SAVE STANLEY "TOOKIE" WILLIAMS

A MESSAGE FROM STEWART A. ALEXANDER

It is very well known that Stanley “Tookie” Williams was the co-founder of the infamous Crips. However our local, state and federal governments made gang involvement profitable for gang members and corporate America. This lucrative market has thrived in the African American community.

Our officials at all levels of government turned and looked the other way and allowed drugs to proliferate on the streets of California and America and turned our families, homes and neighborhoods into kennels of death. The lives of African Americans are no more than a profitable venture for corporate America, not for good but for evil.

The plan is broad in scope: build more prisons, create the environment for crime, then create institutions to houses our victims. We will even show how committed we are to punishing the criminal; we will put them to death. But in reality the system itself has become the criminal.

The three strikes law is a life sentence. Rehabilitation is just a front. Plea bargaining is an endless process. False arrest and false imprisonment will create big business. The courts are now in grid lock, the jails and prisons are over crowded, and the only thing simple to understand about the system is that it’s black, brown and white, mostly black.

In the 80’s, 90’s and today drugs have paid for food, gas, electric, transportation, housing and entertainment in the African American communities. What is going on in America?
It seems to me that our system is part of a world class (as in social class) money laundering criminal scheme involving trillions of dollars and engaging in criminal activities for the benefit of corporate America.

The criminal justice system in America has created a partnership with the drug lords and corporate America and is in no position to demand that any individual pay the ultimate price. As Jesus Christ said , “He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone”.

Tookie Williams is an American son. America created Tookie Williams. Now his most outstanding crime is that he’s turning the youth of America away from crime and gangs. For that alone there is a rush to put him to death.

Stanley Tookie Williams is only the byproduct of a system that is not qualified to take his life or any life. Today we need social and judicial reform in California and America and we need to take crime out of our criminal justice system and corporate America.
