Weren't the Crips the inspiration for the Riffs in the movie "The Warriors?"
Well now Tookie is going to get the Cyrus treatment, can you dig it?

"The origins of the name "Crips" are hazy, though one theory attributes it to a disabled member known as a "cripple" to his comrades."
A South Park moment.
Timmy and Jimmy want to form a steet gang called the Crips, for Cripples, only to find that the gang already exists. So they decide to join.
Timmah!!!!!!!! Forever. Very funny.

Yeah, and no flat screen TV roits have taken place yet. That should have tipped me off.

Who cares what the dispute. It does not change the fact that he murdered 4 people. He also laughed at the sound the dying boy made. He is evil.

It was the Grammercy Riffs. I have not heard they were based on the real life Crips more than any other gang.
Remember the Baseball Furies?

Can one get warranty coverage on a looted 52" plasma TV if they obtained it while under duress? Isn't there some kind of rule about race-riot looting that covers it?

"Instead of founding the gang, which is what Tookie claims, what you're really talking about is emerging as a dominant figure," Klein told Reuters. "Because he is such a dominant, violent, articulate bad guy, rather than leadership you're talking about influence." In other words, he was Stalin, not Lenin.

Exactly....this is an issue? He could have founded the Salvation Army but is going to be terminated for killing 4 people in cold blood.
