Canadians were shocked when Torontos ever-expanding gang warfare culminated in the recent brazen, daylight murder of one black youth mourner at the very funeral of another black youth victim.
White liberalism was never more impotent to explain such a dramatic turn in the particular field of its vaunted expertise. But as always in these matters there is much to learn from that great laboratory of ethnic experimentation. Black America.
Take the case of Stanley Tookie Williams. The 51 year-old African American is the cold-blooded coward on death row in California whose death, set for Dec. 13, has global white liberalism itself in the death throes of diabolical apologetics.
In spite of a quarter century of legal access and reviews certifying Tookies guilt, in the most liberal jurisdiction on the face of the earth, Governor Arnold ("Terminator") Schwarzenegger has been arm-wrestled into scheduling a clemency hearing for Tookie this Thursday, Dec. 8.
Williams will die for four murders. In separate robberies in 1979, then 26-year old Tookie, whose actual middle name has taken on the obligatory love-fest of bleeding heart diminutives, killed store clerk, 26-year old Albert Lewis Owens, and Taiwanese immigrants, 76-year old Yen-I Yang, Yangs wife, 63-year old Tsai-Shai Yang and the couples 43-year old daughter, Yee Chen Lin.
And that was just the crowning criminal achievement of what prosecutors at the time rightly called the Bengal Tiger outside its natural habitat.
Tiger Tookie was born to kill. In his teens he co-founded the still most violent Los Angeles gang, the Crips, so named for reported descriptions of crippled victims of young thugs in Tookies notorious South Central neighbourhood.
True to form, the beast regaled his colleagues with accounts of victim Albert Owens: You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him. Tookie then made gurgling, growling noises and laughed about Owens death.
But to hear Hollywood tell it, the murder of Owens, who was white, was a black on white fatality from the era of race riots and white police brutality. Just the kind of revisionist feed that fuels opposition to capital punishment.
All the more reason to focus on the role of the Crips in the black community, in black on black crime. No grand socio-reformatory statement there. Just plain jungle savagery. But then I speak as a black African man who was born into, was raised, schooled and has worked in black communities the world over, including the black/Korean south central Los Angeles area. I was certainly never embedded in white racial guilt.
To save Tookie is to sacrifice the blood-right of a people to weed itself of a poison ivy to its very existence. When every black predator is treated to the equal ethnic empathy of any black man, white liberalism becomes the root of all evil. For then no black community can separate Hitler from his daily grind of victims.
To draw the line at capital punishment does not soften the blow. Or save such a perverted failure at justice. Remember Lionel Tate? Just under five years ago, at age 13, a massive 160-pound Tate was given the alarmist distinction of the youngest person to be sentenced to life, in the brutal beating death of his 6 year-old neighbour, Tiffany Eunick. Tate, on probation after his conviction was overturned, went on a spree of crime, from gun possession to armed robbery, racking up nothing more than additional probation. Just now, no longer a minor, he is back in the system and may, finally, get that original life sentence.
In any case, life or death, all punishment is secondary. What saves lives on a day to day basis is the view normal people have of the infliction of suffering. A black predator equals himself to his black victim in the pigment of pain. He is doing no worse to his victim than is done to him simply by virtue of being who he is.
With equal opportunity annihilators like Tookie, this attitude will cross racial lines. But basically, pigment needs sameness to confirm, again and again, that it is just what it is and cannot help but be. Thus, from Tookie to Toronto to Timbuktu, the victims of black crime are overwhelmingly disproportionately also black.
Small wonder, black men in the barbershop of Tookies old neighbourhood, in spite of obvious dangers that could come from Tookies Crips, openly on national TV, condemn Tookie, all these years later, saying he must die.
While Hollywood stars apologize for Tookie, the beast itself apologizes for not one of his murder convictions. He simply denies all four.
So what is there to forgive? Schwarzeneggers granting of a clemency hearing is an abomination. The governor has no jurisdiction to retry the case. And logically, you cannot forgive a man for something he did not do.
So Tookies case reduces back to simple due process. Fact-finding in a fair trial. But again, Tookie has had a lifetime of examination and re-examination, all at great cost to taxpayers who include, of course, relatives of victims of his monstrous deeds.
Just last month, the governor suffered quite a political loss. All four reform propositions that he backed went down in flames. Will Schwarzenegger, himself up for re-election next year, now sacrifice four murders for four propositions?
Uber-liberal California is nevertheless staunchly (66 - 70%) for the death penalty. Instead of a clemency hearing, Schwarzenegger would do well to conduct a Multicultural Presentation Ceremony of the lives of Tookies victims and their surviving relatives.
Its time to redress a gross imbalance. Tookies tony set have had him nominated for Nobel prize after Nobel prize. Its time to nominate the victims of this ape for justice.

Killer: Lionel Tate - Victim: Tiffany Eunick

Dear Rev. Downey,
11/23/99-Tuesday
Greetings to you and your entire family. I trust that this missive will find all of you salubrious, spirited, and blessed. Indeed, I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to write to me, thank you!
As for myself, in total spite of these debilitative conditions, I forge onward with faith and through the reinforcement of earnest prayers. Moreover, I manage to maintain my sanity by keeping myself busy with studying, exercising, and composing a variety of children/adult literary materials.
Incidently, I agree with your analogy of todays pestilence that plagues this country. I had the misfortune of experiencing the devastating effects drugs can have on a person's mind, body, morality, and life. Needless to say, without question the profession of a drug dealer is demonic and shameful. However, the supple and demand for their deadly products on our behalf is equally as amoral. If we refuse to purchase their products, they would be out of business.
Admittedly, I frown upon sound bite slogans(just say no, etc). I find them as redundant as a placebo/sugar pill for alzheimer's disease. It's appalling how some people use the superficiality of a mere catch phrase to address a problem. Society needs much more than that! So with that take care and I appreciate your missive. May you continue to be blessed, as well as your family!
Stanley "Tookie" Williams
Stanley "Tookie" Williams was a co-founder of the Los Angeles Crips street gang. He was convicted in 1981 of killing four people, and lives on death row at San Quentin State Prison.
Winnie Mandela, a member of South Africa's parliament and president of the African National Congress Women's League, recently visited "Tookie" to learn more about his Internet Project for Street Peace. Mr. Williams has written eight books for young people, and is dedicated to helping children find alternatives to a life of crime.
That reminds me....I need to drop BJ Hunnicutt a little note.
. . .think anyone can see a cruel, narcissist who needs. . .demands attention who loves to exert and hold power and whose 'self-preoccupation' is a self-corruption. .
. . .in other words. . .it just looks like the hand of a self-absorbed psychopath who seeks power while suffering delusions of 'grandeur' as well.. .
p.s. That said. . .and whatever the case may be. . .I would not want to see that signature on any Christmas card addressed with my name on it. . .
The file below is saved for another post, but use it to go to zombies main "Tookie" page:
I believe writing slanted rightward indicates the writers willingness to employ outward projection of physical power to influence their environment, leftward slant indicates an introvert who feels powerless and reacts based on what the world throws his/her way an a solitary, personal manner. Vertical style indicates indecision about feelings at the time of writing. I read this some years back and could be mistaken. I write in all three styles without consciously knowing it, therefore I believe graphology beyond proving the identity of the writer is bunk like numerology or astrology..
Well that nice enjoy the margaritas...
It is also known that the military uses graphology, it like reading body language.
The impulses come from the left and right side of our brain which also is express in our handwriting or when a lie detector is used!
It is very hard to control those responses and I am sure many like Tookie aren't even aware that they are leaving a record recorded, when they are doing what they do!
It like having endless gigabytes in our brain!
Someday I am sure we will know how to accurately download that knowledge!
Well said cricket. He entered the death chamber, angry, rebellious and full of hate as he glared at the media.
His books? He has sold a whole 333 of them. Hardly enough to change socities black youth.
What a circus backhoe!!
The pro-Tookie camp also forgets that hundreds of black youth have lost their lives and their potential for being productive citizens by following Tookie. Not to mention the black neighborhoods where hardworking citizens have to deal with gang violence. Most of Tookie's victims were and are black.
"What a circus backhoe..."
My God I think I did say a mouthful. I agree, the MSM will ALWAYS put out the sanitized leftist version while showing maybe ONE pro-death penalty supporter.
At things like this, ANYTHING really that has to do with a blackman, Jesse Jackass is like a fly to shit. He ALWAYS gets his face right in there. I'm so sick of that fraud.
Yes that's very true. So glad to see another black conservative!! All the best to you.
Holla!
Amen!
Graphology is like astrology which I also deeply researched. It is interesting but meaningless in reality. I was born moon in Scorpio conjunct Mars, sun in Virgo square to Saturn trine to Venus and opposition to Jupiter. Big deal, I was born under a bad sign.
I write like an introvert, an extrovert and an undecided nitwit all in the same month without thinking about it until after the fact.
As meaningless pseudo science, today it is given credibility just like eugenics was yesterday. Everything has its place; I like the Bible code and the Remote Viewers, but just as a hobby like reading fiction.... Which it all is.
