Stanley "Tookie" Williams
I had an opportunity last night to view "Redemption" last night about the Crips co-founder Tookie Williams. I also thought that based on his incredible turnaround from a gang member on death row in San Quentin, to a Nobel Prize for Peace and Literature nominee for his advocacy and dedication. He is still alive, but I don't know how much longer he has to live, but there is a petition ask Groping Girly-Man to grant clemency to him. I signed it, and it is located at Tookie's website at www.tookie.com

His story has touched me. And I am whitey.

1. The sad thing about this is, I'm afraid
had Tookie been incarcerated in TX, he would have most likely been executed by now. And if Ah-nold gets any coaching from *, Tookie's life is already in peril.
