It was apparently a bit slow. They took about 12 minuts to find suitable veins. That still leaves about 20 minutes for him to die after the chemicals began flowing. None of the reports I've seen describes exactly how he expired after the chemical injections started. He was definitely in very good physical condition, a fact that probably prolonged his passing. I'm playing a very small vioilin to celebrate his departure.

Could this kind of thing be why it took the technicians so long to hook him up to the apparatus? A little extra-curricular payback?

Back in the dya of the headsman, the custom was for the subject to tip him to assure a quick departure.

"Convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams, the Crips gang co-founder

Did the other co-founder die of extreme lead poisoning? Or is he a dead man walking too?

I have absolutely no use for people like that. They are just wasting oxygen.

Old Snoop Dung and company are either looking for some publicity or are truly retarded.

for what it's worth

I was working for the Youth Authority and can remember the first time I heard the word crips in late 72. In 73/74, we had Jamal Barnes on our housing unit. His biceps were 23 inches and we had to cut his shirts so he could put them on.

Barnes was a real thug and clearly the leader of the group. He called everyone cuz.

After he left I heard he was one of the original OGs in the crips.

Barnes is on the radio last week telling the story that he was already there when tookie drive up.

BTW Barnes appeared on the gong show flexing his muscles to music. Yes, he was..............

We used to tell the wards that crip meant cowards run in packs. The biggest gang where I worked was the staff.

I was hearing on the news that some of the guards in the death row cell block were saying that despite the public image conjured up for us by the "spinarets", Tookie was the meanest most unpleasent man in the whole cell block...a few of the guards had received death threats from out of jail Crips members. They were saying that we were right to execute Tookie!

First of all I don't doubt this for a second. Second of all, one has to wonder if this played into the whole process - one could imagine that this sort of info would make it to the governator's desk and could conceivably be one of very many factors used to come to his decision.

Not to worry. We have Madonna on duty now. And the rest of Hillary's "Village" will take up the slack.

Nope, doesn't work that way - you could effectively be superman, but once you get hit with pentothal, pancuronium bromide and KCL - you're done - no matter how many weights you may have lifted.

Nice for everyone to call him "Tookie" which was supposedly his nickname given by his mother..his gang nickname was supposed to be "Monster", IMO much more fitting, but not as likely to draw sympathy...

If he maintained he was "reformed"... reformed from WHAT exactly? I thought he claimed his innocence. I thought he said he didn't do it?

"I didn't do it!.. but um.. I'm really sorry and I'm rehabilitated!"

Makes no sense, what is he sorry for if he didn'd do it?

Most Afican-AMericans in L.A. know the guy was a scumbag. They, more than any other part of our population has suffered the ravages of the gang-bang culture.

Only white ninnies think that Tookie was some kind of saint.

"You doing that right?" it sounded as if he asked one of the men with a needle.

It seems to have worked.
