South Central's hope: clemency for Williams [Tookie]

"It is imperative to stop it, and it can be stopped," Rivers said. "Tookie is a vital part of that effort. Who better to help stop it than the person who started it? I'm a living example of how second chances can work."

If Tookie actually wanted to stop the gang crime, he'd have long ago agreed to be debriefed by the authorities and informed on all of his former associates. Absemt that, everything he's doing is just a sham to escape a much deserved dirt nap.

....in this impoverished flatland....

How about "land of the underachieving nerdowells who wallow in ignorance and self imposed poverty"

Modern day version of "live by the sword, die by the sword."

By the way, if Tookie is pardoned I will have a hard time criticizing any police officer for prematurely firing his gun under any circumstances. I mean, if Tookie does not deserve lethal injection then nobody does. I will be glad when Wednesday arrives.

.....In a split second, it becomes irrelevant as a car full of Bloods pours a few pounds of red-hot lead into Tookie. Still a big guy, it takes quite a few hits to put him down. But fall he does: just another dead Crip.

Can you put that to song?
Maybe to 'Imagine'. g
