Yesterday on my way home from work I was listening to the John and Ken show on AM 640 KFI Los Angeles.
They were interviewing someone (I forget his name) that was supposed to have been one of the original two co-founders of the Crips in 1968.
He says he is the one who recruited Tookie into the Crips in 1971. That Tookie is not a co-founder or even one of the original Crips. That this is a lie Tookie tells (among many) to create his false bona-fides. He also claims that Tookie, besides being a liar and a cold-blooded murderer, is also a pedophile. He said that the governor should not commute the death sentence. He said Tookie should die.
According to this person, he left the gang after he started working out at Golds gym. That while working at Golds gym he met Arnold who had just won his third (?) Mr. Universe title.
Apparantly, he had been working on helping Tookie with lifting weights as an alternative to gang-banging, and even introduced Tookie to the Governor back in 70-71. But apparantly tookie decided not to continue training with them and six months later was in jail for the murders he now faces death for.
It was a very interesting interview. If this guy is to be believed it further testifies to Tookies duplicity. It also raises some questions as to how it may affect Arnolds thinking concerning a commutation, since he has met Tookie before and was apparantley immpressed with his body-building.
eys! I hadn't thought about that, the Body Building connection.
"I don't vant to talk about yooah case, I oonly vant to ahsk yoou about zee body building."
