Hundreds Pay Respects to Tookie WilliamsA line of 200 stretched out the door shortly after the six-hour viewing began in mid-afternoon. More than an hour later, the line had dissipated but people were still streaming through.
typical MSM misleading headline, but technically I guess 200 does qualify as "hundreds"

It's disgraceful that our so-called "black leaders" and "cultural icons" have so pilloried prominent African-Americans (Sowell, Rice, Powell, etc), and glorified society's trash. What we're stuck with is this - the Tookie generation.
Thanks Jackson, Hollywood, et al, for selling out yet another generation of promising African-Americans, leaving them with your only chosen role model, a murdering gang-banger.

A line of 200 stretched out the doorThat's stretching to fill a paragraph with the notion that someone cares.

Wow!
Took 200 peoples' about 400 minutes to get through the line. Musta been either lots of time for cry tissues, or lots of time to get up a good hawker for his grave!
Tookster, I think your time's up. Best git back into your coffin!

"Hundreds"? California has 35 million people, and "hundreds" turned out? I don't think this is the send-off the Hollywood whining liberals hoped for.You're right.

"Mostly everyone is out here because of his reputation,"
-----Glad to hear you worship murderers
Lori Tompkins, 48, of Los Angeles, said she came "to say goodbye to our homeboy and also give support to his family." "We feel he was innocent and wrongly killed," she added
-----Also nice to know how you have no regard for the people he murdered and choose to pay your respects to the killer and the ones that spawned this murderer. Says alot about your character and intelligence, Lori Tompkins.

Is it any wonder a certain segment of society never seem to advance themselves?
It's because their "homeboys" are people like Tookie Williams.
