If Tookie had been a white boy who founded a violent Aryan or KKK gang and murdered several black people, there would be no celebrities coming to his defense...and if any did, they would be labelled racists.

But because Tookie is black, founded the Crips, and killed Asians, anyone who wants to see him pay for his crimes is a "racist."

Welcome to Liberal Doublethink.

Foxx is not alone. An unusually varied collection of Hollywood stars and other famous names is trying to persuade Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that Williams - who has become a celebrity in his own right - can do more for society alive than dead

Probably applies to most of us.

There are NO perps in CA, only VICTIMS responding involuntarily to society's inequities, on other VICTIMS.

IMO the "TOOK" will live long and prosper, while all of those that died by his hand rot in their graves while their loved ones mourn.

You raise a good point. However, if those that say there is no intelligent design to the universe are correct then they don't have any intrinsic value. Their lives were meaningless and without purpose, arbitrary, mere accidents of random chance. Tookie was just practicing some social Darwinism, as would be expected.
