Too bad, now the Left won't care if he dies, unless there's a last-minute revelation of him murdering some nuns or something.

"Actually, everybody but Tookie gives Raymond Washington credit for starting (the Crips)," said Malcolm Klein, an emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Southern California who has studied gangs since 1962. Your tax dollars at work.

Actually, SC is a "private" school.....but I agree this Klein character likely is supported by govt grants to study this "worthwhile" phenomena.

Come on. Somebody has keep track of these scum. Tookie's fan club is over-stating his role to attract attention. The story here is that Took is just a two-bit thug, and an over-rated one at that.

Raymond Washington was killed by a rival gang member....Hmmm I wonder if he was shot in the back at point blank range with a shotgun?

Actually, it's little known fact that Vietnam War Hero John Kerry and Internet inventor Al Gore teamed up to found the Crips in 1962. Back then, they went by their full name, the Crippled Prep School Albino Negroes. You betta recognize!

I was working for the Youth Authority and can remember the first time I heard the word crips in late 72. In 73/74, we had Jamal Barnes on our housing unit. His biceps were 23 inches and we had to cut his shirts so he could put them on.
Barnes was a real thug and clearly the leader of the group. He called everyone cuz.
After he left I heard he was one of the original OGs in the crips.
Barnes is on the radio last week telling the story that he was already there when tookie drive up.
BTW Barnes appeared on the gong show flexing his muscles to music. Yes, he was..............
We used to tell the wards that crip meant cowards run in packs. The biggest gang where I worked was the staff.
