Tookie Williams co-founded a group in Los Angeles called the Crips, a gang that is very dangerous and has killed thousands of people.
Tookie was convicted of murdering Albert Owens at a 7/11 store for $122. Tookie was also convicted of killing Robert Yang and his father, mother and sister for $600 in the late 70’s. Tookie has been on death row since then, and he is to be given the death penalty on December 13th, 2005.
Crips are so violent that their initiation into the gang is to commit a crime, such as murder, in front of other members. Females can choose this rite of initiation or they can be “sexed in,” which means they get “gang-banged” by several members.
I have a rule - if I would not do something, I will not ask someone else to do it. I do not want to kill Tookie or anyone else, so if I won’t do it I wouldn’t ask anyone else to end Tookie’s life. Although I believe one could make a good case for Tookie not being a citizen of the world.
Snoop-Dog was rallying for the Took this weekend. I was not.
