Stanley “Tookie” Williams Watch: Jesse Jackson, Bianca Jagger Plead for LIFE
AFP has Jesse Jackson, Bianca Jagger plead for life of US inmate
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and human rights champion Bianca Jagger visited a condemned US inmate and called for celebrity governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to spare his life.
Crips gang co-founder Stanley “Tookie” Williams has redeemed himself writing children’s books during his 25 years in San Quentin State Prison and still denies committing the four murders that landed him on death row, Jackson said.
“The evidence, at best, is shoddy. His reputation as a gang leader was on trial, not the actual evidence of the murders,” Jackson said after he and Jagger walked out of the prison where they visited Williams.
“Not long ago we were told there was evidence of weapons of mass destruction, a slam dunk. We lost American lives on circumstantial information and we should not make that kind of life-or-death decision again.”
Jackson and Jagger decried the case against Williams as based on evidence that included jailhouse “snitches” out to ingratiate themselves with police.
Williams is an African-American man railroaded by a prejudiced judicial system because he couldn’t afford better lawyers, said Jagger, the first wife of famed Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger.
Potential black jurors were kept off the jury that convicted Williams, Jagger said.
Williams has not apologized for the slayings because “he would rather die than lie” and lay claim to crimes he did not commit, Jackson and Jagger said.
“I appeal to governor Schwarzenegger,” Jagger said, her eyes watering and her lips trembling. “You could grant him clemency; change death to life imprisonment without parole.”
Flap wants JUSTICE for the four DEAD MURDERED victims of Williams.
He deserves the “BIG JAB”.

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.

This man should be granted clemancy ! the Crips have murdered & terroized more Black Americans in the past centery then the Klan could even imagen,infact he should be nominated for the nobel peace prize for his either concious or unconcious work reducing crime by Killing off scum!

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.

The world is upside down! How can celebrities such as jesse Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Bianca Jaggar, Susan Sarandon, et al defend an admitted street criminal, co-founder of one of the blood thirstiest gangs in the country AND a convicted murderer? What do I possibly tell my children (12 & 13) as they watch this story un-fold? Do I say that crime is ok as long as you make “ammends”? Do I tell them that it is alright to kill innocent victims in cold blood, but not alright to use lethal injection on the perpetrators? Do I tell them that “crime pays”, that if you are a smart enough murderer you may be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? I am sick to death of the bleeding hearts making my job as a parent even more difficult, where is the sanity? Pop icons defending the indefensible in front of a media gone stark raving mad, mocking our criminal justice system. “Dad, what is a nobel Peace Prize”? “do you have to kill someone to get one”?

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.

Do you suppose that if I, being white, had gunned down a black family, as Tookie has been convicted of doing, and was going to be executed would have these same people trying to get my sorry ass saved? I DON’T THINK SO.

Thank you for your correspondence regarding Stanley Williams.
There is a court order currently in place that calls for Mr. Williams
to be executed by the State of California on December 13, 2005, and
Mr. Williams has, through his attorneys, expressed his desire for the
Governor to grant him clemency in this matter.
Capital punishment is an issue about which many people hold strong
and impassioned views, and Governor Schwarzenegger appreciates you
taking the time to express yours with regard to Mr. Williams. Your
correspondence will be given due consideration during the clemency
process.
Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely,

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.

Your long winded spiel was all about poor Mr. Williams. Now lets hear your spiel about the poor victim. Go on…I promise I won’t cry. I had a hellava laughing jag on all the while I was reading your bleeding heart sermon….I’m still…Ha ha….not over it.

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?
albeej
Arnetta? Do you sit in the same pew with precious? I get all choked-up inside reading your text. This poor misunderstood man. His understanding of pain and the sharing of this feeling to young children through his book(s). Hogwash! Neither you or precious will attempt to speak out for the victim. Why? Because it would expose your hypocrisy.
You yourself said that you believe that only God can give or take a life, right?
Williams took a life and a jury of his peers want to take his. That my dear Arnetta is justice.”Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that
are God’s.”
If this isn’t plain enough, I’ll spell it out for you bleeding hearts:God does not enter into the laws of California(Caesars’things) The man should be put to death. If your concerned about Williams’ redemption ( God’s things), if he is truly sorry for his actions, I’m sure that God will find a special place in heaven for him…..as soon as the medical doctor has determined that his heart has stopped beating.

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.

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.

It’s time for Stanley Williams to pay the piper. I live in Compton, Susan Sarandon,
Jessie Jackson and other supporter of this monster do not. I see his legacy every day. He can claim racism or whatever, it does not matter this no good man needs to pay for his crimes against humanity.
In these children books he writes, does he talk about all the children rotting in their graves today because of him?

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.

Whether you are the most disgusting gang-member alive or the most wonderful citizen alive, I hope you experience justice in this country. And if you are arrested and brought to court for a crime you did not commit, I hope your judge is not a racist. I hope you are given a jury of your peers. I hope you can afford a brilliant defense attorney. I hope your past mistakes are not used against you to convict you of a crime you did not do in the present. And if you are convicted and sentenced to die for a crime you did not commit, I hope someone, ANYONE is brave enough to stand up for you and try to save your life! This is the right of every American. And this is Tookie’s right, also. JUSTICE FOR TOOKIE! JUSTICE FOR ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLE! Peace.

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 have mixed feelings about the death penalty. If in-fact Mr. Williams did the crimes he was accused of at trial then he does indeed deserve the death penalty. However, if he was convicted using hear-say evidence I feel that he should be granted Life-in-prison instead. Now let me clarify what I mean by hear-say: If the only witnesses against Mr. Williams were also hardened criminals who had everything to gain by testifying against him then I think the trial may have not been up to The American Justice System’s standards. You cannot believe the testiomony of these criminals. I am not familiar to a great degree with the entire case against Mr. Williams and I would like to know more. I do know that one of the witnesses was beat up by the LA Police and said he would of told them anything.
My questions are not about if or why the death penalty is the right thing to do. I think that after you die… well, we will let God sort that out.
I do however question why the Jury was not his peers [African-American community members of the Compton La area]. Where were these Jury members chosen from? There was a majority of white people in Compton in the 70’s? Are these jury members familiar with who Mr. Williams was? Have the Jury members been unfairly slandered against Mr. Williams with sensational media spin about his gang activity (true or not)? Were the jury members informed that the witnesses were also criminals that would be given leniency?
If any of this is starting to make you wonder; then if I was governor I would want to know these things and I would base my descision not on the celebrity hype but the facts of the trial. If the trial was concrete and the jury was fair and a true representation of Mr. Williams peers then I would allow the execution to go forward. If not then maybe he deserves Clemency.
Btw. I am white.

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

Tookie, like all scumbags, only finds the true path after taking someone else’s life and then finding themselves on deathrow. In the haste of the chase of the spotlight, washed up celebs plea for the life of these turds and completely forget the victims in the case. Al Sharpton, please, and Jesse “got bastards?” Jackson jump in the spot as well. Nobody cares about either of them or their opinions. I believe my opinion is every bit as important as a preacher who has known the pleasures of extra marital affairs. What makes the opinion of an idiot like Snoop Dog, another waste of skin, any more important than those of the victims families left behind? What about them Snoop?
Markella
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 save his life wich is already dead so let him live out his life behind bars

We all have choices in life. We are also aware of law. Stanley Williams made a choice in 1979 to kill four INNOCENT UNARMED people just trying to make living. The law in California is death for the types of crimes this man committed. He knew that.
As far as this so called redemption, he has never apologized or admitted to committing these cold blooded murders. Williams has not even tried to help the police to solve other unsolved gang murders that he knows about. That would be true redemption. If he would just apologize, admit his crimes, and help to solve other murders, I think the hearts of some people would soften toward him.

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.

Lets put it this way, he (Williams) is on death row for the murder of 4 people. He has not caught a break from the most liberal court in the United States. Nothing else matters. In life for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. Time for his reality of opposite reaction which is to be put to death (much more humanely than his victims I may add.) He has had 24 more years than those he chose to murder.
peter
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.
Telly
Here’s an idea about the Death Penalty. In some other countries, here’s how it works. Once somebody is tried and convicted of a murder, the FAMILY of the victim gets to decide the convicted person’s punishment. Oh yeah!!! That’s right, man. So they get to decide if the convicted guy gets life in prison, or death. And if they chose death, they get to decide what kind of death: firing-squad, electrocution, gas-chamber, burning-at-the-stake, being dragged-to-death behind a bunch of horses, drowning, hanging, stoning, or even the ultimate—crucifixion!! And another thing–the convicted man has ONE chance to appeal, and only ONE year in which to do it. Then he’s DEAD!! And nobody is able to “buy” there way off Death Row the way rich people do here in America. Now THAT is the way the Death Penalty should be! The way it is here is America, it is totally flawed, it takes too long, costs too much and the victim’s families have to wait for years to get their revenge and satisfaction. It doesn’t teach anybody anything, except that if you’re rich enough ( like O.J. and Robert Blake ) you can literally get away with murder.

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!

This guy is a racist murderer. The prosecuter in the case is not racist if he didn’t want black people on the jury, because people tend to sympathize more with people of their own race. That is just obvious. Tookie is a racist, or at least used to be. He claimed to have killed one of the victims because he was white. Yes, he wrote some kids books. Yes, Jamie Fox(Gods gift to acting) played him in a movie and wants him to be spared. But none of his supporters are focusing on the facts of the case. They are just screaming racism and bringing up all kinds of nonsense just to get him of the hook. I just can’t wait till December 13th when I can celebrate that I am alive and enjoying life and this guy is dead. Hopefully everyone will forget about him soon.

Stan Tookie Williams has accomplished a lot since being in prison… the books, the movie deals, etc. What else did he have to do in there? He did these things for his own means, the attention, the special privileges and meeting movie stars among them.
He still hasn’t admitted to what he did, he has helped no authority with information about gangs or other crimes. He says that would be snitching and his new life is about doing good, not hurting others. What a load of dung.
It’s time for Tookie to say goodbye. He had time in life to make his mark and say his farewells, to provide for his family. The people he hurt did not have that luxury.
It’s time for Tookie to die!
P.S. Jamie Foxx start helping people who deserve it, you stupid racist jerk.

every person deserves a chance to change their wrongs on earth once they become conscious of their true purpose. it’s taught in many religions under the title of repentance, which in many religions gives you forgiveness or clemency by GOD… drug dealers turned businessmen (urban to suburban), corporate thieves who steal peoples pentions turned teachers, prostitutes turned psychologists, ku klux klan wizards turned politician — everyone should get the chance to be truly better people in their existence. now, i don’t condone gang violence or ignorant acts of disrespect from or toward any person regardless of color at all, but Tookie has definitely changed his life for the greater good. he is now a positive individual reaching right back to the same streets where the new kids roam. he grabs their ears, he grabs their eyes, he’s monumental in the community and he’s relevant in the present day. you can’t ask for more than that. it started out rough, but he found his way. how many of us have done that? not many.

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.

Sell all your beatles and John Lennon records, take the money and get some help…it’s obvious you can’t help yourself.
In the meantime, stay out of politics and current events. The real-world events like the tookie williams affair might upset your delicate condition and cause you real harm.
And lastly, be brave when the medical doctor inserts the IV into that murdering creeps forearm.

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?
