Maybe he can take cop killer Mumia with him when he goes.
I am ambivalent about executing him, but I think it is the appropriate action. Life is sometimes messy, and the best path is seldom the easy one...
LOL
Black online buddy from Philly told me that if I wore my "Fry Mumia" t-shirt there, I could drive as fast as I wanted, and get off with no more than a warning. He agrees with the sentiment, by the way.

Bush Sends Commendation Letter to Gang Leader on Death Row
President Bush has sent a letter, accompanying an award, to the founder of the Crips gang who is on Death Row in California.
The letter praises death row inmate Stanley "Tookie" Williams for demonstrating "the outstanding character of America." ___________________________________________________________
I understand sometime after the letter and award was sent, the White House was trying to figure out who Tookie was, and what they should do now....
OHHHHH!!!
He founded the Crips.
This is not a debate. Therefore, he is the founder of a domestic terrorist organization.
I'm pretty sure he's guilty too. There's other evidence out there.
I'm not even sure there's that. He claims inadequate defense and prosecutorial misconduct, but never actual innocence that I can see.
Whole lotta good "redemption" did Carla Faye Tucker.
Self-edit: That should have been in quotes, being a snip directly from the website.
Oh and don't forget about David Westerfield too!!!
(sarcasm also off now)
1. If the Ninth Circus Court failed to overturn the conviction of a black man convicted by an all-white jury, it must be pretty solid. That's the most liberal court in the country.
2. "The present adversarial system of justice would have to be scrapped in favor of an inquisitorial system in which the common incentive for all parties involved would be to arrive at the truth and facts of the matter."
With yourself as Grand High Inquisitor, I suppose?
Will you please reread and think carefully about that statement?
Hey, it ain't perfect, but our system of justice is still the best in the world. As Ben Franklin said, "It is better that a hundred guilty men go free than that one innocent man be condemned." It is the adversarial system that ensures that the rights of the accused are protected.
When the defense attorney tries every dirty trick in the book to get their client off, goes after the credibility of the witnesses and the cops, questions the evidence, the testimony, everything- and the jury still convicts- that's when the system works.
This being said, we have to make sure defense counsel is competent, and that prosecutors follow the rules. When these do not occur, there is room for error.
Juice him.... Juice him good!
"While in San Quentin State Prison, Williams has been nominated five times for a Nobel Peace Prize and four times for the Nobel Prize for literature"
The Nobel prize has all the credibility of an Al Sharpton endorsement anymore.
Good one!
Just what do you expect a killers lifestyle in prison to be? No prisoner should have TV at my expense. This guy is a killer and should have been dead long ago. The fact that he is still alive means he is living better than he deserves. Death to all murderers, the sooner the better.
If you're gonna hang the guy hang him for something you can prove. Four jailbirds testifying to something doesn't prove anything other than that some police official got four jailbirds to say something.
