Reply #150: "Taught himself to read"??? He was NOT illeterate.

He wrote, in his very own hand, note planning mass murder (Blow up a buss with all the people on it.) and escape. How did he write those notes if he did not know how to read?

You Tookie Cookies get wilder all the time in your claims about this guy.

I substitute teach. Tuesday I was called in to the high school, so I asked each class if they knew who Tookie was. When no one knew I even gave hints. During the day, of 100 students, on ONE knew who he was. And she was one of those involved A+ kids that stays up on current events. However, once I explained that he was the founder of the Crips, there were some who claimed a Crips connection. Whether they were telling the truth or not, I do not know.

I have to go to high school again today. I will ask todays classes the same question. Most of the kids (But not all) will be different kids. I will post the results this afternoon.

Got to get ready for school now.
