...including gang members flashing hand signs

because? are they too stupid to remember who else is in their gang?

[Jigsaw John]

estimated there were 20 to 30 Crips

What a joke. They could barely fill a church and 20 gang members show up.

Sad......

The gates to eternal pain are awaiting for thee, tookie.

Tookie dookie.

And again and again.

To hell with the POS and all who worship and supported him.

"The war within me is over. I battled my demons and I was triumphant," Williams said on the tape, in which he asked listeners to spread a message to loved ones. "Teach them how to avoid our destructive footsteps. Teach them to strive for higher education. Teach them to promote peace and teach them to focus on rebuilding the neighborhoods that you, others and I helped to destroy," he said..

His execution, and that of many more on death row, will probably do more to avoid his destructive ways than anything else he did.

Jackson said that at the end Williams saw himself as a "healer, not a predator,"

Well, I guess that means that we shouldn't have executed him, since his own self-perception had changed. /sarc

Never mind, that the 4 people he killed are still dead. Hey Jesse, President Bush perceives himself as defending the USA. Are you going to now become a supporter of him?

[popdonnelly]

Jerks.

[dc-zoo]

Is that a throng or "Thong"?

[Brilliant]

I wonder how many of these celebrities attended the victims' funerals?

[KarinG1]

My mother would have said, "Good riddance to bad rubbish." Mother had a way with words.

The only good to come out of this mess is that the murderer is finally dead after all the years of being supported by the tax payers.

"another black king will be taken from the scene,"

A black king? The man is a murderer who founded a gang that has killed thousands. I'm amazed anyone could see him as someone to look up to. I think MLK would be rolling over in his grave if he saw what passed for a black hero these days.

It's nine-fifteen on twelve-thirteen and another black king will be taken from the scene," he said. A stanza that stated, "I don't believe Stan did it," drew wild applause in the parking lot.

So if Stan wasn't the one to blame
Why did he laugh about the victim who was slain
The noise he made as he fought for life
The father who would never again see his children or wife
You can paint this thug out to be a hero to all
But in the end Stan "tookie" Williams was nothing like that, nothing at all.....

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[BurbankKarl]

There have been a bunch of shootings too!

[goldstategop]

I'm utterly touched; I'm crying and choked up with tears. I could feel pity for this man and be in awe of this moving scene - except for one little detail. Williams was a quadruple murderer and that fact alone renders me cold. I certainly can't extend the milk of human kindness to someone who never showed an ounce of human kindness to others when he was alive. Sorry if I can't feel anything akin to what I described the outset. It is just is that I don't deem a murderer worthy of being remembered and most people share my view in this regard.
