It is nice that he wrote some children's books. His victims are still dead.
There's no evidence that I know of that any child has been prevented from joining a gang, yet his fans continue to state that it has. So what? He still killed in cold blood 4 innocent people. As one commentator (don't remember who) stated on TV, he has admitted to crimes of bulgary and violence........crimes for which he was not tried. The commentator called this admission a "free card".
