"There is a whole lot of liberal in him."

He's been in a lot of liberal, too.

I'll probably get hammered for it but it wouldn't bother me if his sentenced was changed to life without parole.

Wouldn't bother me, either, as long as there's no possibility he'll ever walk the streets again. Let him live out his days in prison, and try to do something constructive with the rest of his life.

Switch????

Gimme immunity, and 2 minutes with him and a loaded gun - Tookie will cease to be a concern for anyone.

Governor dreading decision on life or death [Tookie Williams]


----Arnold, he is a convicted murderer. If he had killed Maria , your wife or one of your children, would there be any decision to make? He killed SOMEBODYS' family members, Arnold. Execute him.

With the world watching, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger must decide in the next few weeks whether Williams will live or die.

>>>>>>>>>>.
The writer says the world is watching. I've heard of this guy because it's been a topic of discussion on talk radio, I didn't realize the whole world is aware of this case. Sheesh, what an exaggeration, but then, that's the media for you.

"and 2 minutes with him and a loaded gun -"

Heck, let me have my escrima sticks, 1 minute and a set of jumpercables with an AC outlet nearby.

(Tooks "big pipes" don't match up well with escrima)

I think he'll say that Tookies efforts after being on death row are worth the commutation, as an example to others.

He is being executed for the crimes he committed. How do his acts after being incarcerated correct the original crimes? They don't. Those people are still dead.

I don't care if a murderer becomes the world's greatest living saint and finds a cure for cancer and manages to eradicate homosexuality while in prison, that murderer still deserves to die.

In case you missed my earlier post where I stated I think Tookie should finally meet Justice.

Ahnolds advisors, seeing his failures at the polls, will want to immediately begin to re-position him to appeal to more liberals at the next election. This is just one of those steps. Maybe I'm just being cynical.

Prime the needle, load the gun, rev up the generator, tie the rope, get your stones, and eliminate him like so much excrament. Shoulda been done a long time ago. Damn gangs. I suppose though that it is my fault b/c I would not give enough of my money to them so they could be happy.

Lockyer, the CA. AG, and the Chief of Police of LA and the Sheriff of LA Co. have said this guy should die. I do think Arnold will turn the lights out on this scum bag.

Its an easy call with a murderer - see him off to his Maker.

Somehow, I don't think Ahhhnold is losing ANY sleep over this piece of human waste.

The liberals aren't going to support Arnold anyway....

Time to round up a big rusty needle full of poison and pop it into Tookie, and throw his remains in the Pacific.

Ah yes, the bleeding heart wing of FR has arrived.

Yeah, let's let Tookie live out his days in prison. Three hots and a cot, cable TV, liberal media/Hollywood adoration, etc. while his victim's relatives suffer some more.

Arnold will probably not be re-elected; but if he is, given that conservatives bailed on his ballot initiatives - he might commute this sentence to gain support from the african american community.

If so, then Arnold's a fool. The libs will never support him no matter what.

If he does this then we might as well outlaw capital punishment. Funny, but I don't remember the Left getting hysterical when Governor XXXlinton approved the execution of Ricky Ray Rector.

Of course not. But then again, Ricky's date with Justice sadly fell in the same week that the Gennifer Flowers news hit the stands. He and his advisors flew back to town to review his case, but from what was later revealed, they spent the week deciding how to handle the Flowers story, and putting together the small group of people who would handle the Bimbo Eruptions for the rest of his political career.

(let me apoligize for the tone of my response. My questions were for Ahnold more than for you. Upon second reading it comes across as somehwat harsh. Sorry about that.)

Ah yes, the bleeding heart wing of FR has arrived.

Comes from working with prisoners and having a not exactly all-American youth yourself. No matter how hard-nosed you start you get a little mushy after a while. Besides, it all sounded like gang-land stuff to me. If it was child rape-murder I don't think I'd have commented.
