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!!!
I live in "Crips Central"----the Greater LA area. The Crips are evil, murderous savages. I'm for executing as many as possible.
The White House did fine. Tookie has worked to redeem himself and he has repaid some of his crime with good works and it is right to recognize that, especially by a Christian president.
Perhaps he has exchanged Hell for a passage in Putgatory. His punishment for this world's sins should go on. His reward, whatever that may be, will come in the next world. Letting Tookie off now would be setting up a new system whereby murderers and rapists will have a lawyer guided course in Re-Demption and the criminal justice system will be SNAFU big time as far as our most heinous crimes are concerned.
Reference your post # 26:
I wonder how many letters were sent to the families of the innocent people he murdered.
Probably all they wanted was to be able to earn a living and live their lives.
My sympathy is with them, they demonstrate the outstanding character of America, not some murdering convict.
I don't care what the President says.
