Schwarzenegger Rejects Actors' Pleas to Spare Hatchet Murderer

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has rejected pleas from Hollywood actors to spare the life of a man who chopped up four people with a hatchet.

Such Tinseltown "experts" as Sean Penn, Janeane Garofalo, Danny Glover, Mike Farrell, Richard Dreyfuss, Denzel Washington and Anjelica Huston, some of whom have actually graduated from high school, want murderer Kevin Cooper to be freed or to continue getting taxpayer-supplied room and board, as he has for the past 19 years. Oh, and Jesse Jackson, Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis and International Socialist Organization also want to spare him.

Instead Cooper is scheduled to die for his vicious crimes early Tuesday at San Quentin.

On Sunday even the notorious 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the same bunch that claims the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, rejected an appeal.

Courts have noted there is overwhelming evidence of Cooper's guilt. Even DNA found at the scene implicates him.

In the early 1980s Cooper, a burglar who had escaped from prison, repeatedly used a hatchet and buck knife on Douglas and Peggy Ryen of San Bernardino County, their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica, and Christopher Hughes, her 11-year-old friend. He slit the throat of the Ryens' 8-year-old son, Joshua, but the boy survived the nighttime attack.

"Josh wakes up from the attack in the deathly still bedroom, where the stench of blood was nauseating," his lawyer, Milt Silverman, told the Los Angeles Times.

"He put all four fingers in his neck to stop his bleeding while he was staring closely at his mother - dead, and covered in blood. Josh laid there 11 hours."

I wonder how these 'experts' would react, if he were released, but sentenced to live near them.

[Paleo Conservative]

If that's who's supporting this scum, he definitely should be terminated.

Sean Penn has already played this guy...

"DEAD MAN WALKING!!"

Anyone care to guess how these limousine liberal losers would feel if Cooper was freed and then came to their neighborhood to thank them for giving him so much support?

some of whom have actually graduated from high school

It's hard to take seriously a news source that uses ad hominems like that.

The 11th Circuit Court of appeals has just issued a stay of execution.

That would change things, wouldn't it?

Another downside to America's love affair with 'The cult of the personality'

As he is on his way to the Chair these people need to be asked only 1 question...

Release him, but stipulate that he be handcuffed to Garafolo, Penn, and Farrell, all of whom would have to share the rest of their lives with him.

...actually, they're reporting fact. there was a thread (or several) a few months ago called something like "Who is Smarter?". i saved a copy that i'd be glad to freepmail you if you like. it listed which of these celebrities (who are experts on foreign policy, dontcha know!) graduated high school, did not graduate, and/or went on to SOME college. it also listed the education background of some of the more prominent (current)administration officials...

What a list of the worst Hollywood has to offer. My favorite 2 are missing, that black wench commedian and that mork commedian bonehead.
