A Peace Message From Stanley "Tookie" Williams

To disarm is the ultimate gesture of peace and a true moment of reckoning. [More]
Tookie, co-founder of the Crips, is on death row awaiting a December "moment of reckoning" for the brutal shotgun executions of four people he was robbing. Ironic--now that it's his turn, he doesn't want to die.

Yeah... we are supposed to take peace tips from a guy on death row, who helped form the Crips. um. isn't that like taking freedom tips from Karl Marx?

NPR actually gave this guy some airtime the other day. He still insists he is innocent. He also refuses to provide information to law enforcement that might help in combating gangs.

Peace to you, too, Tookie. When your "moment of reckoning" comes, I hope you'll enjoy your new location.
