Condemned murderer Stanley Tookie Williams, an ex-gang leader who became an anti-gang crusader in prison, is a "cold-blooded killer'' who disavows "any responsibility for the brutal, destructive and murderous acts he committed'' and deserves to be executed Dec. 13, Los Angeles prosecutors said Thursday.
Williams and his defenders say he is not the man he was when he was arrested for four killings in the Los Angeles area in 1979, and they are hoping that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will commute his sentence to life without parole.
Williams has written nine books for children and youths since 1993, has taped anti-violence messages and has drafted a peace treaty that his attorney say has been used to settle gang wars. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize each year since 2000, initially by a member of the Swiss Parliament and more recently by a Bay Area philosophy professor. His attorneys say 30,000 people have signed an online clemency petition.
Prosecutors are unimpressed.

When Stanley “Tookie” Williams used his shotgun to blast half the face off one of the murder victims and shot all his murder victims to death during the robberies even though they did not put up any resistance at all, that is violence. When someone like Stanley “Tookie” Williams is convicted for murder and is put to death painlessly with lethal injection, that is justice. If a cop had caught him in the act of murdering those innocent victims and killed him with a bullet in the head to prevent him from continuing the murder or from escaping, that is also justice. Are you really so foolish that you can not tell the difference?

Hold still Mumia, this might sting a bit.
So long, asshat.
Tookie was a murderer, regarless of race, you race-baiting ignorant piece of genetic garbage.

You're an anal implant, too. Please don't share your expertise here.
Yes, cognizant of the fact that tookie is a murderer. I don't care what race anybody is, if they blow someones' face off and are a gang leader responsible for mass murder, they should fry. They should be burned to death with mildly boiling oil while acid is injected into their veins. Tookie got off light in the California court system. His real penalty before God will be much more harsh.
Wipe up after yourself and go home, slimeball maggott.
