Sickening
Could be a closet moose convert.
I wish I could be there so I could look at his body and LOUDLY say, "You should have have heard the sounds he made when they executed him."
The size of each book is: 7 1/2" by 7" and 24 pages in length. The books have full-color photographs, a Glossary, index and Pronunciation Guide to new words for children at those levels.
Message to black youth:
What message does this send to black youth? Here is a man that refused to admit to the murders he perpetrated, or appologize for them. He took credit for starting a gang whose members killed countless people, and inspired the startup of countless gangs who also killed an unknown number of people.
Then someone wrote some books that sold in single digits in some instances, double digits in others, put his name on them and claimed these books influenced over a hundred thousand kids from joining gangs.
Then you had some lame people nominate Tookie for the Nobel Peace Prize and also the Nobel Prize for Literature. What an elaborate sham!
When Tookie was put to death, no gangs claimed him. There was no big commotion. These folks never knew Tookie. His name meant nothing to them.
The propaganda surrounding Tookie having to face justice, is a classic example of what is wrong with too much of the black community in the United States these days. While successful black men are called Uncle Toms and dismissed as role models, the Tookie Williamses are lofted as men of honor and victims of a racist society.
This is revolting on the face of it. It is also a very sad commentary on the future of all too many black youth who will be misled, sent down the wrong path in honor of the Tookies among them.
Yes, I guess it means he's made his peace with the world, and is now elsewhere...
Almost be worth going by there just to make sure the MF is really dead - as long as it wasn't as far away as across the street...
I guess it would be hard to send out funeral invitations featuring "Lowlife scum-sucking vertebrate Tookie Williams".
Overflow viewing will take place outside of the church on jumbotron screens.
"Intermission will feature jugglers, a bearded lady, and a dancing bear. Don't forget to stop by the midway for a chance to win valuable prizes."
Tookie laughed about the sounds that his victims made while dying.
Let's have a few good laughs over Tookie's corpse.
yup , but how's this?? Let the BLOODS drag him around , literally!! tied to the bumper of one of their H2's , they'd wanna take turns[no doubt]
"Peace Maker."
Stan (the bloody hand man) Williams, could be described as a peace maker of sorts within the lobes of the brains of the twisted minded.Tookie's method of making peace was violent and unmerciful for sure, but it never failed. No one is more peaceful than those the sonovabitch slaughtered.
Strange how he fought for 25 years to prevent Justice from rewarding him with the same peace he had so generously bestowed upon others.
We should FReep the RSVPs -- make them think there will be thousands of people coming....
Fitting...
