Tookie, go straight to hell on a Hallmark card, because we care to send the very best.

You are Satan's bitch now. May he butt-fuck you for all eternity.

Minor details my man. Minor details that the news media has conveniently forgotten. I am going to send to the editor of the Los Angeles Times a link to the above images

"The war within me is over. I battled my demons and I was triumphant," Williams said in a recording played to mourners, whom he asked 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."

i'll give him props for that, he WAS trying to guide kids away from thug life. but in the end, you still gotta pay the piper his due and there were four bodies crying for justice.

Several dozen gang members wearing blue attire associated with Crips gangs watched the funeral in the parking lot. One who identified himself as "Killowatt the Third," age 33, estimated there were 20 to 30 Crips-affiliated gangs there to honor Williams.

"That's my role model, man. That's the CEO of the Crips," he said.

i don't quite think this stupid motherfucker gets it...

Here's my take on it.......these "celebrities" and others in attendance are there for themselves....not Tookie. Look at the press they are getting! They are catering to that sect of civilization that don't think for themselves. They will turn this into $$$ for themselves eventually.

Also, if they truly believed in Tookie then why aren't they trying harder to promote peace in the ghettos of America? C'mon Snoop, put your money where your mouth is and help these kids that are born into the ghettos have a chance.

If Tookie was sincere in his changing viewpoint then I think that's great.......why don't these "supporters" remember him the best way possible and promote peace in the "hood" as well? He may have turned his life around but that does not excuse your actions in my book. He was deserving of the death penalty and hopefully his change of heart (and soul?) has granted him forgiveness from the only One that matters.

ok, i'm definitely no fan of rap crap or thug life but snoop dogg actually does do a lot in his community. he's actually a family man and coaches his son's little league basketball team. he's also got some charity thing for kids but i can't remember the name of it. he also supports afterschool/midnight basketball programs and did a "support the troops" concert recently.

he's kinda turned his back on the thug life, calling it "stale" at one time.

but that's one out of how many...

It seems to me certain members of american society do not feel laws set in place to protect citizens and punish the crimminal element which protects all americans, applies to them.

To the prejudcial,hating for reasons of division and strife, there always seems to be a conspiricy by the powers that be to demote and afflict minorities in every way.

Even to the point when a person takes up a shotgun and in cold blood goes on a killing spree, murdering innocent people with premeditated crimminal intent showing no mercy to them who beg for their own lives in vain.

To bragg and openly discuss the intensity and severity of the dead victim's head and stomach wounds, laughing at gruesome details.

Why would anyone of any race no matter what there political views and affilliations want to take a chance on releasing or supporting for life a heinous convicted killer such as this?

It is statistically evident that the death penilty even with it's untimely length of due process is more of a deterent to capitol murder crimes than life in prison sentencing alone.

What more can I say?

I'm thinking there were 20-30 GANGS there, not gang-members. The gangs that showed up were affiliated with the Crips.

Hundreds gather for Williams' funeral

Tuesday, December 20, 2005; Posted: 8:30 p.m. EST (01:30 GMT)

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Celebrities from hip-hop star Snoop Dogg to motivational speaker Tony Robbins lamented the execution of Stanley Tookie Williams at a funeral Tuesday that drew hundreds to the violence-wracked area where Williams founded the murderous Crips gang three decades ago.

Under heavy police presence, mourners including gang members flashing hand signs waited in line to enter the 1,500-seat Bethel AME Church for a ceremony that stretched more than four hours.

After the service, many of those outside the church dropped to the ground after hearing what sounded like three gunshots about a block away, but there were no injuries and no arrests.

Vendors sold T-shirts with Williams' picture, and a large TV set up in the parking lot allowed the overflow crowd to watch the service. Williams was executed December 13 despite clemency pleas from celebrities and others who said he had rededicated his life to peace.

"It's nine-fifteen on twelve-thirteen and another black king will be taken from the scene," Snoop Dogg told mourners, reciting a poem about the execution. The line "I don't believe Stan did it" drew wild applause in the parking lot.

Williams, 51, was put to death by injection at San Quentin Prison for the 1979 shotgun murders of a 7-Eleven clerk and three motel owners.

"The war within me is over. I battled my demons and I was triumphant," Williams said in a recording played to mourners, whom he asked 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."

The Rev. Jesse Jackson decried the execution of Williams, who Jackson said saw himself in the end as a "healer, not a predator."

"Tookie is dead. We're not safer, we're not more secure, we're not more humane," Jackson said.

Robbins told the mourners he knew Williams only a short time but said he had "so much rage and so much anger" after his execution.

While on death row, Williams wrote children's books warning against gang life. Those efforts attracted supporters who lobbied for clemency, arguing Williams had redeemed himself. But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was unconvinced, and refused to spare his life.

Several dozen gang members wearing blue attire associated with Crips gangs watched the funeral in the parking lot. One who identified himself as "Killowatt the Third," age 33, estimated there were 20 to 30 Crips-affiliated gangs there to honor Williams.

"That's my role model, man. That's the CEO of the Crips," he said.

Al Birdsong, 54, a school security officer who waited for hours to get into the funeral, said Williams did not deserve to be executed after more than two decades in prison.

"I'm here to pay my respects to humanity, and that goes to Tookie and everyone else they do in. ... What if it was your son?" Birdsong said. "He's no different from any other human being. We all made mistakes."

Keelonnie Roberts, 23, of Torrance, said her father was a Crip who used to tell her tales of gang life. Although Roberts never met Williams, she said, "He seemed like a sweet man to me."

Mourner Rick Hayes, 36, of Compton, wore a T-shirt with the slogan, "What does redemption mean ...," which he had made. If Williams was unable to earn clemency from the governor, "what can a black man do, what can he do in society, to get another chance at life?" Hayes asked.

In his will, Williams asked that his remains be cremated and the ashes scattered over South Africa.

Tuesday's ceremony was not the first public funeral for an executed inmate.

About 300 people attended a San Francisco service for Robert Alton Harris, a murderer whose 1992 execution was the first in 25 years after a death penalty ban and became a rallying point for opponents of capital punishment.

So, if/when NY or IL ever executes a mob guy, will we see this same reaction?

What a piece of fucking shit. I hope satans fucking him in the ass.

This guy could have lived out the rest of his years in prison if he would have just admitted to the evidence that he willing murdered people in cold blood and then showed some remoarse. He decided not to knowing he would get death. HE WANTED THE DEATH HE RECEIVED!

To say he was a changed man is bullshit. Let's think about the legacy he left behind 1000's of crip gangs all over the world causing all sorts of violent crimes.

Rot in hell Tookie

What I find the most irritating about this whole nonsense is that instead of having a service where they remember Tookie and talk about the "good" things he did in life all they did was spend 4 hours slinging BS about how he shouldn't have been executed and the state did him wrong.

Mourner Rick Hayes, 36, of Compton, wore a T-shirt with the slogan, "What does redemption mean ...," which he had made. If Williams was unable to earn clemency from the governor, "what can a black man do, what can he do in society, to get another chance at life?" Hayes asked.

Uh, how about get a job, work hard at it, and change your life? I don't know, just something to consider while your griping about how terrible everything is but not doing anything about it. Tookie chose his path, no one else did it for him. He could've gone to school and worked hard, instead he killed 4 people and now he's dead, end of story.

OK stupid question:

Every time someone decries his execution, the first thing they talk about are his 'children's books'. Has anyone actually SEEN one of these books, or are they up there with M-16 pistol grips marked 'Mattel'?

Serious. Because in all the coverage, I've never seen a picture, or heard a reporter say 'author of.....' with any titles. Not saying he didn't write any, but there's never any specific information other than vague references to 'children's books.' For such an upstanding citizen and gifted writer, I'm unfamiliar with any of his work.

I have, however seen graphic evidence of his 'other' work....the crime scene photos.
