'Tookie' offered South Africa burial

From: Agence France-Presse From correspondents in Johannesburg
December 15, 2005

WINNIE Madikizela-Mandela has offered to help fulfil the final wish of executed former Los Angeles gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams and hold his burial in South Africa.

A spokesman for the flamboyant former wife of Nelson Mandela told the Afrikaans daily newspaper Beeld that Madikizela-Mandela will "honour her promise to see that Williams is buried in South Africa." Williams, who was found guilty of four killings but became an anti-violence crusader on death row and an author of several books, was executed in California yesterday by lethal injection.

Quoting Williams's former wife Bonny Williams-Taylor, the newspaper said it was the former gang leader's wish to be buried in South Africa.

He met Ms Madikizela-Mandela in 1996 and was "very impressed" with her, Ms Williams-Taylor said.

"She had huge influence on his life and it was his wish to be buried there (in South Africa)."

Necklace, necklace, necklace!

[Names Ash Housewares]

At least his carcass wont stink up American soil.

[manic4organic]

Please takie tookie. The wacko libs will have to travel a loooooong way to worship at his grave.

[One Proud Dad]

I say put him in an shopping cart and leave him behind one of the many crack houses he helped create.

[2banana]

Wonder if they are thinking of kicking white coffins out of the SA cemetery to make room...

[Jaded]

Oh-fricken-puhleeze!

[SoFloFreeper]

Yeah, as soon as I saw this I thought about Winnie's love for putting fire necklaces around her enemies. I guess she and Took are of the same mindset.

[DM1]

Good Riddance

[JudgemAll]

This is not about the death penalty, but about protecting a bunch of loser communistoid sinful fascists. Mark my words, they would have no trials to frag us...and this is what these condemning biggoted protests to "save" Tookie were all about.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

From one murderer to another, eh, Winnie?

[Sunshine Sister]

To bad she was not an influence on his life before he murdered 4 people.

[Servant of the 9]

Stuff him in a garbage can, weld on the lid and ship it COD.

So9

[WV Mountain Mama]

Well, he wasted our air and tax payer money, at least he won't be wasting our dirt.

[Redcloak]

That's what I was thinking. He contaminated our land enough in life. We don't need his offal seeping into our soil now that he's dead.

[Norman Conquest]

He'll only need two pallbearers, 'cause a trashcan only has two handles.

[RandallFlagg]

She can have him. And she can pay for it as well.

[mak5]

It is appropriate that the terrorist thug/thief would offer a burial place for the murdering thug.

[finnman69]

At least his DNA wont be polluting American soil.

[Redcloak]

What?! And contaminate one of our lovely landfills? Surely you can't be serious.

[IronJack]

I could mix Dookie's ashes with some wood glue and make a passable caulk for my outhouse ...

[PlanoMike]

I think Tookie deserves to be buried next to Nelson Mandela immediately. This of course would require the immediate demise of Mandela for his past evil deeds!!

[capt. norm]

In their little world you are nobody 'til you murder someone.

[kentj]

That don't seem fair - it makes a long trip for the families of the victims to go to piss on his head marker.

[Baynative]

Is Tookie's rapist drug dealer thug son still on the run? Maybe Winnie could offer him sanctuary.

[debboo]

Good riddance!! They should round up all of his followers, past and present, and send them with him!!

[Taylor42]

birds of a feather...

[Dallas59]

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela favorite smell! My Tire Burns For You....

[Logical me]

Please, take him. Make sure you erect a huge stone with the eloquent etched words "Our Hero" Typical. He doesn't even deserve a cardboard box. Hollywierd will probably pay for it. Better check South Africa first, maybe they don't want him.

[thoughtomator]

What a poseur. Why would you want to be buried in S.A. if you'd never set foot there in your life?

[Mike Darancette]

He can be buried in the "Raciest Thug Cemetery".

[maridee]

"Oh-fricken-puhleeze!"


My feelings exactly, what in the world did I miss.
The next we will hear is that there should be a national holiday in honor of his birthday.

[dubyawhoiluv]

I would second that, he truly is a evil old man along with the fake Desmond Tutu, S.Africa had it's problems but he destroyed the country after he became president;they are both now living in the lap of luxury in Europe. I will never forget his vile anti-american rants, his smug disrespect of Dubya and his total silence when his thug supporters slaughtered innocent women,children and loyal farm hands who in the majority of the cases were like family.

[emiller]

Free Tookie!!! Free Tookie!!!

While there's still time!!!!

[TCats]

"A spokesman for the flamboyant former wife of Nelson Mandela."

Err... Only the MSM would characterize a murdering, thieving reprobate like this as 'Flamboyant'. Let her take Tookie so he'll be with his kind and they can spend eternity punishing each other.

[Lx]

I hope this lose doesn't go for any more news cycles.

On KCRA yesterday, the news reader actually said that Tookie helped the Doctor find a vein. From what I've read, he lifted his head and said something?? How is that translated to helped the doc find a vein.

I'm glad it's over.

[headstamp]

More like from one animal to another.

[lunarbicep]

(WINNIE Madikizela-Mandela ) "She had huge influence on his life and it was his wish to be buried there (in South Africa)."

birds of a feather flock together

[River_Wrangler]

To bad she was not an influence on his life before he murdered 4 people.

You are right. If he followed her lead he could have murdered many more and had a catastrophic effect on his country.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Err... Only the MSM would characterize a murdering, thieving reprobate like this as 'Flamboyant'. Let her take Tookie so he'll be with his kind and they can spend eternity punishing each other.

Maybe the MSM meant to say flameboyant in describing the necklace queen.

[River_Wrangler]

Is Tookie's rapist drug dealer thug son still on the run? Maybe Winnie could offer him sanctuary.

I saw a report on FOX that said he was doing time for...."Drum roll"......Murder two at a location that I don't remember. Nice legacy.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I've always been a bit puzzled about why African-Americans identify with South Africa. Most African-Americans would be descendants of people from the Western coast of Africa, not the South. Africa is a huge continent - isn't this something like an American of Italian descent identifying himself with Norway? No offense meant to anyone, just wondering...

[Psycho_Bunny]

Are you stupid all the time, or is it a seasonal thing?
