In jail the gang leader has authored children’s books that preach non-violence; gained the support of celebrities and politicians; been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize; and become the subject of a TV movie starring Jamie Foxx.

I have heard variations of this phrase at least a dozen times in the last week.

Not once have I heard a word about the victims.

Shotgun blasts to the head and torso. One whole family killed while helpless so that the noted humanitarian Tookie would leave no witnesses.

A skinny runt playing bulked up hulk, could it be to protray Williams as normal person?

No no no no no no no NO!!!! You just don't understand! TOOKIE IS THE VICTIM!!! You see, the evil one here is society, and the justice system! If not for society, Tookie wouldn't have been forced to kill those people... Or start the gang... In fact, I'll bet that those people he killed were part of society, so they must have deserved getting killed! In fact, I'll bet they made him kill them! Yeah, that's it! It's their fault that Tookie's on death row! If they wouldn't have died, he wouldn't be on death row! It's all THEIR fault!

...gained the support of celebrities and politicians...

I was fascinated to hear Snoop Dog say that Tookie "is our Martin Luther King."

How sick is that...

ABC radio has reported that he was "nominated 6 times", their emphasis was on the 6!

Yep. Its all about HIM. Pretty crass, when you stop to think about it. We have no proof he's been redeemed and if you take the word of a San Quentin Death Row inmate, I've got a bridge to Alcatraz to sell you.
