Rest In Peace, Or Don't, I Don't Care.

Stanley 'Tookie" Williams death warrant was signed today.

Do you know this guy?

He's the co-founder of the most murderous, drug dealing, anti-black gang in the history of the world, The Crips.

Williams is scheduled to die Dec. 13 at San Quentin prison. He maintains he is innocent, and supporters cite his renunciation of his past and his efforts to curtail gang violence, including a series of children's books he co-wrote in prison.

And yes, I said anti-black.

Think about it.

In the 80's and early 90's what did gang mentality, led by The Crips, and public perception because of it do to the black movement?

You're all smart people, I won't go into detail, but Tookie should go down in history as The Black Cancer.

I would bet this murderer, Tookie, set his people back 20 years.

My personal experience goes something like this...

In the late 80's and early 90's I was having a great time going to LA/Hollywood, going to clubs, (fake ID in hand, at least until '91), and what did we do when we saw a black person?

We avoided them, and didn't make eye contact.

Today that would sound racist, but at that time it was a very real and valid fear. There were drive-by's on a daily basis in LA.

Gangs used to say they would spray from 7 to 70's, suggesting they would use their uzi's to kill everyone in the area of a rival gang-member, as long as he was dead too.

I remember one very specific example, because I was at the same event, and the victims were my age.

After a Supercross at the Coliseum in LA, a 19 year old couple were apparently lost, and couldn't find their car. They went into the wrong neighborhood, and were both gunned down by gang members.

And why?

I think we all know. The gangs were evil people, pure and simple.

What does a reputation like that do for race relations?

It instilled fear, and distrust of young black men.

We can thank Tookie for that.

At this point Tookie has had a cable TV movie made about him, Redemption, starring Jamie Foxx, he has been nominated for 5 Nobel Peace Prizes, and co-written a series of anti-violence childrens books.

That's all good and nice, but here's the deal.

Tookie was 27 when he killed the four people he was convicted of killing. Old enough to know better.

Williams, 53, was sentenced to death in 1981 for fatally shooting Albert Owens, a Whittier convenience store worker, in 1979. He also was convicted of killing two Los Angeles motel owners and their daughter during a robbery that same year.

Please note, a witness to Owens murder testified that Tookie mocked the gurgling sound that his victim made as he was dying.

If Tookie truly wants to be a role-model, he should accept his death penalty.

I say that because if he doesn't, he is saying that you can go out and be pure evil, hate and murder, but just transform sometime later, co-write some books for kids, talk about anti-violence, and your off the hook.

That's crap, Tookie can further his role-model status by taking responsibility, and accepting his punishment (death).

He is scheduled to be executed December 13th, he could use his kids book money to make a documentary. It could show the journey of not only A gang member, but the BIGGEST gang member of all time, if you murder, you die too. It doesn't matter what you do later, you die too.

He should end it by saying, Young people, don't join gangs, don't kill people, or you'll end up like me, dead, one way or the other.

If he is allowed to live, it gives a free pass to all future murderers.
