Fry him.
All of Hollyweird would love to see Tookie granted clemency.
He murdered four people. He is the weakest link.
Goodbye.
A compromise is in order. Mr. Williams should be allowed to take his own life.
The Nobel Prize ... and the nominees are ...
Q: Has X [name of person] been nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize?
A: Information about the nominations, investigations, and opinions concerning the award is kept secret for fifty years.
Q: Can I nominate someone for the Nobel Prize?
A: No, you cannot if you're not invited. Qualifications to nominate candidates vary somewhat among the different Nobel Prizes. To find out who has the right to submit proposals for an award, see information for each prize category:
| Physics | Chemistry | Medicine | Literature | Peace | Economics |
Some folks must of gotten "pretend" life sentences.
Schwarzenegger must be pretending that no one was really murdered.
I guess the only way to make liberals AND conservatives happy is if we allow Tookie to die by euphoric starvation.
He has lived 26 years after the murders. That's more than enough. If he has truly repented, he should be prepared to pay the price without complaining.
There is, of course, a heavily-biased selection process to award the Nobel Prizes. But there is no barrier whatsoever to the nomination of anyone for any such prize. But you would never know that from the press coverage.

No - you don't want him to die quickly/mercifully/etc. Hang him up by his joints in the sun and let him twitch for a few weeks first. Plus, all the salt water he can drink.
Would we be having this discussion if he were white?
Want to see son LA riots if he gets the juice?
Sorry to be cynical, just being realistic. They've build this murderer into another one of their idols.
"The last California governor to grant clemency to a death row inmate was Ronald Reagan, in 1967, based on evidence that convicted killer Calvin Thomas had a history of brain damage."
I totally disagree with ANY excuse for murdering someone. If you have brain damage, have been abused as a child, were teased in school, or have eaten only white bread your entire life - it matters not. What matters is: What exactly did you do? And then the next question is: What exactly are the consequences of that act?
Leave the person and all the excuses and human pity emotion out of justice. It has not place in law.
His "BOOK" was ghost-written by some mush for brains idiot-stick grandmother type. Imagine, you're writing a book and who would be best to give credit to?
She was on John and Ken the other afternoon. She had claimed that 150,000 potential gang members had been influenced by Tookie's book not to join.
The hosts asked how she knew this. She referred to over a hundred thousand emails. When that number became mushy itself, she got flustered, attacked the hosts who asked to see them and hung up.
These anti-death penalty subversives will stoop to anything to get vicious merciless killer's sentences reduced. If he would have been sentenced to life like these jackasses claim they want killers to be, she'd be working right now to get him released because of "his" good works.
Sympathy for violent killers is all I see here. Why do these jackasses always forget about the victims? If they weren't subversives, they'd have enough sympathy for all sides in this mess.
I call them subversives, because they are doing their damnedest to clog, breakdown and utterly destroy our system of justice.
If human-animals have to commit violent crimes, I've got a great group that they ought to get to know before they enter their careers. I seem to see a lot of volunteers.
After crimes of Tookies magnitude, it doesn't matter how sweet he has been lately in the joint.
The law calls for punishment for what you did, not reward for being a good convict.
if it were a white mom who drowned her 5 children one by one while the others waited in horror...the answer is yes
I would if I could, but the Nobel website has nixed that idea.
Q: Can I nominate someone for the Nobel Prize?
A: No, you cannot if you're not invited. Qualifications to nominate candidates vary somewhat among the different Nobel Prizes. To find out who has the right to submit proposals for an award, see information for each prize category:

There is, of course, a heavily-biased selection process to award the Nobel Prizes.
That's for sure.
Screw compromise, he didn't offer any to his victims. Kill him.
