How many of these people would have attended the funerals of his victims?

"Mourners, including gang members flashing hand signs"

There are two million more black women than black men
in this country--and gangs and drugs are the reason why.

None of them. One MOAB on this gathering of persons of inestimable value could potentially save billions in social services, prisons, and legal fees.

This would be a great time to try out that face recognition software crossreferenced against outstanding warrants/mugshots...probably clear half the fugitive warrants.

"...what can a black man do, what can he do in society, to get another chance at life?" Hayes asked."

Don't screw up your first chance.

"Teach them how to avoid our destructive footsteps. Teach them to strive for higher education. Teach them to promote peace and teach them to focus on rebuilding the neighbourhoods that you, others and I helped to destroy."

Suprise, suprise.

Is a riot expected?

"What does redemption mean . . ., If Williams was unable to earn clemency from the governor, "what can a black man do, what can he do in society, to get another chance at life?" Hayes asked.

Uh...don't kill anybody?

Someone should have posted photos of his victims outside the place where his funeral was held.

"He's no different from any other human being. We all made mistakes."

Four murders is not a simple mistake, you idiot.

Actually, I think murder is the leading cause of death for black males under 24 years of age.

Several dozen gang members wearing blue attire associated with Crips gangs watched the funeral in the parking lot. One who identified himself as "Killowatt the Third," 33, estimated there were 20 to 30 Crips-affiliated gang members there to honour Williams.

But, but...that's impossible. Tookie "redeemed" himself and denounced gangs. There couldn't have possibly been crips present who were still members and who still victimize society contrary to Tookie's teachings (sarcasm off)

Had Williams lived, he would have become another black icon that would be just another drain on finances a-la Jesseh Jackson. At least two more 'programs' would have been developed and proposed 'for the chih-run', and nothing ... ab-so-tiv-ely nothing would come of it except maybe a tookie memorial park, hospital, day care center and/or rapper's museum.

(Way down deep inside, with nothing to prove it ... I believe his name is really TOKEy, but the media had to clean it up. Really, just a guess)

Thousands more Angelenos stayed away because they have no sympathy for cold-blooded murdering street thugs, no matter how hard the media and "community leaders" tried to reinvent a useless POS like Tookie.

"Tookie is dead. We're not safer, we're not more secure, we're not more humane," Jackson said.

HOW ABOUT STANDING UP FOR THE VICTIMS, JESSE? WHAT IF TOOKIE WAS WHITE, JESSE? WOULD YOU BE STANDING UP FOR HIM THEN?

"He's no different from any other human being. We all made mistakes."

MISTAKES? MISTAKES? THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING A "MISTAKE" AND KILLING SOMEBODY. MAKE IT SOUND LIKE HE "MADE A MATH ERROR" OR HE "CUT THE 2 X 4 THE WRONG LENGTH", ETC. MISTAKE MY EFFIN' @SS!

These guys build up the vein pressure.
