To answer your question ... no.
I will be surprised when Scott Peterson is about to be executed if these hollyweird people but up as much fuss.

Makes one wonder how many murders he committed and was never linked to.

Tookie Williams was the co-founder of one of the most violent street gangs in history, The Crips. The Crips are responsible for many murders, robberies, and rapes. They have destroyed many young peoples lives in the process of their mayhem. As a co-founder of the Crips, shouldn't Tookie Willams share some of that responsibility ?

I had the same thought. How many people have the Crips murdered? Hundreds, I'd wager, the vast majority of whom were black. I guess that doesn't bother Jamie Foxx or Jesse Jackson.

One can make the argument that as a founding member of the Crips, Williams bears responsibility for the thousands of murders the Crips have committed over the years.

This is true, but remember that Williams was a prominent member of the Crips from 1971 to 1979.

Only a fool could think that Williams was not involved in any other murders before the 1979 killings of which he was convicted.

One cannot become a gangleader in a city like Los Angeles without committing or planning the murder of rivals.

Tookie never apologized or atoned for what he had done.

Instead he spent 20 plus years trying to game the system.

Here is the history of a mass murderer who actually repented of his crimes, and chose to atone for them.

His name was Steven Renfro.

Steven's parents separated shortly after he was born and his father lost touch with both the mother and son for about 35 years. Steven's grandmother located Steven and reconciled him with with his father.

Steven was raised by his aunt, Rose Rutledge, near Marshall, Texas. He went to high school with Rick Berry, a Harrison County district attorney who later prosecuted Steven.

On August 25, 1996, after taking what he later told authorities were 70 doses of the tranquilizer Valium along with liquor, Steven put on camouflage clothing, blackened his face and armed himself with four guns including a military assault rifle and some 500 rounds of ammunition.

He shot and killed his live-in girlfriend, Rhena Fultner, 36, then Aunt Rose Rutledge, 63, who lived with them. Then he went to a nearby trailer home of an acquaintance, George Counts, 40, against whom he had a grudge, and fatally shot him, firing more than 150 rounds into Counts' mobile home.

When police arrived, he opened fire again, wounding Marshall police officer Dominic Pondant in the shoulder and turning his patrol car "into Swiss cheese," as authorities described it. Police were out gunned by Steven's .45 and .50 caliber handguns and an AR-15 rifle, but one of his weapons malfunctioned and officer Pondant was able to hit Steven.

He was convicted the following April and ended his trail by telling jurors he should be put to death. They agreed.

He asked that no appeals be pursued. At his execution, he apologized to the family members of the victims and said a prayer.

He was executed on February 9, 1998, after spending the second shortest time on Texas' death row.

The media and Hollywood celebrities were conspicuous by their absence.

We hold gun manufacturers responsible when someone kills or seriously injures someone with a firearm

Um, no. We hold the shooter responsible.
