Oh no, here we go again. Is that "Football" guy out of jail yet? He's sizing up cinder blocks already.

[ClearCase_guy]

This article doesn't seem to indicate WHO might riot. It's writen in a completely passive tone -- "rioting may take place".

I wonder why they aren't more clear about who is itching to burn things down.

[gooleyman]

I simply do not believe jail-house conversions. I've seen too many say the right words while in jail and continue their old ways once they hit the streets again. This is not hearsay. I know them personally. I just don't believe it. Time to pay for his crimes.

[Pukin Dog]

I am actually hoping for a nice, safe riot where nobody gets hurt, but liberals do enough to put themselves on display for a nationwide TV audience.

All in the name of more GOP voters.

[peyton randolph]

Extortion.

Arnold - we won't riot if you grant clemency.

Pathetic.

[ErnBatavia]

Winter is not riot season in Los Angeles...it's a warm weather activity.

[mtbopfuyn]

Let 'em riot. Quick way to round up criminals and gang members all in one swoop.

[sangoo]

I wonder why they aren't more clear about who is itching to burn things down.

They're just hopeing that ANYONE will start rioting.

[roses of sharon]

This is a threat.

Its aimed at the Gov, "let Tookie go, or we will riot".

[YOUGOTIT]

"Williams' supporters, from political leaders to the rapper Snoop Dogg, say Williams has turned his life around and become a positive influence in fighting gang violence through his writing"

And the people he killed? Have they had love, breath, saw their children, tasted great food? NO so why should this scum bag live?

[MEG33]

I hate for a city to be held hostage by a bunch of gangbangers lookin' for an excuse..and to watch liberal bleeding heart celebrities stand ready to "understand" and look for "root causes" of the mayhem.

[EagleUSA]

Time to pay for his crimes.

Yes. Especially in THIS STATE! (Calfornia). For too long, death row and the death sentence has been a party joke, a hotel for the worst CONVICTED AND SENTENCED killers and other criminals.

I wonder if we can send him a bill for the 26 ridiculous years of incarceration? The tax payers are due.

[moose2004]

I say inject him and let justice be served. Hey Mike Farrell, have a nice day!

[MEG33]

BINGO!

[digger48]

Extortion.

Arnold - we won't riot if you grant clemency.

Pathetic.

Borders on Terrorist tactics, doesn't it?

[prion]

If you won't admit the crime -- let alone expressed remorse for it -- you cannot possibly have turned your life around.

[ArmstedFragg]

Community leaders Friday called for peace in the city

R..i..g..h..t.

And Brer Rabbit was standing right behind them.

[oust the louse]

I think Arnold is crapping his drawers on this one. I hope he does the right thing and lets this cold blooded killer get his due on Weds. It's been a long time coming...

by the way, did anyone see Jammie Foxx on the news this week? What an idiot. All the good going on in L.A and all of the potential heroes he can thrust himself behind and he picks this loser....birds of a feather flock together!

[ChrisFelice1]

The media is hoping to re-live the Rodney King incident/riots. They are encouraging it, that's why they constantly put this stuff out there...plant the seed and watch it grow.
