I've heard that tookie is considered a dangerous man by the prison guards, does anyone know his record as a prisoner?

A real sweetheart with such great character witnesses, eh? If I didn't know he murdered four people, I'd be urging his life be spared to. The Stupid Left knows exactly who Tookie is and they don't care. We can show how much we care by seeing to it he meets his Maker - fast.

Life in Prison
In 1987, Tookie began what became a 6 1/2-year stay in solitary confinement. After two years there, Tookie began to look at himself. He focused on the choices he had made in his life and then committed himself to make a drastic change. The long, difficult process he undertook to rebuild his character put him in touch with his true spirit, his own humanity. Only then could Tookie finally begin to care about the many children, mothers, fathers and other family members of this country hurt by the Crips legacy and by its explosive growth. The gang is now in 42 states and on at least one other continent: South Africa. Youngsters in Soweto and other South African cities have formed the Crips copycat gangs

Tookie Today
Tookie greatly regrets the violent history of the Crips -- particularly how so many young black men have hurt each other -- and he wants to do what he can to stop it. The Tookie Speaks Out Against Gang Violence book series for elementary-school-age children is the first fruit of his longing to prevent young people of every color from becoming gangbangers, from ending up in prison, crippled by bullets, or killed.

Tookie is determined to make amends for having been a co-founder of the Crips. He intends to try in every way he can to guide those youngsters who have imitated him away from the road that led him to death row where he faces State execution. "Don't join a gang," he tells children in his books, writing from his San Quentin cell. "You won't find what you're looking for. All you will find is trouble, pain and sadness. I know. I did."

I applaud Tookie Williams for his anti-gang stance and I hope that he has truly found redemption in Christ.

That having been said, he deserves to die for the brutal murders of four people, and nothing he's done since changes that.

Buh-bye, Tookie.

I just mailed Gov. Schwarzenegger asking for justice for the four victims. His address is: governor@governor.ca.gov

I got the idea from "Tookie's" site.

I think I'll go back and forward this message to Tookie. (tookie@tookie.com)

The murders were wrong. Whether you call them buddaheads or say they are really swell people while you do it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
