Just after the four-hour service for executed murderer, and Crips gang co-founder Stanley "Tookie" Williams, mourners dropped to the ground as gunshots went off about a block away. Groups from different gangs had begun taunting each other. No one was hurt."

Fitting epitath.

Was it a 21 gun salute with automatic weapons?

I guess it was some of those 'children's books' going off.

Not possible. Tookie was a man of peace. It's inconceiveable that any of his mourners would be violent.

Shots heard after the Stanley "Tookie" Williams memorial service.

Well, now, imagine that!

With the nice wholesome crowd this sort of thing attracts, imagine gunfire!

All the beautiful were there, I wonder how many Black Soldiers or Black Policemen funerals these guys have been to.

the Stanley "Tookie" Williams memorial service

Does not remind one of Reagan's.

In an equally stunning development, shots were downed after an area bar owner's funeral.

From www.anklebitingpundits.com:
Next thing that's going to happen is that the sun will rise in the East.

I think I know who did this - roaming gangs of little kids unhappy that they won't get next month's installment of Tookie's childrens book.

Oh how I long for the days when the only thing that happened at the funerals of gang thugs was when their homies would "Tip A 40" to their memory and hope that their departed member would end up in the "Gangsta Lean".

What's the deal with the Crips and Bloods these days anyway? Aren't they somewhat of a declining force since the 80's and eclipsed by even more ruthless hispanic outfits like MS13?

"Some told the crowd Williams had done good work in prison, writing children's books warning against joining gangs. Others denounced capital punishment."

I wonder of any of them denounced the shotgun murdering of the innocent?
