Four people I wish I could have talked to...
Albert Owens, TsaiI-Shai Yang, Yen-I Yang, Ye-Chen Lin most likely never thought that their fixation on getting a Slurpee one day would lead to what I think is a beginning of new lows in the American moral fabric. People came out in droves to plead for the life of Stanley Williams, or "Big Took" as his fellow gang members called him. A man who helped start one of the most viscous gangs in America, a person who probably was responsible for more pain and death in this country than any 10 in ANY prison here. Yet there people were, following such amazing intellectuals such as Snoop Dogg, Mike Farrell, Jamie Foxx, and Bianca Jagger in a lemming-like state. I wonder sometimes if these people ever had a sense for right and wrong.
Myself, I believe Tookie got off easy. No pain, not much suffering, just a slow sleep, and right into death. No pain, or spray of your relations blood as a shotgun blast ripped them apart. No desperate pleading for his life at the hands of a maniacal killer. Just sleep.
I ask myself, would Tookie have "found the light" of redemption if he hadn't been caught and prosecuted? Would he have changed if his sentence wasn't death? I highly doubt either of these things. In fact, I'm willing to bet large sums of money that he would have died like his victims eventually, living a lifestyle of pain. I hope he carries with him into the afterlife the scars he inflicted on his countless victims. Burn in hell Tookie... Even Hitler made children's books.

I thought the same thing. There's the pre-emptive "I'm sorry I ____ and won't ever do it again" and then there's "I'm sorry I got caught". Big difference there.
Hitler made children's books? Really? Interesting.
Just to clarify, Owens *worked* at a 7 Eleven, and the Yangs were not involved with a 7 Eleven at all.
To all of you who supported Stanley Williams,
Help Me Understand the Inner City
What is wrong with you people? How can you extol as a hero a convicted, condemned, and executed four-time murderer and notorious gang leader and, at the same time, wonder why your neighborhoods are rife with crime, drugs, and bloodshed? Can’t you see that the behaviors that put bars on your windows and teenagers in the morgue are the very same you are fighting to preserve; that honoring self-proclaimed criminals like Stanley Williams promotes everything that is killing your neighborhoods? Where is the sense?
Over and over the blight that plagues the inner cities of this country are blamed on “The [White] Man” when it is the members of these communities who refuse to stand up and fight the gangs and fight the drugs and fight the violence; blame comes easier than solution, I suppose.
When [you] give Stanley Williams the honor of being “King of the Kwanza Parade” or mourn him with a hero’s funeral, then you forfeit the right to complain about the natural result; increased gang activity and more coffins for your babies. You don’t get to create and support murderers and then complain when the streets run red with the blood of your children.
As a community, either stand up and say no to the violence or quit whining about it and relegate your kids to early graves, but you don’t get to do both.
