'Tookie' offered South Africa burial

WINNIE Madikizela-Mandela has offered to help fulfil the final wish of executed former Los Angeles gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams and hold his burial in South Africa.
A spokesman for the flamboyant former wife of Nelson Mandela told the Afrikaans daily newspaper Beeld that Madikizela-Mandela will "honour her promise to see that Williams is buried in South Africa." Williams, who was found guilty of four killings but became an anti-violence crusader on death row and an author of several books, was executed in California yesterday by lethal injection.
Quoting Williams's former wife Bonny Williams-Taylor, the newspaper said it was the former gang leader's wish to be buried in South Africa.
He met Ms Madikizela-Mandela in 1996 and was "very impressed" with her, Ms Williams-Taylor said.
"She had huge influence on his life and it was his wish to be buried there (in South Africa)."
What?! And contaminate one of our lovely landfills? Surely you can't be serious.
I could mix Dookie's ashes with some wood glue and make a passable caulk for my outhouse ...
I think Tookie deserves to be buried next to Nelson Mandela immediately. This of course would require the immediate demise of Mandela for his past evil deeds!!
In their little world you are nobody 'til you murder someone.
That don't seem fair - it makes a long trip for the families of the victims to go to piss on his head marker.
Good riddance!! They should round up all of his followers, past and present, and send them with him!!
birds of a feather...
What a poseur. Why would you want to be buried in S.A. if you'd never set foot there in your life?
"Oh-fricken-puhleeze!"
My feelings exactly, what in the world did I miss.
The next we will hear is that there should be a national holiday in honor of his birthday.
I would second that, he truly is a evil old man along with the fake Desmond Tutu, S.Africa had it's problems but he destroyed the country after he became president;they are both now living in the lap of luxury in Europe. I will never forget his vile anti-american rants, his smug disrespect of Dubya and his total silence when his thug supporters slaughtered innocent women,children and loyal farm hands who in the majority of the cases were like family.
Free Tookie!!! Free Tookie!!!
While there's still time!!!!
Err... Only the MSM would characterize a murdering, thieving reprobate like this as 'Flamboyant'. Let her take Tookie so he'll be with his kind and they can spend eternity punishing each other.
I'm glad it's over.
More like from one animal to another.
birds of a feather flock together
You are right. If he followed her lead he could have murdered many more and had a catastrophic effect on his country.
