It really pisses me off when the ultra lefties waste so much energy defending someone who has caused so many damn problems and caused so much death and violence, simply because this person is black, and was "fighting the man" or some other liberal justification for pointless violence.
Let us not forget that more than the blood of 4 people is on his hands. He founded the Crips, a gang that has been responsible for the bloodshed of more black youths than all the bad cops in the country combined.
He started a gang, a gang that to this day still plagues poor communities in a pointless and neverending bloody rivalry wit the Bloods, and that has inspired many more offshoot gangs that continue their frenzy of violence, claiming the lives of so many inner city kids long before their prime.
Its the same crap the lefties were whinning about Mumia Abu-Jamal. Simply because he was a black guy who shot a cop, it was obviously "in self defense". If he was a white guy, you wpuld have no one comming to his aid.
I dont care if the Catholic Church wants to cannonize him. Williams has helped ruined the live of more black people than the KKK could have ever dreamed.
Let him have his shot at the Supreme Court and then execute him. Nobel nominee or not, lets not forget the 4 people he brutally murdered.
Despite a blatant attempt by left leaning media to portray him in an angelic light on TV recently the fact remains that he killed four people.

Sure he's a criminal, a REFORMED criminal, a writer, an educator, an activist, a scholar, a nobel prize nominee. And y'all want to kill him. That's just sick.

Once again, you don't appear to have any idea what you're talking about. The bloods are now a community service organization, and their leaders spend all their time coordinating the construction of basketball courts, community centers, and playgrounds. The frenzy of violence you mention was here long before tookie, and long before you, and long before America.
The three gangs consistently mentioned by local police agencies as their most serious problem were the Bloods, Crips and Latin Kings. Those three gangs also have the largest estimated aggregate membership(New Jersey): Bloods (4,000), Latin Kings (2,345) and Crips (2,100).
now with the second option all that has been accomplished is yet another dead person. another family left to mourn and depending on who you ask i guess it could be another innocent person executed.
Are you serious? I see and deal with bloods/crips almost everyday and had a good laugh at that.
These gangs are a disease with clear intentions of spreading and promoting violence.
Now I know, this is a press release from those corrupt cops but maybe you're right.
I am a huge believer in personal responsibility, and I think society also should be 'personally' responsbile for every one of its segments.

Political sniping much? I'm not in any way affiliated with the left, and I support this man. The venom is unwarranted, and it's not even topical. You're just dragging baggage into this thread.
Why do I support him you ask?
1.) He admits he committed many crimes, but still protests his innocence regarding the convictions that earned him the death penalty. The evidence is not there, the police work was at the very least negligent, if not racist, and the jury was manipulated for the benefit of the state's case.
2.) Because he knows he did wrong, he has never expressed any desire to go free. He simply wants to remain alive so he can continue to serve the community by writing and educating people on the dangers of gangs, and the power of positive thinking.
3.) He didn't start the gang to hurt people, he started the gang to protect himself and his few friends from around the neighborhood. The motives for the formation of the gang are completely understandable, and once it got started it had a will of its own. Regardless of what you think, he thought he was doing a good thing. You focus on how many lives he supposedly stole, but have you ever stopped to think about how many lives he saved by forming the gang?
4.) The man writes critically aclaimed children's books educating young people about street life and the dangers of gang involvement. He does more for the betterment of our society than 90% of people living in this country, including you I'd wager. Your disgust and anger are not shared by the man himself, who has learned some very important lessons over the course of his life. He is no longer a rash, impetuous, violent youth, he has transformed himself into a well-read, soft-spoken scholar. He no longer belongs in prison, but it's his wish to remain there, so I support him in that.
