Nevertheless, you still have choices, because there were many that group up in those neighborhoods and didn't join gangs. So anybody who joined the crips, made that decision because they chose to. NOT BECAUSE TOOKIE MADE THEM. I am not saying that he isn't responsbile for his own actions, but he is not responsible for someone else's. Besides I think he has done more than any other man can possibly do from behind bars to stop gang violence.

He is responsible due to his involvement with the creation of that notorious gang. Without his creating it, those kids may have had other influences that would have steered them in a different direction in life. That goes for Tookie as well as any and all other creators of these gangs we have to deal with today.
