Shots heard after the Stanley "Tookie" Williams memorial service
LOS ANGELES Just after the four-hour service for executed murderer, and Crips gang co-founder Stanley "Tookie" Williams, mourners dropped to the ground as gunshots went off about a block away.
Security guards told the crowd things were under control. Groups from different gangs had begun taunting each other. No one was hurt.
During the service, speakers ranged from Snoop Dogg and Bianca Jagger to the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Some told the crowd Williams had done good work in prison, writing children's books warning against joining gangs. Others denounced capital punishment.
The 51-year-old Williams was executed December 13th for the 1979 shotgun murders of a convenience store clerk and three motel owners.
Click, Click, Click... Boom!
Bianca Jagger spoke at his funeral?
Famous for being famous...what is her connection?
Blowing TAPS?
I thought you requested "Busting CAPS".
Does not remind one of Reagan's.
ROFLMAO! Hypocracy on parade...
Since this has all started, you would think that Tookie's supporters would at least point out the book titles and where they are being sold at. Not once have I heard any of this information.

Think I saw one the other day. It was right next to some San Fransican's version of Curious George. Aptly titled Bi Curious George.

This morning I opened the rag paper(I get it free at work) and found a 1/2 page spread and a picture of Tookies casket. I was livid. I wrote this to the Editor of the Rag paper. I feel better now.
“Tookie” the Hero.
Once again your newspaper (which I read for free) has me shaking my head. Why would you give a big spread December 21 (AP) to for “Tookie” the killer? Don’t you people have any dignity? Why don’t you erect a statue of your beloved “Tookie” in front of the Standard Speaker building this way you can admire the killer everyday? It is bad enough that you are a Newspaper that gets your articles from a liberal bias AP but doesn’t anyone in charge there know the difference between good and evil.
Do you and your staff know who Robert Dean Stethem is? Why don’t you go Google an AP article on him? I would love to see a half page tribute to Mr. Stethem a real American Hero, who murdered 20 years ago because he was an American Marine. I don’t recall an article or picture in your paper on him during the summer to remember his brutal death by an Islamic Terrorist, but then again I’m not surprised.
"Famous for being famous...what is her connection?"
Somwhere between her knees and her waist.
HAHA! But that's just regular equipment.
A RAP lyric: "Dey went pop, pop, pop 'till dey sees de Crip boss drop..."
"what is her connection?"
She is also a famous Democrat libertine and drug-addict.
Probably Tookie's customer, too.
It amazes me who the Democrats celebrate and hold up.
Trophy wife.
Next thing that's going to happen is that the sun will rise in the East.I think I know who did this - roaming gangs of little kids unhappy that they won't get next month's installment of Tookie's childrens book.
Oh how I long for the days when the only thing that happened at the funerals of gang thugs was when their homies would "Tip A 40" to their memory and hope that their departed member would end up in the "Gangsta Lean".
