Anyway, what does killing him accomplish? He is a murderer, but from prison he has been writing childrens books and urging kids not to join gangs or get involved in gang violence. Dead, he can do nothing, alive, whether he means it or not, he can help people. He cant hurt anyone else...

Absolutely incorrect. It is actually believed he was running the Crips and ordering killings, even from death row. How? Coded messages in his mail. These a-holes have devised elaborate codes into even the most innocuous looking letters to give orders and exchange information.

I am actually not a proponent of the death penalty because I don't like giving the state the power to kill its citizens (I would object less to giving the victims' family member a gun and letting them carry out justice themselves). However, it is awfully hard to shed a tear for this jerk-off.
