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

[Allecto]

His supporters still claim it was an all-white jury, Senorita. A lot of the propaganda they buried Californians with was spreading the lie that somehow if Tookie died, then it would make it legal to keep minorities off of juries just because of race. Like that even makes sense... but a lot of people bought in to it.

The most disgusting thing for me was that the founder of the frigging CRIPS went to his grave insisting he was guiltless of any crimes, and wholly unapologetic for the lives he took and the uncounted families his gang destroyed.

*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...

[senorita02]

Well i heard this morning in the radio that yes there was a black juror but Tookie didnt think he looked black so he wasn't buying, LOL
Im Armenian and you would never guess it by just looking at me.
And again i dont understand why race is an issue when u are a juror, its about evidence not what color or Nationality you are. Shouldnt we all believe in the same right or wrong??

[JenBKR]

Had it been a white person, with an all black jury, it would not have been an issue of race. He was guilty, race has nothing to do with it.

Listen to the story about who he dedicated one of his books to..
Some idiot who was going to trial, and on the day of the hearing his brother breaks into court with a machine gun to try and free him.

A lawyer is paralyzed from a cop bullet during the shoot out and the judge in the trial is killed with a blast from a shot gun taped to his head. The brother was killed later on.

The original idiot was later killed in San Quentin during one of the worst days of prison violence in their history.....3 guards and three inmates died that day.

If you are that repentant, why acknowledge another moron in a book you 'wrote' to end violence????

Actually, race does matter in a jury. I work for a litigation consulting company with a bunch of Ph.D.s who study this kind of stuff, juries specifically. We do mock trials all over the country on actual cases.

Theoretically, if there were more black people on the jury, they more than likely would have sided with "Tookie." You would be surprised at how people of certain races will dismiss evidence and come up with the most bogus excuses. Race, education, occupation, age, etc. all play a roll. Tookie should have had his lawyer pick a better jury with more black people on it.

I'm not really sure I know where I stand on capital punishment, but I do know that his victims didn't get a second chance, so why should he. I'm just glad I wasn't the one who was a) affected by his crime or b) the one who ultimately had to decide his fate.

My whole family think he got what he desuved.
