Tookie's channeler should be heartened to know Tookie's death will drastically improve his book sales.
Peace activist, writer and candleholder? The mind reels....
"My legacy is a series of beautiful children's books and a peace treaty between violent street gangs. "
That, four violent murders, and the founding of a game of street thugs that has led to tens of thousands of deaths.
Took: I don't forgive you. I have no compassion for you. I think you are an ass.
I know that deep down inside you, there is a goodness that suffers because you killed me.
I saw no sign that anything in you suffered because of the four people you murdered. You are a piece of filth.
I no longer have time to figure out how you became the wounded narcissist that you are, but I know it's not the real you.
I know longer care to figure out how you became the twisted misanthrope you are, but I know it's who you are.
You're better than that, Arnold.
You're no better than that, Stanley.
May God have mercy on your soul.
May the Devil play xylophone on your ribs.
* Stanley Tookie Williams was channeled by David Howard, of Ojai, a peace activist and writer who held a candle for Williams at the Ventura County Government Center on the night of the execution.
IronJack was channeled by IronJack, of Omaha, a curmudgeonly cynic who held a fiesta the night the Tookster was dispatched to Hell.
As long as David Howard is channeling dead people, I'd like to hear some opinions on Tookie's extermination from the four innocent people he murdered and laughed at as they were taking their last tortured breaths.
Blah, blah, blah,...I mean the guy just won't stop and I'm thinking can I hit the "Report Abuse" button, or can you NOT "report" dead people?
I mean, really, what are you going to do; ban him for life?!?!? See what I'm saying?
At any rate, I thought I was going to be "posthumus" before the old Took pulled the rip chord on his little post-life rant . Too bad his life was such a waste - now his afterlife is too.
Should have added "Weirdo Alert!"
Dear Arnold Schwarzenegger, I've been dead fo' uh few days now. You've prob'ly already forgotten about me an' moved on ta mo' important matters like condemning salad tosser marriage, helping da Minutemen keep Mexicans out o' California, an' preparing another diatribe ta deny clemency ta Clarence Allen, da 75-year-old blind Choctaw Indian you'll execute Jan. 17.
Still, I beseech ya -- once ag'in -- ta take uh moment from yo' busy schedule. I gots somethin' important ta tell you: I forgive ya fo' murdering me. Here'swhy:
First, I forgive ya cuz I realize it'snot personal. You're just uh ventriloquist'spuppet fo' special interests dat couldn't care less about individual lives like mine or those o' da at-risk youth I would gots continued ta he`p had I lived.
You, Arnold, iz beholden ta da military-industrial-prison gang dat has turned da United States into da per-capita incarceration capital o' da world, uh country only outdone in executions by Iran, China an' Vietnam.
Second, I forgive ya cuz I dig' dat shallow, unprincipled politicians can't really be blamed fo' lashing out as ya did.
Jesus said, "Forgive them; dey know not what dey do." You know not what ya do. You don' git what'swrong wiff state-sanctioned ritual murder. You don' git why rehabilitation an' redemption iz bettah than blood vengeance. And ya don' git why so many peeps thought muh ma fuckin trial wuz hopelessly tainted by racism.
Third, I forgive ya cuz it'snot fo' me ta judge. Ultimately, Arnold, ya don' answer ta Stanley Williams. You answer ta history. My legacy iz uh series o' fine chil'ns'sbooks an' uh peace treaty between violent street gangs. What'syours?
Fourth, I forgive ya cuz I, too, mus' take responsibility fo' yo' empowerment. There'ssome wisdom in da proverb, "People git da da system dey deserve." Our apathy, despair, lack o' organization an' appetite fo' simple-minded diversion helped elect ya an' yo' brutalizing political agenda.
Fifth, I forgive ya cuz I refuse ta seek revenge on muh ma fuckin fellow human beings. After muh ma fuckin redemption, I lived fo' reconciliation, healing an' justice. I took uh vow never ta hurt anyone.
Sixth, I forgive ya cuz I never give up hope. I hope an' pray ya may still learn ta do da right thin'. Trust me, dere iz always opportunities fo' redemption, even fo' ya. It'snever too late ta renounce violence an' injustice.
Finally, I forgive ya cuz I gots compassion fo' ya. I know dat deep down inside ya, dere iz uh goodness dat suffers cuz ya ganked me. I nahh longer gots tyme ta figure out how ya became da wounded narcissist dat ya iz, but I know it'snot da real ya. You're bettah than dat, Arnold. May God gots mercy on yo' soul. and git Sheniquah's ass back ova' heeah.
A religious friend of mine who drones on incessantly against the death penalty tracked down the photos of his victims and other supporting evidence on my recommendation. Later he said: "The worst think about Tookie is that he is such a piece of garbage that he made me want him dead. I resent him for that."
LOL, Much better.
Seeing the writer was from Ojai, where hippiedom lives on, was enough to stop me from reading the article in the Ventura County (Red) Star in the first place!
You forget, St. Tookie's memorial is to be either in the utopian paradise of South Africa or somewhere scattered in the Blue Nile. After all the current celebrations are finished, they plan to reduce the cracass to ashes for easy transport and scattering. Maybe they can stuff some in Mbeki's crack pipe!
Tippin my 40 oz. to St. Tookie here in the 916 (that would be Blood turf)!

Hundreds attend Tookie's funeral
Hundreds of people have gathered at a Los Angeles church for the star-studded funeral of executed US killer Stanley Tookie Williams.
It happened in the violence-wracked section where he founded the murderous Crips street gang three decades ago.
Under a heavy police presence, mourners -- including gang members flashing hand signs -- waited to enter the 1,500-seat Bethel AME Church.
A large TV screen was set up in a parking lot for an overflow crowd. Vendors hawked T-shirts with Williams' picture.
Expected to attend were the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan and hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg.
The service was to include a video by filmmaker Jonathan Stack and a speech by Jamie Foxx, who portrayed Williams in the film Redemption: The Stanley Tookie Williams Story.
Williams, 51, was put to death by lethal injection on December 13 at San Quentin State Prison for the 1979 shotgun murders of convenience store clerk Albert Owens, 26, and motel owners Yen-I Yang, 76, Tsai-Shai Chen Yang, 63, and their daughter Yu-Chin Yang Lin, 43.
Williams maintained he was innocent but all appeals failed and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger rejected arguments to spare his life.
During his years on Death Row, Williams wrote children's books warning against gang life. Those efforts attracted supporters who lobbied for clemency, arguing Williams had redeemed himself.
Williams' will calls for his remains to be cremated and the ashes scattered over South Africa.

I guess he really changed them for the better.
hrumph!
Too late. The funeral memorial was today and his remains are going to be shipped to South Africa.
I had to laugh today when I was reading an article about the services that took place in the heart of Los Angeles. Apparently there were a lot of gang members at the service, along with the Hollyweirdos, and at the end of the services while the crowd was being led out into the street from the church, several shots rang out.
Suddenly it became clear to everyone where they were because many in the crowd immediately dropped to the ground.
I guess that was a nice way to remember Tookie's real legacy. Dozens of drive by shooting on a regular basis everyday.
By the way, as to be expected, there were no suspects and no arrests. Just more gang violence -- forever.
With apologies to Monty Python: "Bring out your Tookies!"
---
Tookie did not write any books, they were 'not-so' ghost written.
Tookie was not Nobel Peace Prize winner, he joins the ranks of another guy named, Adolph Hitler, who was nominated too.
Tookie boasted that he killed some "buddah heads" when he killed the asian family...alittle rascist, huh?
AND
Tookie had a public realtions person and a stylist.
Tookie fans never spoke a word about the victims while they were busy canonizing him for sainthood, a four time murderer, who stayed alive 26 years longer than his FOUR victims.
Is this justice ? NO.
