Jem, I haven't heard or read about any rioting but i did see a flash of a picture of what seemed like hundreds of people rallying in support of Tookie. bevlar's right - we should disect these people to see what 's inside!
I learned today that on his birth certificate, Tookie's middle name really is "Tookie". No one to date has ever mentioned anything about his having a mother and/or father somewhere out there.
