Insert Your Own Ironic Statement Here

Note the harangues against Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Tuesday funeral of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, especially the parts about how Williams had "promoted an anti-gang message".

Then note the on-site activities:

Several dozen gang members wearing blue attire associated with Crips gangs watched the funeral in the parking lot. One who identified himself as "Killowatt the Third," age 33, estimated there were 20 to 30 Crips-affiliated gangs there to honor Williams.

"That's my role model, man. That's the CEO of the Crips," he said.


Or maybe the before-and-after activities.....

Under heavy police presence, mourners including gang members flashing hand signs waited in line to enter the 1,500-seat Bethel AME Church for a ceremony that stretched more than four hours.

After the service, many of those outside the church dropped to the ground after hearing what sounded like three gunshots about a block away, but there were no injuries and no arrests.


Methinks the message from inside was having a hard time making it outside.
