is going to get the BIG JAB. If you think an Austrian is going to spare him, you should put down your crack pipe.

I am going to wake up a 3:00 EST and toast another job well done in the State of Kalifornia

Here’s where “Tookie the murderer” is going on December 13th.

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/lethal-injection-sanquentin2.jpg

They will strap him to a gurney and stick a IV needle and tube in his arm and roll him into this puke green room, then they will inject a drug to sedate him, inject a drug to paralyse him, and then inject Potassium Chloride to stop the electrical signals to his heart. Total time 18 minutes or less. Then he be just another dead-ass turd flushed down the sewerpipe of humanity. His victims never had it this easy. Do you think his victims were frightened before he snuffed them out? Call him tookie, or Mr. Giggles, of any other dumbass fucking name, he gonna be dead as Rosa Parks by the 14th.

I bet he shits and pisses himself before it’s over. I would. That’s why I don’t murder people.

By Dec. 14th his 15 minutes of fame will be up and he will be promptly forgotten.

The only people who should believe that Tookie is guilty should be the same ones that honestly believe OJ is innocent. OJ got off because the cops were racist.Tookie got convicted because the prosecutor was racist.If he is really guilty lets have a trial now and skip all the controversy.His original case was a little shady.

On February 28, 1979, Stanley “Tookie” Williams and three other men drove in two cars to a 7-Eleven store in the city of Whittier, California, a suburb southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The lone clerk on duty at the time was 26-year-old Albert Owens, who was sweeping the store’s parking lot when the men arrived. Owens apparently believed the men to be legitimate customers, for he put down his broom and dust pan and followed them into the store. Williams, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, forced Owens into a back storeroom. After ordering Owens to lie on the floor, Williams fired a shotgun blast into the store’s security monitor. Then, though Owens had offered no resistance at all, Williams fired two blasts into the prostrate man’s back, killing him. When an accomplice asked Williams why he had shot Owens, Williams explained that he didn’t want to leave any witnesses. The accomplice would also later testify that Williams told him he killed Owens “because he was white and he was killing all white people.”

Williams and his three accomplices netted about $120 in cash for their efforts that night.

Less than two weeks later, at about five in the morning on March 11, Williams went to the Brookhaven Motel at 10411 South Vermont Avenue, less than a ten-minute drive due east from Los Angeles International Airport. After breaking into the motel’s office, Williams shot and killed 76-year-old Yen-I Yang and his 63-year-old wife, Tsai-Shai Yang. Next he killed their daughter, 43-year-old Yee-Chen Lin. As in the Owens killing, the murder weapon was a 12-gauge shotgun. The take in this crime was about $100.

Williams was identified as a suspect in the killings and arrested. In March 1981 a jury convicted him of all four murders and also found true the “special circumstances” that under California law exposed him to the death penalty, to wit, multiple murders and murder committed during the act of robbery. The jury recommended the death penalty, and on April 15, 1981, the trial judge did in fact sentence Williams to death.

Today Williams remains very much alive and enjoying a most peculiar brand of celebrity, the type previously heaped on men like Mumia Abu-Jamal, the unrepentant and still-living killer of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. But, while Abu-Jamal’s case languishes in the courts nearly 24 years after the murder for which he was sentenced to death, and while Abu-Jamal himself advances steadily toward the natural death that appears to await him, time is at long last running out for Tookie Williams. On October 11 of this year, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear Williams’s final appeal, and as things now stand he will be executed by lethal injection at 12:01 A.M. on December 13.

Tookie, Thanks for the books and trying to keep kids away from gangs and all th other supposedly good things you’ve done while in prison. Also thanks for the empty apology. But it’s time for you to die!! It’s time for you to stop wasting tax payers money on meals,housing clothing,tv and all the other amenities you’ve enjoyed at the tax payers expense. The same things you deprived your victims from enjoying. And to all your supporters i have one wish for them. And that is they walk into a room as i did and find their loved one brutaly raped and stabbed 17 times. Then and only then can they talk to me about mercy. May God have mercy on your soul because i sure as hell don’t!!!!

I want to know what Tookie did in prison to land in the Hole for 6 years.

My opinion, fry him.

No one deserves the dealth penalty. However I think Mr. Williams does deserve to be in prison. I believe being the leader of a gang that he has committed a murder or ordered murders at one time or another. Also if there are reports that he is having violent fights with other inmates and having run ins with the guards (IF THIS IS TRUE), then this shows that he is not reabilitated but he still doesn’t deserve to die.

who really knows if he killed those people there is evidence that questions his inocence there is a man know that has lied to us and is killing people everyday but yet nobody has yet to put him on trial so go figure, spare him his life he will be judged by a power more deserving than anyone of us killing him know would be to easy

why do the black interest groups, hollywood socialites, and other people who leave their brains at home clamber to support thugs like this? its pretty obvious tookie aint man of the year in any year. why arent you freaks supporting Colin Powell, or Condaleeza Rice, or other real people that actually do good? how many white inmates have you tried to get off death row? name just one, i dare you to. oh, and how many INNOCENT death row inmates have actually have been killed? go ahead, name them, were waiting, im tired of that argument. if sh– for brains, i mean tookie, killed your family, would you still try for clemency? i didnt think so. i dont care what color you are, if you intentionally murder people the way these thugs do, you deserve your punishment. if you are tried, and the verdict is guilty, guess what? youre getting punished for the crime. these tookie supporters look about as bright as oj and blake jurors. tookie deserves nothing less than death.

This is not about Tookie Williams’ past gang-activities. This is not about Tookie Williams’ children’s books. This is not about Tookie Williams’ Nobel Prize nominations. This is not about the celebrities who support his clemency. This is about the specific crimes he was convicted of. In this country, even the most unsavory person has the right to a fair trial with a jury of his peers and an unbiased judge and prosecutor. This is about the unfortunate fact that Mr. Williams’ trial was badly mishandled and it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for the deaths of these four victims. If Mr. Williams is executed before he ever receives a new fair trial, we will be sending a message that we can put people to death without giving them due process…just because we don’t like who they are or what they’re about. This is not the American way. Trust me, I have no feelings of love for Mr. Williams. He has done some horrible things during his gangster days. But that does not mean that we have the right to kill him without absolute proof that he committed these murders. And by the way, I am a White Republican man.

Man, it’s obvious that “tookie” killed four people…that’s automatic first degree murder. He had the right to either not join a gang and not end up killing people, …or to do what he has decided to do…kill people for money. Very stupid. And I hope Williams pay the price for killing four people. I don’t give a rat’s a$$ if williams published a book, has been nominated for the nobel peace prize or has black leaders rubbing his a$$ to protect him. He’s obviously wrong…done wrong…and decides to simply die. None of this “oh williams trial wasn’t fair because he’s black.” Horse sh_t!! I just hate listening to black criminals make excuses after excuses after excuses. Guess what guys….I’m an African-American myself…and I work hard, pay taxes, have gone on to college….and I don’t give a f_ck if some of you call me an oreo. That’s the only way out of poverty and the best way to “be respected.” You don’t go out, kill people, get arrested and play the race card. No way. Plus what irked me about williams, is that he has committed a hate crime by killing a white guy…simply because he’s white,…and three Asians…calling them “buddha heads.” As a black guy myself, I have had racial slurs hurled at me…and don’t like it. Just because williams is black doesn’t mean he can hurl racial slurs at other ethnic group…it’s just plain wrong. Black racism is just as bad as white racism. So all in all, williams should die on December 13th…nothing more nothing less. If the public wants to use this upcoming event as an example to deter kids from joining gangs….why not air this execution live on ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox? Heck, even if its was on Pay Per View….I’d order the damn event. None of this “oh I published a book” kind of sh_t or celebrities without a brain supporting this loser without knowing the full facts!

I hope your comments are also going to Arnold where they will do some good. His email is in one of my previous comments. Lets send this man to Hell with his other friends.

Sorry Tookie…Your Time is about up. Now you will pay for the people you have Killed, The Prisoners you have Raped, and the Guards you have Injured while on Death Row! The World will be a much better place without you!

This man has been allowed to live far to long as it is. Lets put this dog to sleep and move on to something more worthy of our attention.

I just pray thie ir right in GOD’S eyes right or wrong as it all is still i PRAY

Whether or not Tookie Williams is guilty is between him and God. Even if he is given clemency, he will still spend the rest of his natural life in prison so he will never again walk among us either way. What really amazes and disgusts me about some of the posts I’ve read on this and other Tookie-related sites is the absolute arrogance, rage, fear and ignorance of some people in America. What has happened to us? Did we learn anything from the Civil Rights movement? Why are we still tearing eachother apart over stuff like this? I hear anger and bigotry from both “sides” and we need to be better than that. We need to evolve to a better way of communicating with eachother. I can’t believe the number of people who are willing to post insulting, violent, bigoted nastiness on these sites–things they would never say in public. Clearly, this is how many people truly feel. I hope some of you will take your angry energy and use it to do some good–help improve your own communities, help your neighbor, help a stranger. If you don’t, none of this will mean anything. Tookie’s life (and eventual death)will mean nothing. The lives and deaths of the victims will mean nothing. Open your eyes and envision a better world. Now.

You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. Perhaps someday you will join us. And the world will live as one.

What we don’t need is a society that exalts murderers as heroes. Regardless of what good Tookie has done, it doesn’t absolve him of killing four people. What actual and factual proof is there of Tookie REALLY saving kids from gang life anyway? If he is involved in saving kids and making the world a better place, why hasn’t anybody heard of him before last month?

What if Tookie Williams is executed and years later it is proven that he did not commit the four murders? What then? Then the State is guilty of murder, right? Think hard about that before you start screaming for his death. Think, think, think.

James, you are so right! The idea of peace is very frightening for violent people because they know in their hearts that peace is the way and violence is wrong. But they are too afraid and embarrassed to admit their mistake. Or maybe they are just not smart enough to figure it out.

As my 14 year old daughter said when she heard this on the news. Well the bible says an Eye for an Eye. So I guess God has already made his decision.

James was right–you can’t be civil. You are so blinded by anger and fear you’ll never get it right. You are a pitiful waste of time. And you’ll never stop us. Peace, justice and truth always win in the end. Too bad you’re too simple-minded to understand that. James said “you will just post more insults and nastiness to hide your insecurity and fear.” And you that’s exactly what you did. I guess he was right again. LOL.

Last time, What about the victims and their families? The two of you avoid the question like the plague.

Read the transcript of Tookie’s murder trial. It was an unjust trial. The judge was corrupt. The evidence was tampered with. The whole thing was botched. There was no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Tookie did these murders. So why should he apologize for something he did not do? He has already apologized for his prior gang-involvement. But he is on Death Row for something he did not do. I have yet to hear anybody on any site dispute this by using actual facts! Some of you scream and shout “Kill Tookie” but you don’t take the time to go on the net and research the facts of the case. I think Tookie has done some horrible things–but not these murders! It’s a matter of public-record. Look it up. Or maybe some of you don’t have the intellectual capacity to comprehend legal documents. I’m not surprised. James and Julia were right on target. Thank God people like them are brave enough to tell the truth!

Yo Adrienne-check out ‘tookie must die’ and go to the gando web site if you think tookie didn’t do it, plus the fact he did admit it, then wake up and support a responsible person. You want to deter crime? Then turn jails back to jails, punish people for what they did, turn juries into a professional job, and put capitol punishment on PPV. my .02

Well maybe this has already been said, but what would all you people say if it was your family that was killed. Would you still want the murderer to go unpunished. I mean would you doubt the judicial system or accept it. Yea you can say that you would forgive but believe me, it isnt that easy. If you were facing death, would you start doing anything and everything to avoid it. Hells yes. Would you go against your principles to save your life. Uh yes you can say no, but look deep.

The 7-Eleven Robbery-Murder of Albert Owens
On February 28, 1979, Stanley Williams murdered Albert Lewis Owens during a robbery of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Whittier, California. Here are the details of that crime from the The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s response to Williams petition for executive clemency.
Late on the evening of February 27, 1979, Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams introduced his friend Alfred Coward, a.k.a. “Blackie,” to a man named Darryl. A short time later, Darryl, driving a brown station wagon, drove Williams to the residence of James Garrett. Coward followed in his 1969 Cadillac. (Trial Transcript (TT) 2095-2097). Stanley Williams often stayed at the Garrett residence and kept some of his belongings there, including his shotgun. (TT 1673, 1908).

At the Garrett residence, Williams went inside and returned carrying a twelve-gauge shotgun. (TT 2097-2098). Darryl and Williams, with Coward following in his car, later drove to another residence, where they obtained a PCP-laced cigarette, which the three men shared.

Williams, Coward and Darryl then went to the residence of Tony Sims. (TT 2109). These four men then discussed where they could go in Pomona to make some money. (TT 2111). The four men then went to yet another residence where they smoked more PCP. (TT 2113-2116).

While at this location, Williams left the other men and returned with a .22 caliber handgun, which he also put in the station wagon. (TT 2117-2118). Williams then told Coward, Darryl and Sims they should go to Pomona. In response, Coward and Sims entered the Cadillac, Williams and Darryl entered the station wagon, and both cars traveled on the freeway toward Pomona. (TT 2118-2119).

The four men exited the freeway near Whittier Boulevard. (TT 2186). They drove to a Stop-N-Go market and, at Williams’ direction, Darryl and Sims entered the store to commit a robbery. At the time, Darryl was armed with the .22 caliber handgun. (TT 2117-2218; Tony Sims’ Parole Hearing Dated July 17, 1997).

Johnny Garcia Escapes Death
The clerk at the Stop-N-Go market, Johnny Garcia, had just finished mopping the floor when he observed a station wagon and four black men at the door to the market. (TT 2046-2048). Two of the men entered the market. (TT 2048). One of the men went down an aisle while the other approached Garcia.
The man that approached Garcia asked for a cigarette. Garcia gave the man a cigarette and lit it for him. After approximately three to four minutes, both men left the market without carrying out the planned robbery. (TT 2049-2050).

He Would Show Them How
Williams became upset that Darryl and Sims did not commit the robbery. Williams told the men that they would find another place to rob. Williams said that at the next location all of them would go inside and he would show them how to commit a robbery.
Coward and Sims then followed Williams and Darryl to the 7-Eleven market located at 10437 Whittier Boulevard. (TT 2186). The store clerk, twenty-six year old Albert Lewis Owens, was sweeping the store parking lot. (TT 2146).

Albert Owens Killed
When Darryl and Sims entered the 7-Eleven, Owens put the broom and dust pan down and followed them into the store. Williams and Coward followed Owens into the store. (TT 2146-2152). As Darryl and Sims walked to the counter area to take money from the register, Williams walked behind Owens and told him “shut up and keep walking.” (TT 2154). While pointing a shotgun at Owens’ back, Williams directed him to a back storage room. (TT 2154).
Once inside the storage room, Williams, at gunpoint, ordered Owens to “lay down, mother f*****.” Williams then chambered a round into the shotgun. Williams then fired the round into the security monitor. Williams then chambered a second round and fired the round into Owens’ back as he lay face down on the floor of the storage room. Williams then fired again into Owens’ back. (TT 2162).

Near Contact Wound
Both of the shotgun wounds were fatal. (TT 2086). The pathologist who conducted the autopsy on Owens testified that the end of the barrel was “very close” to Owens’ body when he was shot. One of the two wounds was described as “. . . a near contact wound.” (TT 2078).
After Williams murdered Owens, he, Darryl, Coward and Sims fled in the two cars and returned home to Los Angeles. The robbery netted them approximately $120.00. (TT 2280).

‘Killing All White People’
Once back in Los Angeles, Williams asked if anyone wanted to get something to eat. When Sims asked Williams why he shot Owens, Williams said he “didn’t want to leave any witnesses.” Williams also said he killed Owens “because he was white and he was killing all white people.” (TT 2189, 2193).
Later that same day, Williams bragged to his brother Wayne about killing Owens. Williams said, “you should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him.” Williams then made gurgling or growling noises and laughed hysterically about Owens’ death. (TT 2195-2197).

albeej and kelvin–do your own research. Figure it out for yourselves. Anyone with half a brain can figure out how to get a transcript of the Tookie Williams trial (and transcripts of all his appeals). All that crap you are reciting is not evidence, it is a doctored version of the truth. You bigots make me sick. You’re so lazy and stupid. You’re the same kind of people who demand of Black people “Teach me about Black history! Who is Martin Luther King? Where is Africa? Did slavery really happen? Do Black people really all eat watermelon?”. You’re so narrow-minded and self-involved it makes me want to vomit. And you are now telling me you’re too retarded to figure out how to get a copy of the Williams trial. And by the way, “a jury of your peers” is supposed to include more than one member of your own ethnic group. But you’re both total idiots, so you probably don’t understand that concept either. You’re dumb as dirt, and I’m bored with you.

I’m a lawyer. I know exactly what I’m talking about. A jury of one’s “peers” means just that. During jury selection in both criminal and civil cases, these qualities are taken into consideration: age, occupation, religion, race or ethnicity, gender, etc etc. Even a potential-juror’s attitude toward law-enforcement is considered. Several potential jurors in the original Tookie Williams trial were disqualified from serving on the jury specifically because they were African American. There, now you know a little more than you did before. But you “albeej” and your buddy “kelvin” are still too mentally-deficient to be believed. I’m really bored now. Adios.

Hey, “albeej”–enough already, buddy! You have been posting idiotic comments on this site for far too long. Get a life, man. That guy “Russell” already left this site and you are still trying to argue with him. He’s not reading the posts anymore, dummy! You just can’t stand the fact that he whipped your ass. Deal with it. He’s right, you’re wrong. Period.

Wow–you’re really an idiot, aren’t you? You know, there have been many cases of innocent people going to trial and being wrongly convicted. Ever hear of Nelson Mandela? He spent thirty years in prison in South Africa for a crime he did not commit. While he was there, he was beaten every week and nearly died several times while incarcerated. Would you have been happy if he had died or been put to death? I personally am very happy that he was able to gain his freedom. It changed the world. I honestly think you’re too dumb to comprehend the implications of the Tookie Williams case. You just don’t get it. Well, I’m done battling wits with an unarmed-person. Enjoy your afe little world of ignorance.

Good, does that mean you’re going to shut-up, “albeej”? Excellent. Free Tookie! Free Tookie! Free Tookie!

I think Tookie should be set free if…

…just one of these limosine liberals agrees to take his place and fulfill his justly arrived at sentence of death for the murders of the young man at the convenience store and the three members of the chinese family at their motel.

Shwartzenegger probably will commute his sentence…just so he can have an excuse when he loses the next election.

And lastly, isn’t it nice that the bleeding hearts cite Tookie’s good works and children’s books. It’s so nice that he has this legacy to leave. But what legacy did he allow the people he is convicted of murdering to leave? What happened to their chances to leave a life’s legacy? They will forever be remembered simpy as unfortunates executed without a moment’s notice. No chance to leave anything but those gurgling sounds Tookie found so humerous.

I hope Mr. Williams can provide us with some funny sounds himself soon. I’ve grown tired of his incessant bleating of “poor me, poor me!” You’re done, son.

Mayne one of those wonderful humans who desparately wanting tookies life saved because he’s such a nice guy and benefit to society, they would voulunteer to take his place on Dec 12?

To answer the two queries (1) yes the farmer deserves to die, (2) you are an idiot.

DENIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY BUY “TOOKIE” YOU STINKING CRIP STREET THUG!!!!
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!

THANK YOU GOVERNER SCHWARTSNEGGER … YOU GOT MY VOTE NEXT TIME AROUND!!!

I don’t care who you are, or what color you are, if you think Tookie deserves clemency, you are an idiot, and need counseling.
You ever notice the areas in the country that are the most liberal AND democratic, and bleeding heart for these thugs have the highest jobless rate, homeless rates, AND people on government assistance?
You Tookie supporters, and all the rest using this as your agenda to abolish the death penalty, need to find a cause that will do your community good!! Quit portraying Tookie as a victim of a botched trial, and start acting like responsible citizens for a change. If you want safer communities, you hold people responsible for the crimes they commit, and you punish them so harshly that they, and their stupid, criminal peers get the message!!

Liberal contradiction on display once again. First, liberals claim that the death penalty is too harsh. Then they claim that life in prison is an even worse punishment because the person has to stay confined for the duration of their life. So liberals are trying to extend this man’s life to punish him more? I would think after 24 years facing the gallows, it would be a relief to finally get it over with. They look like they are trying to do this man a favor, but in fact they aren’t. All the white liberals who don’t live within 50 miles of a crips member, leave their mansions, park their cadillacs, and try to get some face-time with the media, nevermind that Tookies and his gang would slice their asses up in a second if they walked in crip turf. The taxpayers who have paid to keep this scumbag alive these last few decades deserve justice. Oh yeah, let’s not forget the victims in this case http://flapsblog.com/?p=1464

We talk as if we know what happened, like maybe we know the real truth. Not just the truth about the case, but the truth about life and death. Conservatives ask, “would you take his place on the 12th?” “wouldn’t you want justice if someone killed your family?” Liberals say “it’s inhumane,” “and it costs more to execute than to keep them alive.” Well, it’s not you! You’re not the one being executed, you’re not the one who has to count down the hours until hate consumes you. The truth here is that hate has consumed everyone. Forget about what happened that got Tookie in prison… yes, the families who have lost their loved ones deserve to move on and mourn, but we are dealing with someone facing execution… whether you agree with it or not, they are still human and loved by God.

it would be nice to be able to grant clemency for those that need it, but currently CALIFORNIA DOES NOT HAVE THE OPTION FOR LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. yes you heard that right, if a death sentence is communted a inmate could theoritcally out at his next parole hearing because his sentence would be reduced to life with possiblity of parole. one of the failings of the california judical system. i am not anti-death penalty, i figure if you got a chair you should keep it in use. but i would no be opposed to life in prison without possibility of parole IF prison were actually a terrible place, where they were actually denied tv’s and had to do laborous output to pay for their room and board and food instead of making me pay for their crimes. yes thats right, i dont want to pay for their crimes. if prison were a horrible place, that is: if they were kept in solitary confinement, worked 12 hours a day, were not allowed tv’s or any form of entertainment, then and only then would i even think of consider that in case of the death penalty. keep in mind that i would only be applying this to present crimes and not people that have already been convicted, in fact for those people who are on death row currently i think there should be a max amount of time (say 10 years, instead of the 24 tookie has spent) before your execution is put on. so what i’m suggesting is that california impose a life without the possibility of parole and make prison actually harder. prisoners live better then bums, because when was the last time you saw a bum with free medical care and a place to sleep every night?

Tookie Tookie lend me your comb. (because you won’t need it anymore) because it’s time to pay the “Grim Reaper”. See ya, oh ya! you can quit whining now, it’s over! Even your Liberal 9th circuit court will not try and save your murdering butt!

It is over. This is the lesson: go forth and learn to love eachother. God is watching. Make Him proud.

I am not a proponent of the Death Penalty…in any case, for any any indiviudal, of any ethnicity, socio-economic or educational background, under any cirucumstance. I believe that life in prison without possibility of parole affords our judicial system several advantages, saves money by eliminating the costly appeals process, allows one the opportunity to commute sentences in the event that error is discovered and the convicted is actually innocent, and life in prison is far more punishing than death. My view of the Death Penalty does not fluctate from case to case, based upon racial bias, empathy or sympathy for the impoverished, or distaste for the wealthy. It remains the same. I am also a Christian. As such I do believe in forgiveness for ones sins. However, I also believe in suffering the consequences of one’s actions, which could possibly mean prison time. I have read so many entries on this page that were frankly…disturbing. Must racial hate influence some individuals every thought and opinion? Some here claim to be humanitarians concerned with victims rights, however, based upon their very ugly comments, they are not far from the murders and criminals they claim to so detest. I would be afraid to be left alone in a room with some of them. Where is the dividing line?

I am not originally from this country, and so I do not really know what to think about this case. I don’t know why he refuses to admit to the murders he committed. I do not understand why big celebreties back him with all this considered. This case reminds me of the movie Natural born killers, where the murderers are glamourized, and at the same time they are only very superficially understood, at best, by anyone who is not a sick and depraved criminal. What the celebrities do not understand i think is that Tookie has been traumitized as a child, and even as a criminal who witnessed his own horrific acts against humanity. He would have to laugh off, and deny anything as horrific and traumatizing as the horrific murders he committed, or else he would go crazy. Maybe he was a good man, and that is what the celebrities saw in him. Maybe he was a good man who made a traumatic mistake he could never go back on. Maybe he was a good kid that got swept away by drugs and wreckless idiots.

But then it seems Tookie could have done much more than write childrens books. He still shakes hands and accepts, with arms wide open, cryp members like snoop doggie dog. Not to mention the fact that snoop is spreading trash talk and violence throughout the poor black neiborhoods with his profit-generating, self-serving music. Kids in the ghetto now adays DONT READ BOOKS, THEY LISTEN TO RAP MUSIC. If Tookie really wanted to do some good for poor black urban culture I could name hundreds of things he could of done besides write childrens books!(not to mention hang around the respectable people at the very least!)

But I am wrong to blame Tookie for this, for it is not his fault that black celebreties and politicians have failed and continue to fail to do ANYTHING to reverse trash-talk and violent culture. I guess they are all to busy trying to “get some” or “catch some booty” or too busy trying to be a “brotha- know what I mean?” instead of being a role model or going against the grain. Tookie was simply doing the best he knew how to do.

In fact one could argue that it was the celebreties and politicians who ultimately sealed his fate. For some of these people might have had the power and social respect to reverse his fate had they done something more respectable for young black america than continue to write gangsta rap. It seems the celebreties used Tookie for selfish gain like they used every other resource available in their lives. I’m sure none of them knew him well enough to cry after his death, either. Proof to the bolony!

How about Tookie’s white lawers too.. It doesn’t seem they did everything they could have done to keep him alive. Tough case…Tough case… So long murderous spirit. Good luck in the next life!

Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams killed those people and there was ballistics evidence traced to his gun. His two friend that he hung out with reported that he confessed to both of them. I am convinced that Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams did kill people violently for little or no reason. Regardless of his new jailhouse halo and stuff. He should have thought twice before he killed those people. He referred to the Asian family that he killed as “Buddha-Heads” as he confessed to a friend.
I am against the death penalty, but I feel that Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams is most definitely guilty.

i give up. in my 20yrs of livin i have seen too much ignorance and racism to care anymore. america today is based on every man for himself and aint shit we can do. if u dont have money or power, then u live on other peoples morals. my messages to all my black brothers and sisters is take care of yourself and your family thats the only thing that matters.

A Europesn governour ——— I am ashamed
murdering, killing armees as heroes —
as long as people want revenge and are not striving for a change to the better
this world is lost to the …………
who is it, who is throwing the first stone??????????????
How would all of us be, if we grew up in such a neighbor hood????????
But on a big scale, we make business with Saddam – with Osama Bin Laden….
What is Justice????????????
Do all the ones, who ordered and did killing and torturing get a death sentence??????
May them all be forgiven – since they don’t know what they are doing.
Let us all pray for wiser men to govern this world.

What really fucks me up is that none of this shit had anything to do with tookie. The real reason that they killed him is that they are hoping it will calm some of the gang violence here in Californis down, but it wont this people go, go out now and bang harder then ever before bacause you killed one of thier leaders.

i wouldve killed em too. he killed them n yall know he did it. just cuz he wrote books and did campaigns on anti-gang violence, he stilled killed em. who else do yall know killed bout 4 people and got away wit publicly. just cuz he black all d black people said he didnt do it. by the way im black

….Getter done! Yeah baby, gang-bang this REHABILITATED….FREE AT LAST!

…pathetic gang bangin low-life dirt wads!

Arnold did the right thing! Hre’s your crip sign…Thumbs UP! or DOWN…however you want to read it idiot retards!

Justin, buddy, no one said racism is gone. My point is that you cannot use “racism” as an excuse to do whatever you want and get away with it. Think about it, SIR! What kind of ignorant person says the reason this man was found guilty is because the jurors weren’t from Compton. Give me a break. Read what someone says and quit using your excuse for a brain to decipher plain english.

All these post mortem opinions are really not necessary. We got the man we wanted…he is gone now. To abuse the people in here who happened to be on the opposite side of the table in their idealogy, with vulgar and personal attacks, lowers your esteem to the level of the man we just sent to Hell. If you persist in rubbing their noses in it, then I haven’t any use for you people either.
Your not anything close to being funny in your comments. In fact,You reinforce the notion that America has it’s share of rampageous Stupidity.

Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!

(get a REAL job Jessie Jackson) your are tired and your antics are old hat, dude! Anything to do for a person just as long as they are BLACK. You create more racisum on this turf than you ae worth…pathetic! no shame in your games…

WAD UP DOC!!!!!!!
U MADE ME LAUGH WITH THAT SONG!!!! JESUS, I READ IT OUT LOUD AND IT’S NOT FUNNY, BUT FUNNY!!!!! IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN. ANYWAYS. IM OUT.

Noname? You got it all wrong. Your innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

And about starting a gang!? Jesus approached Peter, than Andrew, than James and etc. Ending up with a gang of men for a good cause. Nevertheless, Christianity started with Jesus, evolved into a gang and ultimately into a huge organized Religion.

Now, why is hard for you to accept the fact that williams started the Crips gang for an evil cause?

Now, if you want to discuss the system as being Racial, here is a fact you might not know about: Since the death penalty was reestablished in California, eleven men were put to death.
Eight were white, two were black and one was Hispanic.
This throws the baby(Racism)out with the bath water. In a simpler explanation, over 70% of the men executed were white. Racism is a catchall word connoting Discrimination or prejudice used by the opposition to further their cause, even when it doesn’t exist.
Other catchall words that are often used by the opposition are : Anti- Semitic; Sexism, Nazism, to name a few.

I see in the CNN photo from their http://www.cnn.com/LAW/ website, that the people that had the balls to burn an American flag in front of San Quentin State Prison did have big enough balls to NOT wear masks over their faces. You don’t like how things work here? Get the f*&# out. You don’t have to burn our flag to be heard. Go to Iraq or Iran if you want to burn flags. They will love you.
Cowards.

HOORAY!!!!!!! Poor Ol’ Tookie is gone for good!!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!! I am presently taking tap dancing lessons, so that I can do a little dance on his grave!!! Too bad, tho, that they can’t stuff that loudmouth idiot, Jesse Jackson, in Tookies’ grave too!!! Tookie, that no good, lying, murdering, arrogant piece of crap… and look at those monumentally stupid celebrities who were crying for him!

Celebrities, ex-teammates help Owens celebrate 32nd birthday
By The Associated Press
December 13, 2005

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Terrell Owens doesn’t need to score touchdowns to celebrate.

Exiled from the Philadelphia Eagles last month, the All-Pro wide receiver known for his flamboyant end zone theatrics hosted a birthday party Monday night at rapper Jay-Z’s 40-40 club. T.O. turned 32 on Dec. 7.

The bash drew several NFL stars, some of Owens’ former teammates on the Eagles and a few celebrities.

Among the celebrities on the guest list were Jamie Foxx, Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin, former Bears coach Mike Ditka, Redskins running back Clinton Portis and Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss also were invited. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was a surprise name on the list — he and Owens feuded last year when Owens spurned a trade from San Francisco to Baltimore.

A day earlier, the reigning conference champion Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention with their sixth loss in seven games. Jevon Kearse and Lito Sheppard were among the 11 Eagles who attended.

New York Sun Editorial
December 14, 2005

In California this week, supporters of convicted killer and founder of the Crips street gang, Stanley “Tookie” Williams, argued that Williams should be spared execution because he had changed his ways while in prison, writing children’s books about the evils of gangs and encouraging young people to lead better lives than he had. Others argued that he should still have to pay for the crimes for which he was convicted in 1981 no matter what he had done with himself in the meantime. We didn’t hear anything about the gun control laws that were in effect 26 years ago when Williams committed the crimes that landed him on death row. What happened in San Quentin prison Monday night was about Williams and the four people he victimized.

Thank you, albeej!!! You got the real facts on good ol’ Spittin’ Jesse!! I wonder how all of them can look at themselves… they all use each other for their own gain!!! Tookie was using Jesse, Jesse was using Tookie.. that “black brotherhood” routine is getting old… any of them would stab each other in the back for a little publicity.
And as for that Barbara Becnel…. How can she stand up so often for that lousy murderer? I would like to shake her hand, if she was EVER that supportive of the victim’s families! Oh, well, someone else to despise… HEY!!! Maybe she and Jesse can hook up!! That would be a match made in heaven!!! Go, Jesse, GO!!!!!

So Jesse Jackson says he used to spit in White folks’ food, huh? Very interesting. Not cool. But then again, White people used to lynch Blacks, shoot them, imprison them, whip them and burn them alive just because they were Black. And lynching isn’t a “relic” of the past. . .the Klan lynched a young Black man in the South as recently as the 1980′s !!! Maybe there is a REASON some Black folk feel like spitting in our food. Maybe they’ve had it with us arrogant White people and they’re just sick and tired of the whole mess we created with our racism and our attitude that we are entitled to own and use and abuse EVERY FUCKING THING ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH! I am White, and I can totally understand where Black people are coming from. I admit my life is a hell of a lot easier because I’m not Black. I doubt many of you White people out there would have the balls to admit it to yourselves.

gotter done!

Monday night, 11:58 p.m. at San Quentin, Stanley “I Didn’t Do It But I Redeemed Myself By Allowing Some Chick To Put My Name On Some Books” Williams sits on a gurney, awaiting his fate. The phone rings. The guard picks up, says “why hello! … OK … Well, yes, of course. Boy, was that close!” He hangs up, turns to the Tookinator and says “Good news! I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico!”

Given the reports that the injection took a bit longer than planned:

Commerical opens with the technicians fiddling with the hoses, Tookie strapped to the table eating a Snickers bar with one hand while the voice over asks: “Not going anywhere for a while?”…

Tookie “i’m inocent” Williams. Finally taking the big dirt nap. If he didnt do it, who did?
Ef his skull, that low life bastid.

TO BRAD: You idiotic liberal moron… You can go on and on listing who did what to who all the way back to the caveman! If you are a “guilty” whitey, that is YOUR problem… I am white, love being white, and am NOT guilty for what some evil white guy did to a black guy…. or vice versa!! If you are so guilty, spray paint yourself a nice charcoal black, and get on Jesse’s bandwagon! By the way, I wish I could meet you somewhere to beat your face into bleeding raw hamburger! Have a great day, Brad, you scrawny spineless weasel!!!

To the electricchairrepairman; I am with you, dude!! I want to beat up Brad, too!!! that is if there is anything left of him after you tear him apart!! OOPS! And, that’s assuming he would ever have the GUTS to show up for a fight…. He sounds like a coward of the tenth magnitude to me! I bet he can run fast… Brad, could you catch the Roadrunner? I bet you could! TURD

IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH ABOUT TOOKIE: I have confirmed information that in the last five years of his life, Stanley “Tookie” Williams had been stockpiling his semen in a local laboratory. It is estimated that there are about 5,000 doses in deep freeze. Tookie realized that he may die soon, so he wanted to be sure that his seed is carried on. These samples are now available to women for artificial insemination. There is a small fee for the procedure. Any women interested in continuing the genetic link for Tookie can get more information at: http://www.makeanotherkiller.org Good luck, ladies!

Emptyhandkiller, THANK YOU for that information!! I have sent many cards and letters to Tookie over the years. I really found him attractive, and now I can show my love for him by having his child! I hope to have a little boy, and I will name him Tookie!!! And, for his first birthday, I will buy him his very own shotgun, just like the one the real Tookie had!! I hope little Tookie is as good a shot as his daddy was! When I masturbate, I always pretend Tookie is doing me… I know I can’t ever have sex with Tookie, but now I can have his baby!

Tookie Williams is a cold-blooded killer. He was convicted of capital murder in California, and is scheduled to die a few hours from now. After a full-court Hollywood press, Governor Schwarzenegger decided against granting clemency to Williams.

Good enough.

Oddly, Rainbow Push Coalition leader Jesse Jackson will be marching in protest. Jackson, of course, is famous for his defence of black “victims” of justice. He personally met with the Governor to plea the Williams case, saying on his web site:

Tookie Williams personifies what “Redemption” is all about. He has used his time in prison to reach others and save lives. We may not be able to quantify the number of children he has saved, but I am certain that there are children in this country and abroad that would not be here had they not received his powerful message.

Interesting perspective. Can we quantify the thousands of children who would be with us had Tookie Williams not started the Crips gang to begin with?

While I am personally opposed to capital punishment– and I am not a Christian– I must say this is not what redemption is about. Redemption begins with acknowledgement of one’s actions, then asking forgiveness.

Williams has done neither. He simply claims not to have committed the crimes for which he was convicted. Nobody is asking on his behalf for a new trial, nor is evidence of his innocence being offered. Nobody seriously claims his innocence. They simply insist he is a better person, presumably for not admitting guilt and asking forgiveness.

Here is the strangest matter in this case: Jesse Jackson puts his energy into pleading for mercy for Williams, and protests the state’s punishment. Yet, in all my years, I have no recollection of Jesse Jackson even once protesting anywhere on behalf of those unquantified victims of Tookie Williams’ legacy of gang violence. He simply dances to the Tookie Williams tune of ignore-my-actions-but-listen-to-what-I-say.

Most of the victims of gang killings are black. Jesse Jackson purports to advocate for the black community, yet he has never, to my knowlege, marched against black-on-black violence anywhere.

For whom, then, is Jesse Jackson an advocate?

Tookie Williams was irritated that the execution took longer than he expected because of problems getting the needle into his arm.

Witnesses and prison officials said Williams appeared to grow impatient as prison staffers searched for several minutes for a vein in his muscular left arm.
“He did seemed frustrated that it didn’t go as quickly as he thought it might,” said San Quentin State Prison Warden.

Whining about several minutes?

Thanks to your lawyers, your liberal Hollywood friends, the tangled justice system, and meddling NGO’s, it took 24 years to get that needle into your arm, you murdering bastard. Twenty-six, if you count from the moment you killed those four people, and even longer than that if you go back to when you founded your gang of destruction.

What’s a few more minutes, Tookie?

The Gates Of Hell are always open, 24 / 7. Walk right in, they’ve been waiting for you a very long time.

TO BRAD: You cowardly slime ball… you “don’t have the time for fighting”??? Thanks for confirming what I already know about you. And, you spend “quality time” with your woman? Sure, I’ll just bet you do….. you meet your brain damaged deformed slut at the arcade, spend your entire 50 cents allowance on her, and then try to rub your puny prick up against her side until you squirt your thimble full of baby batter inside your pants! So, genius, if there are no white people, then just who do all the black people hate? And world traveller, who are you to say who has a hard life or not? How would YOU know, since you are living in a treehouse behind your parents house… world traveller, are you allowed to ride your bike down to the corner store by yourself yet? Brad, just stay up in your tree house, whack your meat and sing sad songs about your bro, Tookie! You total, idiotic halfwit…

Emptyhandkiller, THANK YOU!!! I am glad that you see what a no good piece of crap Brad is!!! I can take time off from work to go knock him out anytime! I will enjoy shattering his jaw with punches, and then choking him like a chicken… I think I will get someone to video the fight. It will be short, but extremely violent and satisfying! I am gonna turn Brad’s fat lying face into raw hamburger…..

Lester,
That was pretty much the best poem I ever read. Did it take you like 2 hours to do it? Emptybrainkiller and nobrainsbuster, are you guys for real? Calling out someone on this blog? Wow, you guys might as well be called dumb and dumber. Regardless of another’s post, challenging someone to a fight is about as 7th grade as you can get? Let me guess, you also go to bars, get stupid drunk, and get beat up all night, right? Why don’t you try out for UFC where the real fighters are, you’d probably last 30 secs.

Yes,—”brainbuster” and “emptyhandkiller” are total morons. They are, by far, the most idiotic dumbfucks who have ever posted on this site. Those two cowards would never say this kind of stuff to anyone’s face: they hide behind their computers instead. Grow some balls, boys! Admit that we as White people are NOT perfect! Everything is NOT the fault of Black people! Stop admiring your own reflections long enough to educate yourselves. . .no, I take that back. . .it’s much more entertaining to watch you two running around in circles chasing your own tails. What a couple of pitiful dickheads.

ARNOLD: You insignificant drop of sweat on an illegal aliens’ anus. I would dearly love to face you in real combat. I would prefer not to knock you out right away. I would torture you, breaking certain bones, rupturing certain organs, that would debilitate you, but not kill you outright. When you were sufficiently helpless, I would skin you alive, like an onion. Once you were skinned, I would roll you in salt. Ahhhh, the glorious screams! I would record your screams, sending a copy to your family to play on holidays, the other to the web, for all to hear! I would long remember the wonderful feeling of my fists crushing the bones in your face….. ecstasy….

HAHAHA, GOOD NEWS HIS ASHES WILL BE SPREAD IN SOUTH AFRICA. I GUESS THAT IS KIND OF LIKE COMPTON. WELL HE WILL BE BACK AT HOME THERE, A AFRICAN CRIP. HE SOULD HAVE STAYED THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. MAYBE LOUIS ‘JIHAD’ FARAKHAN, JESSIE ‘SPIT-IN-THE-SOUP’ JACKSON AND BARBRA ‘HOT-LIPS’ BECNAL WILL LIKE IT SO MUCH THEY WILL STAY IN AFRICA WITH TOOKIE ASHES.

Service for Williams Is Scheduled for Tuesday
The killer was executed at San Quentin this week. His ashes are to be spread in South Africa.

By Anna Gorman, Times Staff Writer

A memorial service for Stanley Tookie Williams, a co-founder of the Crips gang who was executed at San Quentin this week, will be held at a South Los Angeles church Tuesday, organizers said.

The service is scheduled for noon at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and will be officiated by Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, said supporter Jasmyne Cannick. Other participants will include the Rev. Jesse Jackson, recording artist Snoop Dogg and NAACP President Bruce S. Gordon, she said.

Williams, 51, was convicted of murdering four people 26 years ago. He was executed by lethal injection Tuesday, hours after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denied his clemency petition. His case drew international media attention, in part because Williams had become an anti-gang activist and had been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

He requested that his ashes be spread in South Africa. Cannick said his request would be honored.

She said the funeral was a chance for Williams to be remembered as a man who made contributions to the community.

“This is an opportunity for people who knew Mr. Williams, who were friends with Mr. Williams, who respected his work to be able to pay their final respects,” Cannick said.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said officers would be in the area but would not intrude on the service.

“We will monitor it like we would any other large event like this,” said Lt. Paul Vernon. “We don’t anticipate any problems.”

The church, at 7900 S. Western Ave., holds about 1,500 people, organizers said. They said they planned to show the service on screens outside for any overflow crowd.

balbuster……. Thanks for the info!! You know what? I heard that Campbell’s Soup company has hired Spittin’ Jesse for a whole new line of soups, to be called, “Old Time Southern Flavor” soups!!! I can’t WAIT to get a can!!! I heard they taste great with Jesse’s hock of mucous in there!!! As far as Tookie’s ashes go… don’t be surprised if Jesse tosses the ashes out of the limo window on the way to the airport, and still takes the free trip to South Africa!!
And, I heard that after the ceremonies for Tookie, there will be a shotgun shooting contest behind the church! The targets will be white and asian mannequins with bullseyes on their backs! And, I STILL want to beat the crap out of Brad, dontgetit,ARNOLD, and a few other wimps posted in here! KILL KILL KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder IF there is a http://www.stop-the-naacp.org

Comment to no 7: you would not have got the death penalty because you are white. There were alot of murders that year. But Tookie being BLACK was the only who got the death penalty. You would have got off because you are white

ditto to that, man. and tookie set a good example for us all what NOT to do! as far as i am concerned, Tookie wrote one book, his own autobiography. it will be a owners manual for all to see how hateful and twisted a person like he got. four inocent people who were somebodys something who didn’t ask for all the pain suffering and grief he caused. and the gang he formed still leaves the same misery in their wake. a nobel prize? patoowie! job well done Governor! we are safer now.

HE IS GONE. HE PAID FOR HIS CRIMES WITH HIS LIFE. IT IS OVER. LET IT BE.

Enough already!! It’s Christmas. Have some respect. Natasha is absolutely right. It is over. The man is dead. Anyone who continues “partying” over his death is a complete loser. Everybody needs to get a life and move on.

YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT.
