We all have crime and violence in our communities throughout North America, but I work and live within the Golden state-California,US of A. It was in California,particularly So.Central L.A , where young, disenfranchised poor black youth created a petty street gang that has grown to a loosely based DISEASE that can be found almost every corner of N.America and even in parts of the rest of the world-I'm talking about the Crips street gang.Like people who have recently touted the violence of supergangs like 18th street and Mara Salva Trucha, the Crips has spread to almost every town and its degenerate behavior has not only Blks, but asians, rural whts, even middle eastern immigrants turning to its "street appeal" inlieu of trying to live a normal crime free life. Can one man be blamed for this tragedy that takes the lives of hundreds of youths a yr? One need only look at the example of hitler,Stalin,Pol Pot, and the answer will historically ring true.
I am talking about the deviant co-creator of the L.A. Based Crips, Stanley "Tookie" Williams- a freakishly muscle bound nightmare who, in 1979 execution style MURDERED (4) people in two seperate robberies for a total of $220 dollars .He has been repeatedly denied stay of execution due to the strong circumstantial evidence, legit witness info, and even his own incriminating statements that led to his original conviction.His proponents,from the anti- death penalty, to more radical community activists who scream racism, always seem to over look the trial evidence and conviction.They claim that "Tookie" is this honest ,self redeemed individual who has helped change the face of street gangs in the U.S. by writing books and "speaking out againsty gangs" ( Tookie has NEVER refuted his part in creating the Crips, nor has he DENOUNCED the gangs themselves, as it would make him look like a "PUNK"!) I know that there are many in Canada that don't like the death penalty and se it as barbaric, but sadly can leaving a vicious ,unrepentent man locked in 24 hr solitary be any more "humane"? (tookie continues to be a threat to prison officials and other prisoners due to his influence on Crips gang members in prison )."Ahn-nuld", the California "Governator" has denied clemency , and with this ,sent a message that being in gangs and terrorizing the community has grim results.Maybe in this cruel manner young people can see that crime has a terrible price to pay......
