Yes, I think you are quite correct and the timing of the announcement is being carefully considered. I believe Tookie is scheduled to be put to death just a few minutes after midnight (Monday night). Do you think the Governor will wait until early tomorrow morning to announce his decision?

And I feel sorry for the families and survivors of his victims, to now watch as Tookie is elevated to martyr like status.

Agreed. Only a moral idiot would consider mass-murderer Williams a "martyr".

It's not the electric chair. We use lethal injection. It is THE JOURNEY ON THE GURNEY.

I realize that (see my earlier post). But from the point of view of being "deserving," she was probably much more deserving, but you sure didn't see the left out there weeping over her and screaming for her release. In fact, they were all waiting for Bush to pardon her so they could jump on him for favoring Christians or some such thing.

Look, the gangs have said if Stanley Williams is granted clemency, they won't riot or kill people. But if he is not granted clemency, they will riot and kill people.

No decision from the Governor until tomorrow. Just reported.

He has done good with the last few years.

So he wrote a couple of books; I don't believe they've sold very much.

He hasn't helped the police find out ANYTHING about the gangs -- and his "good work" certainly hasn't reduced the gang population by even one person; if anything, there are more gang members than before him came along.

Don't buy the Mike Farrell/Lou Grant propaganda.

I don't feel that you can dismiss the good this man has done either.

I think you have your pronouns confused. You probably meant to say "I don't feel that ~I~ can dismiss..."

But as to ~me~, my friend, I ~can~ dismiss it.

Dismissed.

Are you really expecting trouble?

Kind of one of those 'here, sign this' moments, I guess

From the looks of it Tookie will be in tears by Tuesday if Arnold doesn't muck it up.

GWB has to be the poorest judge of character I have ever seen.

Try to get a grip; I highly doubt George W. Bush had anything at all to do with that; some paper pusher (and it could even be a LIBERAL who handles this stuff from past years) handled this debacle.

I believe at least one of the books was ghost-written. Tookie has been a favorite liberal cause of some years now.

Thanks for the update. Any conjecture on why the extended delay?

Well, that's a threat, isn't it? I hope the officers are armed to the gills.
