And he's going to get what's coming to him.
Tookie's gonna outlive us all.
He may be right with his Maker..but the state gave him a well deserved death penalty..The people have spoken.
Tookie has executed his victims..His victims were not afforded the same chance for transformation.
Let them all share the same IV..
Bullshit.
Like this "poor black man" had no choice? Give me a break. And he is responsible for the deaths of possibly thousands of others who joined his violent mindset, and all of their victims, as well.
Why don't these numb skulls spend their valuable time lauding the accomplishments of people who haven't murdered others? Is that too much to ask?
It's funny how Mike Farrell says he made "an extraordinary transformation" when he probally didn't even know Tookie back when he committed this heinous crime.
How about a stars rally for the victims? Is that too much to ask?
Having said that, I am against capital punishment in general, there are a few other freepers like me.
Great. Hes been using up our tax dollars rotting away in prison for 24 years. He should have been put to death years ago.
???
"ex"- gangster
"reformed"
???
I guess if "ex" gangster means someone who hasn't had the chance to be one while incarcerated, then Tookie qualifies.
As to reformed . . . based on what evidence? That the libs love him??
Id be willing to accept Tookie walking as long as all the stars who spoke up for him will get the needle instead. Sounds fair to me.
Yet again, not one word about the victims or their families. This guy was convicted for crying out loud.
The Hollywood left just never gets it... I am sure some are doing this in order to win over some fan support? Perhaps they should talk to the victims family and see how they fell about this guy??
2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten says that Tookie should take a dirt nap, and the sooner the better.
Have these defenders of a murderer
seen the crime scene photos ! ?
I wonder if George Bush made an "an extraordinary transformation" if Mike (I hate everything American) Farrell would support him?
Line em up and knock em down. Tookie is toast and those that try to aid his bid to get out of what a jury sentenced him to. My prediction is that Ahhhhhnold will say he has weighed the merits of what Tookie has done while in prison in comparison to the lives he took and how.why he took them. He will say that even though SOME of the things he has done while awaiting his sentence are positive they do not outweigh the crimes he has committed.
These folks that stump for Tookie are ignoring four dead souls and the families that love them. They are ignoring what Tookie did to those folks directly and they are ignoring what his actions lead to indirectly (that being the growth of terrorist gangs). Ahhhhhnold will make the proper choice and refuse clemency. Those that oppose this decision do not respect the rule of law or the fact that people hold personal responsibility for the choices they make. Tookie did what he did and it is long past time that he pay the ultimate price.
You know, I find it odd how people will try to grant folks like Tookie exactly what it is they "TOOK".....that being someone'e life. How does one reconcile rewarding someone that stole something with the very thing they took? How exactly do they find 'punishment' in doing such a thing?
Some think that if they put enough years between the crime and the actual sentence, that people will settle in their desire for justice. That they will indeed somehow forget what the crike was or how brutal it was. All this in the push of their own anti death penalty agenda.
Tookie is done. December 13th will see justice done for familes that have been waiting many many years for it to be done.
