Here in California....there was a recent execution of a viscious murderer, an
individual who is credited with being the one who started the Crips street
gang.


Not only was he executed for murdering several people.....the gang he started
are responsiple for hundreds of deaths over the years.


The governor refused to pardon him at the last moment, and the execution took
place on schedule.


There was a funeral and celebration of his life that would equal that of a
person of governor or ambassador rank!


And the celebrities! Gang members. Motivational speakers. The `revrund' Jesse
Jackson spoke out strongly against the execution (what else) and called
Williams `a healer'.


They even sold t-shirts with Williams' photo on it (I wonder if it was a photo
from one of his mug shots).


Only in the inner city in Los Angeles could anyone ever think to `memorialize'
someone like Williams. And Jesse Jackson along with various celebreties would
be right at home among that group.
