Sean Penn, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover are among the thousands of mourners expected to turn out for the funeral of executed former gang leader Stanley 'Tookie' Williams early next week.

Wonder what color ribbon these idiots will designate to start wearing in Tookie's honor?

Why 'blue' of course? That is the Crips' color, isn't it?????

What these Holly-weirdos forget to ask is, "how many lives were lost or ruined over the years because of the creation of the Crips?", a feat that Tookie never apologized for!!!

Tookie did more than kill 4 innocent people!!!!!!!!!!!

Their stupidity is beyond belief.........

[handy old one]

I am like the bunny waiting, and waiting, and waiting blast they won't move.

BTW, who in blazes nominated this animal for the Nobel Prize? Jimmah Carter?

I heard on a radio show the other night that He nominated himself at least a couple of times. When you have nothing to do and all day to do it, you get creative I guess. Tookie was a convict playing convict head games right up to the last. Too bad he lost this last game (not).

Thousands of mourners

Yeah, you know like the million man march. Maybe a busload or two.

[Jigsaw John]

No doubt we will soon see a bronze statue of Tookie erected

Hopefully it will be accurate, and depict him standing over one of his victims while holding a shotgun.

Great, they can dump him in the yard of the million dollar home of Winnie Mandela in Soweto where she helped murder Stompie and his friends. Fitting end .........

[RGSpincich]

BTW, who in blazes nominated this animal for the Nobel Prize?

Mario Fehr, a Swiss parliamentarian. He fiercely opposes the death penalty. In 2000 William's girlfriend convinced him that the nomination would be a good way to thwart the attempts to execute Williams.

This is NOT an article from The Onion!

Of course it's not. I'm just surprised I haven't read Danny Glover's name in relationship to Tookie Williams til now.

[EveningStar]

Was the Toookster a hero in South Africa?

Apparently he was to Winnie Mandela.

[gridlock]

Wonder what color ribbon these idiots will designate to start wearing in Tookie's honor?

I'm gonna go waaaay out on a limb here and guess BLUE!

Sure wouldn't be red!

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

They should bury him face down in a shallow grave - then at least some good would be served - a Tookie bike rack!

[DOGEY]

Don't you love it when they refer to Rev. Jackson as a Human Rights Activist. Why not huckster or grifter?

How appropriate to spread his ashes over a horrible, communist state.

According to the State Department, South Africa is a parliamentary democracy. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2898.htm. Relations with the US are scored as "excellent."

It's also worth noting that its currency, the Rand, floats freely against the US dollar and has generally appreciated over the last 10 years.

In addition the country has a large and liquid stock exchange that is freely accessible by offshore investors.

My bet would be Rwanda.

[Voltage]

Excellent! Always nice to know who supports murderers. Should be a big crowd of democrats.

[Jacob Kell]

Don't forget Viggo Mortensen, ALec Baldwin, and Ed Asner.

[stocksthatgoup]

The ceremony will be held in Los Angeles, before his ashes are scattered in South Africa. ???????????????????????

[ridesthemiles]

Can we get them to take a one way flight??????

There's something about mass murderers that liberal love. Marx, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe, Che Guevara, Castro, Tookie... liberals love them all.

I just can't understand it myself.

If what I've heard about south central LA is true, the statue will be ripped off and melted down - or will be covered with rival gang grafitti.
