I don't figure that his debt to society has been quite repaid.

He appears to have tried to redeem himself. It sure takes them a long time to find that chair.

Maybe that same group of Euroweenies will break him out of prison, too.

"He dedicated his life to doing whatever he could, from getting the needle shoved up a vein. SEE YA! Have a nice trip, scumbag.

Couldn't his termination date be moved to Nov 13? The less of him [and the likes of him], the better for the rest of us.

If he were truly a reformed person, wouldn't he accept that his sentence is a final example of how being a gang-banger is a dead end?

The world will never know what additional good the people he murdered could have achieved if their lives hadn't been so casually ended by this "former" thug. Bye-bye Tookie.

"His appeals were exhausted in early October after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case. However, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals suggested in a 2002 decision that Williams was a good candidate for clemency."

To the 9th Circus: Surely you jest!

Hasn't done much ... we've got MS-13 activity in rural Virginia.

Fry him.

Maybe that will 'send a message' to gang-bangers and wannabes.

"We seek clemency for the man Stanley Williams has become, for the good work he has done, and for the good work he will continue to do,"

OK, fine, but the man that Stanley Williams WAS still has to accept the punishment for the heinous crimes that he did.

The German group that were "persons of interest" in the Texas case were cleared of involvement.

Lawyers also sent a copy of the television movie about Williams' life, "Redemption: The Stan 'Tookie' Williams Story,"

Nothing like a TV "documentary" to exonerate your client! (Pfft)

I don't see how this idiot could possibly
have a case. Who in their right mind actually
SITS on a public toilet WITHOUT some kind of
paper protection between his arse and the seat?
Didn't this nut ever have Health class in school?

to the succeeding blurb.

Sorry.

This is one major murdering scumbag. He personally murdered four people, and his gang is reponsible for thousands of murders. He has helped destroy a large part of a community.

CRIPS INFO. These scumbags have dolls and a model of the week. Tookie should have been fried a very long time ago. You don't do a little writing and urge people not to be violent and think that gets you off the hook. Fry, you bastard.
