Even more, I wonder if they would welcome him to their posh neighborhood.....without their beefy security guards around.

He repents other things but does not own up to the murders.

yup

[em2vn]

If he confessed to a rebirth through Jesus Christ the Hollywood libs wouldn't touch him.

"Tookies" supporters should be on death row with him.

I spent a little time browsing on tookie.com. This is what he regrets:

"I also didn't expect the Crips to end up ruining the lives of so many young people, especially young black men who have hurt other young black men. . . . So today I apologize to you all -- the children of America and South Africa -- who must cope every day with dangerous street gangs. I no longer participate in the so-called gangster lifestyle, and I deeply regret that I ever did.

As a contribution to the struggle to end child-on-child brutality and black-on-black brutality, I have written the Tookie Speaks Out Against Gang Violence children's book series."

There isn't a word of sympathy for his victims, or other innocent victims of gang crime. His sympathy is for the gang members. He regrets their -- and his own -- self-destruction -- that is all.

I think Tookie is still the same racist he was when he murdered whites and Asians in cold blood, laughed about their suffering, and stated that he wanted to kill all whites.

In other words, Tookie's reformation is really just self-pity, extending to those he views as being like himself.

The evil of the MSM is apparent in the utter lack of reporting of the crimes and victims, and the non-stop propaganda in favor of clemency.

Why is it that you need to peel away the media layers before you read a quote from a family member instead of Snoop Doggie Dog and Jessie Jackson? Oh! that's right it's our mainstream media. I think they should execute Tookie and 3 of his family members to make things equal, and do it with a shot gun in the back from point blank range.

Speaking of the mainstream media: Tookie is to the Nobel Peace Prize as Dan Rather is to the Peabody award.

As a man, Lora mostly recalls Albert as a father who adored his daughters. Shortly before he was murdered, Owens had visited his daughters in Missouri. Lora remembers spending time at home with him and the family. Now, she said, his daughters barely remember their dad. Charles Owens, Albert's father, who died in 1995, was devastated by his son's death, Lora said.

It's criminal that Albert's Dad died heartbroken in '95, 16 years after Tookie brutally mudered him and Tookie continued living. Also, Albert's kids barely remember him. How can you ever think of not putting this POS down?

Mike Farrell, grow a f'en brain, butthead!
