Who knows what Tookies nimrod followers will do. They might riot, and they might just wait a while. There have been reports that statements have been made that there will be violence if he is executed.

Even the L.A. Times had an article last week about the Nobel Prize and how just about anyone can get nominated.

I know very little about the process. Someone said that Arnold didn't have to make an announcement and just run down the clock. If there is no clemency, why make a statement?

I also know very little about the process. Your question is a good one, BunnySlippers. I hadn't thought about that.

Arnie is twisting the knife?

Well since he gave his victims little chance, and no time to prepare, lets hope that is what Schwarzenegger is doing.

Unless he runs as a Democrat, I think Arnolds political career is already pretty much over. Even if he poked the needle in Tookie himself, I don't think he'll ever win re-election. Massive forces working against him aren't going to let it end up like the recall election.IMO

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA - KFI's Bill Handel has S. California congressman nominate him for Nobel Peace Prize
KFI ^ | 12-1-05 | DFU

(You must register to hear this, but it only takes a few minutes).
http://kfi640.com/podcastlogin.html
LISTEN TO THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS MORNING'S SHOW


Note: on a personal note, this guy banned me from calling his show several years ago after I called Bill Clinton a rapist on his show. Hey, that's okay. This stunt is pretty cool, so I'll give him credit for it.





In an effort to mock the Nobel Peace Prize nominations, William Wulf Handel, morning host on KFI 640 in Los Angeles, convinced a S. California congressman to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Price. The congressman did it with the promise that his name would never be revealed. He was apparently embarrassed, but went along with the prank.


Handel read the letter on the air (the link above) and just appeared on the John and Ken show to discuss it.


Handel is pulling the stunt because of the Nobel Peace Prize nominations of murdering scum Stanley "Tookie" Williams, set for letal injection at San Quentin on Dec. 13. Tookie brutally murdered four people and is still alive well over two decades later.


Williams is the darling of the leftist Hollywood crowd, including Mike Farrell and Snoop Dogg. They don't want him to die. He co-authored a few children's books and has supposedly spoken out about gang violence. The psychopath has actually convinced some fools that he has redeemed himself. That redemption, of course, does not include admitting what he did or turning in other murderers.

I really doubt that he is, but we can hope.

I think you are right. Arnold had a chance to be Reaganesque and he blew it.

I agree. C'est fini. It could be, though, that all Arnie is concerned about now is avoiding cold nights at home.

(Of course, if that is his concern, he should not have married an anorexic in the first place, especially not a leftie one, although that is almost the only kind).

By golly, I believe I will nominate myself for one. I'm not worried about having an impressive Resume anymore, but mention of a Nobel nomination would spice up one's obituary, wouldn't it?

No-doubt a frivolus last-ditch effort. It will be laughed out of court.

You went to far with the "dot com" part.

After watching the Green Mile I decided that I'd rather have people like Tookie ride Ole Sparky! Lethal injection is too good for these guys. I won't soak the sponge either.

I saw an interesting proposal from Ted Hayes on Tookie. I got it from Michael Bowen's website http://www.mdcbowen.org/cobb/

I PROPOSE that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, rather than unequivocally deciding to save Stanley Tookie Williams or send the convicted murderer to his death next week, instead conditionally postpone his execution.

The governor should then immediately convene a summit, including not only clergy, grass-roots leaders and elected representatives such as Maxine Waters and Diane Watson, but also current and former Bloods and Crips. The deal: He will spare Williams' life, but only as long as these leaders can keep young black men from killing each other.

In other words, for every 30 days of peace, Tookie receives a stay of execution. Should there be any gang-related killings in L.A., Tookie's fate will be sealed — not by the governor but by the young men who have been clamoring that Williams be spared and the leaders who say they are determined to save black lives. (And those leaders should be the ones to set the murder-acceptability level — at zero tolerance or massacre levels; let it be up to them.)

This is an opportunity to (1) empower young blacks to play a role in saving one of their own; (2) educate them on the role of nonviolent solutions to societal problems; (3) let African American leaders step up and do what they're always talking about — saving children and healing the brokenness in our community.

Besides murdering people Tookie writes too. Here is a little something he wrote:

Redemption : From Original Gangster to Nobel Prize Nominee - The Extraordinary Life Story of Stanley Tookie Williams (Paperback)
by Stanley Williams

By the way according to my information he was nominated for the Noble Prize for Literature (yup for real) several times by a professor of "I don't know what kind of" philosophy at Notre Dame University. Anyone know who it is?

Well, that's a threat, isn't it?

Actually, it was a facetious statement.

I don't care if there never is another gang killing. Tookie must die for what he did.

He doesn't need an emergency stay, .. just press his collars instead,...they'll last the next 3 days.

Oh, I'm not arguing that he shouldn't. In fact, I believe he should. I think the proposal is interesting from the point of view that were he granted the stay, it's likely that not 24 hours would go by before there was a killing.
