Tookie??

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

one lady said "he is the sweetest man to ever live" or something like that.

Oh yeah I'm sure he was!! Anyone could "act" that way while trapped behind bars.

I think it is pathetic how people are worshiping him as some saint because of a few children's books... that will never make the impact that will come close to the impact the crips are still making today.

And Snoop Dog... it was just disgusting to see he was there... supporting him I guess.... In his recent song "I keep a blue flag hangin out my backside - but only on the left side - yeah thats the crip side". And your a former gang member right Snoop?!?

The only "impact" Tookie has that will live on is the the violent gang he helped found............

With all the energy the celebrities are putting into supporting him.... they should put that energy into fighting against gang violence and innocent victems families.

So Snoop was a Crip member? (i just read that on msn) What does that song mean? sorry i just dont understand? LOL
And yes the thing that had me so angry was once again these hollwood stars came out to support him , im so sick of them trying to get involved in everything, they ought to stick to their acting singing etc.

I haven't really kept up with it much, so I don't know a whole lot about it. I think hollywood should keep their mouths shut though, they think that people actually care about their opinions

who cares about this dumb thug...i am sick of hearing his stupid name and seeing his face...he killed 4 innocent people, let him get whatever is coming to him

He says he is a former member - but his lyrics suggest otherwise.


the lyrics that I posted just means he keeps his blue bandana (the crips color) hanging in his back pocket of his pants so people will know who he is with....

Mr. Williams was to blame for a lot more than 4 deaths. The sickening thing is that many of his supporters and him were not trying to get clemency, but a complete pardon without prejudice. He and many of his supporters still expected for him to be set free, not just allowed life in prison. Given the choice between life as a free man and death, I am glad the Governator finally made a right choice!

I heard someone on tv saying that it's a race issue, and he was being executed for being black. HELLO? I may not have followed the whole thing much, but I at least understood what it was about!

You see, in Cali, getting a 'celebrity' to play the race card for you will usually get you out of a whole lot of trouble. Our higher-ups would rather make monstrous, humiliating blunders than risk looking un-pc for a moment.

Im sure everyones sick of hearing about it but i also heard on the radio this morning that Tookie (whatever his stupid name is) was upset after his trial because one of the African American Jurors who found him guilty did not look black according to Tookie, and wanted them to retry him with a different juror, as if it mattered what color the juror was, they found out the juror was from the Phillipines and Tookies insisted he was not black even though he was, and now the juror is deceased (since it was in 1979) and sure enough on his death certificate it states him as African American.
I am tired of hearing it was a race issue too, im pretty sure it doesnt matter what color you are what matters is your a murderer.

As if, if the juror was African American (To his standards) he was going to suddenly excuse Tookie and find him innocent, LOL

*Laugh* That is so true.

He did the crimes knowing the death penalty could be carried out. As it was, he had 26 years more on earth than the ones he killed.

We would have prisons full of "reformed" thugs and murderers if he had gotten off; all trying to get off too. Anyone can be an angel if it will get their butt out of trouble!

Ah, I see Well, I'm glad that they didn't win this time, although I am not entirely sure where I stand on the death penalty...

My whole family think he got what he desuved.

I won't get started on the whole subject but lets just say Richard's response was mild compared to my thoughts. Needless to say I agree with all of you here so far.
