That's enough reason to inject Tookie, right there. The man was the CEO of the Crips and therefore was partly responsible for the destruction of many of our countries black youth.
As a side note, is it true that Tookie's best selling Children's book sold a whopping 350 copies?
Oh, well, it's a free country, so let them have their rant. Justice was done, and anything else now is an afterthought.
Yep. On all points in your post. That quote from Killowatt the Third (nice name, I wonder if the "kill" in it was part of the attraction) speaks volumes on Tookie's legacy. As to his books, I heard the number was 333 sold. Definitely Nobel Prize material...
John Carlson, radio host in Seattle, asked a question something like this:
Which has done more harm to the vitality, integrity and future of blacks in America... The KKK or the Crips?
Plus, we didn't cure cancer, we didn't stop the terrorists from bombing innocents, we didn't raise the SAT scores in the inner cities. But, Jesse, let's focus on what this execution was actually supposed to accomplish, rather than just speaking about pie-in-the-sky objectives. The execution of a convicted mass-murderer is society's ultimate act of retribution. It is civlized people standing up and saying, "What you did is totally unacceptable, and the only punishment commensurate with your violent deeds is the death penalty." It is justice served for the families of the victims, and for society as a whole. What the execution does accomplish is far more important than what it doesn't.
Um, you could try not brutally murdering four people, laughing and boasting about their deaths, and then telling the jury who convicts you, "I'm going to get each and every one of you m______ f______rs."
Lol.
The murdered didn't get any such chance either.
I'd like to know the names of those 300 who attended the public funeral of that hamburger-eater Robert Alton Harris in San Francisco.
I argue that the drug laws of the early 1900's are the one of earliest root cause of the current high rate of murder and incarceration. The Jim Crow laws contributed for many years, but that era is behind us -- what is left of the evil vintage of that era is the racism-birthed drug laws.
At least Williams could have an "open casket." I don't think we can say that for his victims.
"Killowatt the Third", a Crips member, was there. No doubt one of the brighter lights in the gang.
>"He's no different from any other human being. We all made mistakes."
"He had iss-yews!"
...a large TV set up in the parking lot.
Probably Stolen.
They barely filled a church, and 20 gang members showed up.
I like that! Can I steal it for my tagline?
They don't.
Google Australia or Toledo Ohio. You may find some there.
