Several gang members in Los Angeles, some known for statements of braggadocio, said they are going to riot if the scheduled execution takes place.

“Took die, the city fry,” said Raymond “The Hatchet Man” Locket, a member of the West Side Harlem Crips, who says he knew Tookie back in the day. “That’s the word on the streets.”

[Cougar66]

Not sure if this was posted yet. Yeah, it sure looks like Tookie has changed so many people. They cant wait to riot.

Now, now, Raymond.

Sit down over there in the corner with this book and read quietly to yourself.

Uhh, raymond can't read. ;-)

“Took die, the city fry”

Lootie here wants in on some of that action.

[Cougar66]

Is that the book? The white kid is actually on the cover?? lol

[NavVet]

Why would a current gang member be supporting Tookie, hasn't he renounced their lifestyle.

[Jigsaw John]

Riot? You won't see any riot over this murderer. You heard it here first.

Is that the book? The white kid is actually on the cover?? lol

"...who says he knew Tookie back in the day."

This attempt at Ebonics amuses me.

Straight outta Compton, yo!

I don't think this is what Martin Luther King had in mind. He was for civil rights, not uncivil riots. From welfare, kids out of wedlock, abortion, gangsta rap, and drugs, the inner city has sown many seeds of destruction. Hopefully they will look to the true Savior, the only hope for the inner, middle, or outer city.

“I believe the core of it is an embedded sense of self-hate. What I mean by that is, an individual who has been spoon-fed so many derogatory images of his race will, after a period of time, start to believe those images. The images I’m talking about are stereotypes that depict the majority of blacks as being buffoons, functional illiterates, violent and promiscuous, welfare recipients, indolent criminals. Unfortunately, too many black people have been brainwashed into believing these stereotypes . . . So you end up lashing out at the individuals [gang members] that you consider to be part of those stereotypes. In desperation, you’re trying to obliterate that negative image to rid yourself of this self-hate monster that subconsciously stalks you.”

He's just writing bullsh*t that he knows will appeal to guilty white Leftists.

[calljack]

He will be dead in a few days?

[farlander]

Well, I'm sure the good (armed) citizens of those areas have taken the riot warning seriously, and have locked and loaded. Bring it!

[johnmecainrino]

Arnold is a lefty in many areas but he is a conservative when it comes to law and order.

Arnold will bring justice to the victims.

Tookie has never said he was sorry. Arnold stands for courage in areas like this.

[GeronL]

Tookie never said he was sorry, never helped the cops stop the killings, never expressed remorse. He is NOT a changed person

[GeronL]

Tookie, hasn't he renounced their lifestyle

No, he hasn't. He never apologized, expressed remorse or even stopped giving orders to his gang by phone apparently

[beaversmom]

Nothing like a good reason to riot and loot.

[Beckwith]

ANY Nothing like a good. reason to riot and loot

[goldstategop]

Yeah just like in '92, eh? A murderer's execution is a civil rights violation. Sheesh...

On December 14, nobody will care about Tookie except for his victims families
