Die Tookie, Die!

Here is a link to some pictures of the rally. I don't have time to post them to this thread.

Hopefully this time next week we will all be on the 'Tookie executed' thread!

"Actor Mike Farrell and Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who also spoke at the rally, called for a moratorium on the death penalty in California until the Legislature can assess its fairness."

He was convicted for killing four people and is the founder of a criminal enterprise. Death is too kind for him.

Hook him up and start the IV.

"He is our secret weapon to help young African-Americans avoid gangs," Gordon said. "We want to save his life so he can save the lives of others."

What a crock..This scum bag should be dead right now..

[Mears]

Just curious,have the relatives of the folks that Tookie killed been speaking out?

[ncountylee]

3 of this pig's victims were people of color.

tick,tick,tick.

I wonder if his victims begged for their lives? Did he show any mercy. No? Pull the lever.

"He is our secret weapon to help young African-Americans avoid gangs," Gordon said. "We want to save his life so he can save the lives of others."

A vote for clemency is a vote for hope, Gordon said.

"As I looked into Stanley's eyes I think I spoke to an honest man," Gordon said.

I am not a racist and I don't want to be one. However, based on these statements I have to say, untill the 60's generation dies off and their childrent die off, African-Americans have no hope.

"We're not soft on crime, this is a war on crime," Gordon said.

Yes, but like the rest of the liberals in this country they've planned a "cut and run" strategy in this war as well.

[IronJack]

Stanley "Tookie" Williams can become "a powerful force for change,"

He already HAS been a "powerful force for change." He changed four people from alive to dead, affecting not only their lives but the lives of everyone they loved and who loved them. He can continue to be a force for that same kind of horrible "change" from his rat cage on Death Row. Or we can carry out the will of the people, duly reviewed, and put this piece of trash in the ground.

"He is our secret weapon to help young African-Americans avoid gangs," Gordon said. "We want to save his life so he can save the lives of others."

Too late. He was convicted on what he DID. It's hard to grant clemency on the basis of what he MIGHT do. And if he's a "secret weapon," you're unarmed.

A vote for clemency is a vote for hope, Gordon said.

And a vote to execute him is a vote for justice.

Charlie! You've been doing all wrong!

Write a couple of children books named Helter Skelter and P.I.G., then have the KKK and Aryan Brothers protest for your pardon!

[Kenton]

However, in a rally with local and state NAACP chapter members on the south lawn of City Hall, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People President Bruce Gordon said he was convinced after a recent meeting with Williams at San Quentin Prison that executing him would be a mistake.

Yeah, the neo-nazis felt the same way about Timmy McVeigh.

Tookie's had plenty of time since he committed the murders to put an end to black gang crime. I haven't heard any testimonials from reformed gangbangers about how Tookie inspired them to go straight. But he IS a cold-blooded cop-killer who has lived far longer than he should.

[gridlock]

I am not a fan of the death penalty, but I might make an exception in this case...

[Spok]

"called for a moratorium on the death penalty in California until the Legislature can assess its fairness."

Did someone actually say this with a straight face?

[SpaceBar]

The crips were founded before the phrase "terrorist organizations" was part of the common lexicon. However that's exactly what they are. A murderous, racist hate group financed primarily by the trafficking of narcotics. I vote Tookie off the island.

[Buffalo Bob]

convicted and sentenced to death in 1981 for the deaths of four people in two separate Southland robberies

Christ, NBC get it right! He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1981 for the murder of four people...

[TexasCajun]

I wonder if Captain B.J. Hunnicut and Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl would be willing to personally reimburse the state for the remainder of Tookie's life?

[krewjay]

"This is a not a free-Tookie rally, it's a rally to save his life,"

If he is not guilty, why isn't it a free Tookie rally?

[skip_intro]

Alice Huffman, the NAACP's statewide president, said the group is not asking for Williams' release from prison.

Not yet, anyway.

They will.
