hubby and i were chatting about this last night. i am thinking that perhaps williams making a complete turn around and participating in the solution (writing books against ganglife, working with the naacp) and doing something to enhance the quality of life of our community (writing childrens books), is a significant way he is repaying for his crimes and contribution to gang life.
because our justice system is so flawed, when there are people who are actually doing what they are suppose to do as convicted felons of tookie's magnitude, perhaps the system doesnt know what to do with that 'energy' or in some cases doesnt want to invest in taking the time.
i do think that he is indirectly responsible. he created the vehicle by which many of our people have lost their lives and/or have contributed to our community's problems. he does and should bear that burden.

Yes he created a dangerous gang, but to hold him accountable for every single member of the crips who's committed a crime? I have a problem with that.
