(Tookie) Williams' attorneys make clemency plea to governor

[Melas]

John and Ken of KFI in Los Angeles have driven Tookie supporters crazy with that great hour.

Just how of curiosity, how are you defining supporter? I mean would Ollie North be a Tookie supporter because he's against the death penalty?

[EagleUSA]

Europeans are have an automatic reflex when it comes to opposing the death penalty when America does it....
----
This is the bane of liberalism. Our laws are what count. This murderer was convicted and sentenced to death. No evidence has been produced that would counter that verdict. He should die, as he should have 26 years ago (disgusting onto itself)...what Europeans think better not enter into this AT ALL. It is AMERICAN LAW, AMERICAN COURTS and an AMERICAN DEATH PENALTY. Nothing else should enter into it.

Local activists who have marched, protested, and written a letter of complaint to the FCC.

Lyrics, please, DFU!

How about:

Tookie got run over by a gurney
Waiting vainly for the governor's reprieve.
You can't say there's no such thing as justice,
It's Tookie's turn to take a terminal leave.

for starters?

God forgives; so can people.

God only forgives if the guilty party repents. This guy hasn't done that yet. I do not forgive him and would gladly throw the switch or give the injection, or drop the cyanide capsules into the acid, whatever way they choose to do it.

Where have you been? I did that song two weeks ago, and the eBay auction for framed and signed lyrics is almost over.

TOOKIE GOT RUN OVER BY A GURNEY

It even has the link to go get the MIDI music.

[Recovering Hermit]

Unbelievable.

I wonder if that semi-retarded snoop and the rest of the "save tookie" crowd ever read this?

Probably not.

Thanks for the link.

Capital Punishment is Life Affirming.

Nuke Tookie!

Your presupposition of their literacy has me LOL....

[MaggieCarta]

I've been busy, old chap.

Whoa! You can sell parodies on eBay? Thanks!

[Recovering Hermit]

I wonder if that semi-retarded snoop and the rest of the "save tookie" crowd ever read this had somebody read this to them?

Fixed it!

[Joe 6-pack]

To listen to his advocates, tookie has, during his death row sojourn, evolved into some type of superhuman, lower level deity with proto-divine qualities, sort of a Christ-Ghandi-Siddhartha-Mr. Roger and Pee-Wee Herman all rolled into one.

Since tookie has assumed his seat on a higher plane, and his life is clearly far more valuable than the rest of us who have never written a children's book or founded a blood thirsty pack of street mongrels, I think the only logical course is for one of the "save tookie" crowd to volunteer to take the needle for tookie. I'd support that. The pure altruism of the gesture would be truly impressive. It would certainly be enough to keep me from ever joining a gang.

[Joe 6-pack]

...and then tookie could run for Secretary General of the UN.

[doug from upland]

The money will go to FR.

[doug from upland]

Hey, speak for yourself about not writing children's books. :)

[Joe 6-pack]

"Hey, speak for yourself about not writing children's books. :)

I did try to market a "Crips is fo' Kids" coloring book, but too many children ended up getting shot for showing the wrong colors.

[keat]

I doubt that mike farrell read it

Mike Farell, to sum up his rationale for not executing Williams: " I didn't see him kill anyone".

Read it here - WARNING - You may puke.

[boop]

OMG, I read this. WHY is this man even CONSIDERED for clemency? I am NOT a death penalty advocate, but this is sickening. This man should have never been born. The world would have been a better place.

[doug from upland]

A great read, huh? Most people don't have a clue.
