And now you know the rest of the story. Good day.
LOL!
Shoes come in pairs. . .socks. . .gloves. . .and yes, twins in a manner of speaking. . .
Sounds like Poetic Justice to me.
Even from within prison the specter of death surrounds Tookie. Looking forward to him being yesterday's news and to January's murder-for-hire execution.
Sh** happens.
While my heartfelt sympathy goes to their families, I still have to say the irony of this is indiscribable.
Sign me up for autographed copies of his children's books.
Not.
ironic.
We must be careful not to zealously condemn the perpetrator of this crime. The perp may have the potential of becoming a future Nobel prize candidate.
Poet Laureate
It is a shame for the loss of life.
But, live by the sword...
| RICHMOND — Almost four years ago, Venus Noble watched nephew Chance Grundy die after he was shot and killed in West Oakland. Now tragedy has struck the anti-violence activist again, and closer to home. On Saturday, just before noon, Noble's 20-year-old son, Elliot Jamar Noble, was shot and killed, and another son, 22-year-old Larrie Noble Jr., was wounded. He was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek and remains in serious condition. The brothers attended a rally for death row inmate Stanley "Tookie" Williams earlier that morning but were on the Richmond Parkway at Pittsburg Avenue in unincorporated North Richmond when shot, said Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jimmy Lee. Investigators have no suspects. "Right now it's a wide-open investigation, and we're still trying to establish an exact motive," Lee said. "They had just left a rally at San Quentin for Tookie Williams,but how they ended up where they were,we don't know." Venus Noble said she heard they might have been going to a music studio in Richmond but does not know for sure. Noble has worked for years to bring attention — and to try to find ways to end — the violence in Oakland's African-American communities, where young, black men are dying at a high rate, often at the hands of other young, black men. But even she could not shield her sons. "My family is going through hell," a stunned Noble said Monday. "Larrie Jr., he's going to make it, but he isn't all right. He may lose his sight in his left eye. "It makes me all that more determined," she said. "I will continue on, especially coming out against violence, stupidity and street gangs. I know Elliot was proud that I stood up against this stuff, even if he didn't always like (me nagging him). He never had a police record, graduated school at 16. I'll miss my son." Another young man died in Richmond on Saturday. Kevin Gardere Jr., 21, was shot and killed at 11:52 p.m. in a hail of gunfire while he and two friends worked on a disabled GMC Yukon parked on Carlson Boulevard and South 47th Street, said Richmond police Lt. Alec Griffin. They all dived to the ground, and Gardere's friends were not hit. "There are so many shell casings, it's hard to tell if he was even the intended target or not," Griffin said. "We haven't made much headway on the case."
Anyone with information about the Noble case should contact the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department at (925) 313-2600. Anyone with information about the Gardere case should contact the Richmond Police Department at 620-6622. Richmond California is a hell hole. |
I'm sure the moron, "Tookie," would approve.
A pair of brothers was shot?
Is that not supposed to be were shot?
Yet, somehow, this will be portrayed as a genocidal scheme of white people.
Or it's Bush's fault.
I am just so tired of this "blame everybody else" thing that we see so often in the minority communities.
sure they were brothers, but were they related?
I'm starting to believe in Karma.
