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”.

Tookie Williams deserves to die if for no other reason than that he founded a gang which has spread violence and hate all across the United States in the last 24 years. This makes him (IMO) ultimately responsible for all gang-related Crips murders done in the last 24 years….a conspirator, if you will. It is because of him that thousands of our youngsters in all large metropolitan areas, and many smaller ones, wear “colors” and purpetrate a multitude of crimes in the name of the Crips. The man is the FATHER of gang violence!
I find it offensive that a man like that can say he should be commuted to life because he wrote a couple children’s books while in prison. So what? He had nothing else to do….after all, he couldn’t be out on the street robbing and shooting, so he decided to pen a children’s book or two. Boooo hoooo. He’s a murderer, with 4 murders to his personal credit, and thousands more that his proud gang has purpetrated since it’s inception. He’s old now, and understands mortality, where the young and vicious do not. Most people don’t really understand the concept of mortality being permanent until someone they care for dies, or they find themselves on the business end of the needle, or in a prison cell for life…..it’s only THEN that life becomes precious.
So, even if his trial was bogus, he should die for the founding of a criminal dynasty, if nothing else. As for has-been and about to be has-been celebrities touting his supposed innocence….screw ’em. Their fifteen minutes of fame is near expiration, and I won’t be sorry to see a bunch of liberal idiots go the way of the dinosaurs. It’s time we made the death penalty in this country a REAL deterrent, i.e., you get one appeal, then it’s a date with the executioner, not a 20 year stay on death row.
Libby
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
I don’t need your approval, “albeej”. I don’t need you to agree with me. I am just as entitled to my opinion as you are. Why are you so threatened by my philosophy of peace? Why don’t you just have your opinions and allow others to have theirs? You are wasting your life living in a constant state of competition and anger. I believe in justice and peace. Why that bothers you is a mystery to me. It does not bother me that you believe in violence and revenge in the Tookie Williams case. You can think what you want. And so can I. Freedom of opinion is one of the things that makes our country so great. Or have you forgotten that? You need to study American history. It will open your eyes and change your life. But I’m pretty sure you will not do any historical research. You will just post more insults and nastiness to hide your insecurity and fear. What a waste.
julia
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.
Conan The Republican
As Michael Savage so eloquently put it: “Liberalism is a mental disorder”.
Only the perenially liberal mentally-ill would even think of sparing a piece of human swill like “Tookie”. (What the hell is a “Tookie” anyway? – but I digress). Oh, and by the way, is there any way to just hook this untermensch up with Mumia Abu Jamal on the same IV drip? And a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE? My God, Rigoberta Menchu got wunna those, and the big story that never came out was, that that piece of human offal threw acid in a Guatemalan police officer’s face, prior to receiving her “prize”! Yeah, just try and find THAT story on the web. HA! EXPUNGED from the earth. The loony left can’t die off soon enough for Conan.
I have spoken…
Rene
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.
albeej
James and Julia would be singing a different tune if it were their parents that were wasted by that piece of fecal matter(Williams)
You could bet your own life on that too. They would be in here opining the same things I’m saying now and have been saying all along.
At least I don’t have to have a dead rock star doing my thinking for me. I’m sickened almost to death with you psuedo pulpit pundits and your bleeding hearts….defending trash like Williams and never once considering the side of the victims and their families;what is happening to them now. How they are coping with the loss.
You people have your opinions(and I say that with tongue in cheek)as well as we do, but your thinking somehow become disjointed. Murder is wrong! If the two of you cant see that, you do need to seek help.
julia
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.
James
I predicted “albeej” would continue to post insults and nastiness–and he did! The truth hurts. But is still the truth. I’ve made my point. Ciao.
albeej
Last time, What about the victims and their families? The two of you avoid the question like the plague.
Kelvin
First off, let me say this to James: “But I’m pretty sure you will not do any historical research. You will just post more insults and nastiness to hide your insecurity and fear. What a waste. ” How can you expect albeej (as petty as I feel he is) to not respond? You take the high road—-then cut him down? Interesting tactic.
Now, onto Tookie. He was convicted of his crimes by a jury of his peers. He repented and wrote children’s books & asked kids to get out of gangs. We’ll still have copies of those books! And then, we can have the ultimate deterence….his death. And I love the comments that say, “only God can decide to take a life or give a life.” Right. So God wanted all those people dead? I’m not sure I can agree with that angle.
As for the scholars that are touting him for the Nobel Peace Prize, could they may be the same ones who agreed with Gloria Steinem when she said that Bill Clinton’s advances on Paula Jones (pulling out his penis and asking her to perform fellatio) were a poorly conceived pick up line, and not sexual harrassment……at least the Norwegian Nobel Committee is smarter than Hollywood and much of our supposed cultural elite.
Adrienne
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!
albeej
Oh, I see! the Judge is corrupt, a Kangaroo court, insufficient evidence and what evidence there was was tampered with. In your eyes, the only one in the courthouse that was uncorrupted was Williams.
Now, I have news for you! Williams never wrote those books in prison. Santa wrote them. You don’t believe me? I don’t blame you. It was just a made-up story, like the crap you been trying to sell us.
dontgetit
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
Russell
Whoever you are “albeej”–you have got to be the dumbest person who has ever posted on this (or any other) site! Quit while you’re still human, you idiot. It is obvious to anyone who bothers to read the trial transcript (I notice you still have not had the decency to do that) that the Tookie Williams trial was a total distaster. He did not have a jury of his peers and the prosecutor and judge were totally unprofessional. “albeej”, I think you are just stupid enough to replace that moron George W. Bush as our next President–all you need is a pair of cowboy boots and a bag full of lies. You’ve clearly already had the lobotomy!!
Rene
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.
Kelvin
Dear Russell and Adrienne,
Kindly put up a link of the trial transcript so we all can read it. I have done some cursory searches but have not been able to find the actual transcript. I don’t want the links to savetookie.com or tookie.org. Those are completely biased, and I don’t want their opinions mixed in with the facts.
And Russell, speaking of lobotomies—what do you mean “He did not have a jury of his peers?” He had a jury trial. That is a jury of your peers. Do you feel that his peers should only be black gang bangers? Or is it not a jury of his peers b/c the prosecuter removed three black jurors from the jury in his ORIGINAL case. How many appeals has he had that still found him guilty?
If you only read the savetookie.com information, you are blinded by their bias.

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).

How is this for Brass Balls. The latest statement:
“You can bet your bottom dollar that between now and Tuesday additional petitions will be filed by Mr. Williams’ attorneys in state and federal court,” he said. “Mr. Williams wants out of prison. This has nothing to do with redemption
Can you beat this? that…bleep…bleep murderer wants out of prison!
Russell
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.
albeej
Cope with me, Russell. Four more days before the state executes that killer. I know your bored…just four more and you will hear no more from me on this subject. However, if the state cops out to media pressure and allows that maggot to live, expect one more opinion from me.
In the meantime,Definitions of Jury of one’s peers on the Web:
A jury is a body of persons convened to render a verdict (finding of fact) on a legal question officially submitted to them, or to set a penalty or judgement in a jury trial of a court of law.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_of_one’s_peers
You don’t need people of specific color or persuasion as part of a jury.
Lastly, my only ambition concerning this matter is to do everything in my power to get this killer executed. I don’t want to see another OJ fiasco repeated. That is why I wrote the Governor asking him to deny clemancy, writing my opinons in various blogs and writing letters to the editors of local newspapers in my area.
As for your poison keys…you couldn’t provoke me into reciprocal vehement personal attacks because when that occurs dialogue disintegrates and nothing intelligent follows.
Russell
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.
albeej
I told you nothing intelligent would follow. Lawyer!? Shithouse lawyer is more like it.
Mike
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.
albeej
The selection of Williams jury was agreed upon by his defence lawyer(s). That jury found him guilty and sentenced him to die….period!
Mike
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.
albeej
In my last opinion I said…..”period”
You have nothing more to say concerning the Williams case, therefore, no opinion of mine is necessary.
anna
Good, does that mean you’re going to shut-up, “albeej”? Excellent. Free Tookie! Free Tookie! Free Tookie!
Jack
I read all the comments. And everybody is right in someway. Some forget the victims, other forget possible failures during the trial. And there were definatly some with just wrong opinions (comment 2) and some who should learn how to discuss.
But in the end isn’t it that four people got murdered for no reason. Four humans who surely planned their lives a different way died.
But also nobody can say he (Williams) killed those people. Nobody was there at the moment. Except the murderer. No trial, how fair it might be, can prove it a 100%.
So now there should be another killed person?
It won’t help the relatives of the victims nor anybody else.
If he commited the crime he will suffer till the end of his live and even after that.
If he didn’t commit the crime then our system already went the wrong way before.
In the end really nobody ever has the right to take away live, although I really understand the feelings of relatives of crime victims. But revenge doesn’t help and won’t make anybody alive again.
AMF
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.
albeej
Lets not give Williams credit for “writing” the four books. The real author is Barbara Cottman Becnel. Her name is on all four of them. She will probably write one more book after he is planted. Most likely the title will be “Free at last”.

Tookie Williams had no qualms about issuing the sentence-of-death upon his victims. He believes in the death penalty – except that his victims were not worthy of death, having not committed any crime. Suddenly, he opposes it? Convenient!

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!!
Mike
So let me get this straight.. If I go kill 4 people with a shotgun, start a gang responsible for countless deaths and crimes, but then I write some children’s books, everything is ok? Are you kidding me? I am so happy to hear that Tookie is going to die. It’s about 20 years overdue. I think Arnold should kill Tookie himself, Conan the Barbarian style with a sword. Ok, just kidding about that, but seriously, if you think Tookie deserves to live another second you are an idiot. Go Arnold!
TookieKiller
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
Steve m.
Typical liberal response written below by Jagger…blame it on the race-card. Blame it on a botched legal system. Blame it on everything except don’t dare blame the killings on TOOKIE. Heavens forbid, my gosh then, who did KILL these four innocent people. Maybe they were all in the wrong place at the wrong time, stupid them. Is it maybe too much of a coincident to be a coincident? I think so. GUILTY AS CHARGED! Take your desructive street gang members to hell with you, Tookie! 12:01AM Count! -1 on Death Row…+1 in Hell…Count is clear! Count is clear! America is safer. Thanks Arnold, job well done. GETER DONE!!!
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.
Justin
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.
Wakemeup
Stanley “Tookie” Williams was a very evil man. In addition to the cold-blooded murders he committed he helped to raise a whole army of cold, evil people who have murdered and foisted drugs upon our young people. Unfortunately, this evil will continue long after his death, through the infamous crips (no capital letter there on purpose). If, in fact, he has repented, let his savior forgive him because we will not. He should have been put to death years ago. As for Jesse Jackson, Bianca Jagger, and the other bleeding hearts, they are always around if there is a camera presentand are not people to be taken seriously.
Why is it many forget the victims in these cases, that is where the love and compassion is needed
john
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?

Forget the fact that the crip’s basicaly only kill blacks. Not whites, not hispanics (well, maybe a few hispanics who are stupid enough to try and sell drugs in crips turf)only blacks. So jesse is supporting the rights of a asswipe who has DIRECTLY/INDIRECTLY caused the deaths of a shitload of his own people. jesse,,, if you allow vicious humans like this into your inner-circle, your doomed. If their dead, moron boy, they can’t vote for you. Oh, bye the way…. I just viewed the awesome porno of jesse plowing condoleeza rice up the ass. Amazing what they can do with computers. I know it’s fake, but it sure was funny.The best part was when CR started to cum, and was screaming”George,Jesse,George,Dick!!!!!! She didn’t know who was fucking her!!! Geeze, I hope that’s not reality. And then of course, maybe somebody jusy made it all up.

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!

Here’s the question I have for all of these African American stars and politicians backing Tookie- Do you really know tookie or do you know only that Tookie is black? Hey Jamie Fox and Jesse Jackson, do you know that twenty years ago Tookie would have blown your head off for a gold watch, and laughed about, and then denied that he ever committed the crime after he was caught, and put on death row. So long that you were white that is… So long Tookie, you gave it a good go, but unfortunately for you, you still haven’t grown enough emotionally to look at yourself in the mirror. Fascinating really…

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