It’s been a week since the government-induced passing of Tookie Williams in California’s penal system. The drama that ensued prior to his death - bleeding hearts and celebrities begging for a stay of execution – continues post mortem. This eclectic bunch still puts the founding father of the Crips on a pedestal, holding memorials galore and demanding that he receive a burial befitting a statesman.

Only in California, the epicenter of weirdness, could such misguided affection occur. The very liberal residents of that State have a history of taking up any cause that the Hollywood crowd attacks in earnest. Even so, when you have a case such as this where it is clearly obvious that Williams was evil incarnate, you can’t help but wonder what became of the general population’s common sense. How could they follow noticeably strange celebrities such as Sean Penn, Snoop Dogg and Russel Crowe into the abyss of promoting the life of a devil?

This attainment of devilhood is completely contradictory to the picture painted by celebrities and liberals over the past few months. They want America to believe that he was a changed man. He wasn’t. No repentance, especially one as false as his, can correct the wrongs he committed or stop the evil dominos he set in motion by forming the Crips gang. Tookie was a devil as a youngster, a devil during incarceration, and a devil he will remain in the annals of history.

The reasons he was put to death were his transgressions as a younger man, specifically when he murdered four people in cold blood. Two of those people were so elderly that he could have got what he wanted – their money – with nary a show of violence. Instead, he took it upon himself to snuff out their lives with a shotgun and joke of their subsequent struggle to breath through blood-soaked lungs. Execution was worthy for such murders, especially since he showed no remorse then, or in the twenty-five years since.

The reason for payback of sins doesn’t end there. His greatest accomplishment of evil was creating the Crips. To this day the Crips have kept a stranglehold upon Los Angles, making the city an infested Beirut-like war zone. Very similar gangs have followed the lead of the Crips, appearing in at least eighteen metropolitan centers across the nation. The Crips and their rip-offs have terrorized millions of innocent citizens through rapes, assaults, robberies and turf wars. These same gangs have created a moral depravity within the inner cities, accounting for the continued collapse of these locations and sending its black and Latino masses further into ruin.

Tookie should have been put to death for creating the Crips. He wasn’t, but it does further justify the legitimacy of his execution. The California bleeding hearts would like all to believe Tookie has minimal responsibility with the Crips. Not so. He and his Crips can be easily compared to Hitler. Hitler created a murderous brand of terror called the Third Reich that ruined a society. Tookie, too, created a murderous brand of terror that has contributed to the ruin of a society. Neither man directly murdered the lives impacted by their organizations. But, nonetheless, they set the tone and put everything in motion. So much like we did everything in our power to make Hitler pay for his sins - even though there was no blood on his hands specifically – it was only fitting the same fate befell Williams.

It was hoped by the Tookie faithful that his life could be spared on the basis he was a changed man. Was he? Tookie failed as man and it was a lifetime of failure. The district attorney’s report indicated he was disciplined eleven times between 1981 and 1993 for actions conducted while in the penitentiary. Eight of these involved violence, a few taken to extreme levels, including assault upon his guards.

Execution is not a pretty thing. In an eye-for-an-eye society such as ours it is a necessary evil, despite its contradictions. In its rawest essence it rights wrongs. In the big picture it sets the tone for the eradication of crime, letting evildoers know that their actions must be met with punishment fitting the crime. Tookie Williams’s execution was justified and the landscape of American society is a better place for it.
