pittsey, u think he does more than most politicians, uve got to be kidding me, not everyone is a complete moron like George W. we do have some good politicans out there fighting for us and our rights.....i find it ammusing how u say this and yet i have never heard of Tookie before reading this news. Tookie has done a mass amount of bad, and a tinnie tiny bit of good.....
KID: "Oh, mommy won't u buy this book for me?"
MOTHER:"Sure son who is the author?"
KID:"It says he's a deathrow inmate, convicted killer and rapist and created one of the most powerful and violent gangs ever!!!!"
MOTHER:Now that's just the person i want my song learning from, how much is it let me make sure i have enough money in my purse."
How many Politicians do you know off? You know there's 100's of them in each country don't you. If they're doing so much, how come we hear very little of them. Except when there's a rap album to slate or when there's a scandal that involves them. Most politicians do very little apart from pick up a nice little cheque from after dinner speaking at the local Golf club.
Tookie was able to stop Bloods and Crips from killing each other. On his influence alone a peace treaty was formed. This treaty is flawed and may not be ideal, but that alone saved dozens of lives. And we can't even predict the amount of kids he's reached and saved with his books. So although I don't condone his actions, nor do I suggest he be released from Prison, I stand by the statement I made. He probably has done more, and had more influence by most politicians.
And George W Bush, although an imbecile, gets far too much hate.
