Your comments are fine in the abstract. Problems arise when you try to apply them to a worst case example. Just won't work.
After you learn far more about Tookie than you know now, which seems to be nothing, come on back here with any further bleeding heart sanctimonious do-goodisms.
We'll be waiting.
You are correct. I have not done homework on "Tookie."
I simply stated that IF he has reformed, clemency of the death penalty may be in order. But if not, let the ruling stand.
If true that he has not confessed, planned armed escapes from prison, etc., they he should get the chair.
There was not any idnulgement in weepy eyed hand-wringing on my part. I only read the headline, skimmed the article, posted my first thoughts and went to bed and forgot about it until this morning when I awoke to several angry responses. lol
