Setting the appropriate back drop.....

Maxine Watters will promote racial violence with her every breath.

[jess35]

Personally, I hope they riot and burn down their neighborhoods again.

Will Arnie succumb to the Democrat version of winning the war on Terrorism?

[Gordongekko909]

Jesse Jackson says: "Please, do not riot."

[Roverman2K]

All they are doing is trying to find an excuse to riot, so that they can loot, NO made them all jealous.
I am serious...

I say we bring out the three strikes rule against LA if it riots again. This time they should be kicked out of the US.

If Tookie is so influential a peacemaker why can't he "urge" peace in the event of his execution and have the gangsters abide by his request?

[FreeAtlanta]

We need to get out of the quagmire that is Los Angeles.

[Spok]

Even if Arnold declines clemency, I'm betting that someone will stop the execution, probably another federal writ, and this will just drag on the way they all do in California.

[marron]

threats of civil unrest have prompted the council members and representatives from the city and county human relations commissions to ask religious leaders to emphasize a message of peace during weekend services.

They are worried that Christians are going to rampage up and down the boulevard burning down the city if a gangster is executed.

In the words of the philosopher, are they are crack?

I would state my objections to his clemency by posting links to outside news and crime scene photos regarding Tookie and his poor victims, but apparently the FR moderators that be have decided that no such criticism or even links to such news shall be allowed here. - Much like the DU.

All of us Freepers are free to talk, but do not show facts here.

Unless you support Tookie, that is.

[Joe 6-pack]

The black community of LA should be ashamed of itself. At least open anarchy has a raw honesty driving its goals and ambitions.

I'm not really sure what you might call a situation where a community has laws on the books and elected leaders, but the leaders have to beg the led to obey the law prior to enforcing it.

A subtle way of telling folks a riot could reap a financial windfall about now, and here's your reason.

[boomop1]

What is this s*** Rodney King replay, if the Terminator doesn't just that, he will be history as far as reelection chances.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I predicted a riot over this two weeks ago when Snoop Dog was out inciting the masses.

[captnorb]

Is it true that "tookie's" son is in prison for murder?

[sgtbono2002]

Just abother excuse to riot. You would be surprised how many people will be dissappointed if they dont get this opportunity. They dont care about Tookie any more than the rioters cared about Dr. Martin Luther King. Its just another excuse to loot.

South LA is about to have another bar-b-q, I'm glad I don't live there.
