Russell Crowe?

[MJemison]

?Thousands of mourners? I wonder how many will really show up.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Sounds like it will be a bigger circus than the Wellstone funeral/pep rally was.

[svcw]

That sound you hear is me vomiting!

[Vaquero]

How appropriate to spread his ashes over a horrible, communist state.

[mewzilla]

I wonder if any of those mourners saw photos of the crime scenes?

[bonfire]

The usual suspects.

[theDentist]

Can we revoke their passports? After they leave?

[RTINSC]

No doubt we will soon see a bronze statue of Tookie erected in South Central LA..

[Prime Choice]

What a pity. I was hoping they'd bury him in California. Then I could pour a pot of my finest coffee on his grave...

...after it had passed through my kidneys.

[RexBeach]

Good Lord, if ever there was an stance of "much ado about nothing," this is it.

The man was a cold-blooded killer who never admitted his guilt and never apologized to the families of his victims. Old Tookie ahd years to do that, and he never did. Yet he is lauded as a great man. BTW, who in blazes nominated this animal for the Nobel Prize? Jimmah Carter?

Stars to Attend Stanley 'Tookie' Williams' Funeral - ashes to be scattered in South Africa

Actually that is kind of appropriate when you consider that South Africa is a violent, lawless country where innocent people are victimized by ruthless criminals.

If there is a place in this world that is closest to Hell, Africa is probably it.

[Meadow Muffin]

If I am not mistaken, didn't this guy murder, MURDER, 4 innocent people....what is so heroic about that? Plus he got 20 yers free time on our dime......thwy ought to scatter his ashes in the garbage pile.

And these so called "stars" I just add them to the list of movies to NOT go see if they are in them. We refuse to donate to their pockets by seeing any movies they are in.

I wonder if "Spikole" will be toking a few for Tookie

[USNA74]

How nice. And afterwards perhaps they can swing by any of the graves of the four innocent people he killed.

[CAPTAINSUPERMARVELMAN]

Aw who gives a rats...!

[Alouette]

ashes to be scattered in South Africa

They should also throw some of his dirt on Zimbabwe. Maybe something will grow.

[brwnsuga]

They know damn well Tookie's from South Central, why are they sprinkling his ahes in South Africa? I've never heard anything sillier. That plane ticket over could feed a few families for a few months. But don't get it twisted, Tookiess family has plenty of money because he was still running things from his cell. Thats whay he refused to renounce the crips.

[Uncle Hal]

I read some place that they were expecting 16,000 people. I guess they plan on renting the Forum or Staples arena. I believe the Forum is owned by a church group. Maybe they will sell peanuts and crackerjacks. I cannot believe anybody would rent a facility to this group. I would want a lot of insurance.

[nmh]

Looks like all the low lifers are getting together.

Birds of a feather, flock together.

[rattrap]

Hey, at least his remains are leaving the country, this is good news if you ask me.
