Gov. Shwarzeneggar expected to make announcement on Tookie Williams Execution Clemency shortly according to Fox News.
I read somewhere that Saddam is working on some children's books.....
Do my tax dollars pay for his so called "rotting in prison"....where do the profits go for his books ? Will he be honored by oscar winner Jamie Foxx? Will the Nobel Peace prize be bestowed upon him? Just a few questions as to his punishment of time served....
I don't think anyone is celebrating. I think you are just picking up on the anticipation of another travesty of justice being served up from our Californian countrymen.
thank you.....unless he's changed his mind....I heard earlier on Fox that Arnold will not be doing this publicly himself. If he does, imo, it will be to grant clemency. I can't imagine him waiting until the 'last moment' to go on air himself and say no. jmo
LOL typical Fox News..breathlessly announce that the statement is coming soon, then you wait forever.
"If you have kids, I feel badly for them. Their dad would not kill someone breaking in their home to protect them? Do they know that? If they did, I doubt that they would feel very secure at night."
what is with the marchers crossing the golden gate bridge on their way to san quentin?
John Adams, defeated by Thomas Jefferson.
I carry a glock myself. I can see the need to use force, even deadly force in self defense and war. But he is in a cage, unarmed. Let hime rot in it, only to leave to chop cotton, or some other similar hard labor. And that until his dying day.
Should have known: Jesse Jackson is on the way and is trying to get in to see Williams.
News guy on FOX TV said Jesse Jackson showed up and is trying to see Tookieboy. Imagine that?
We're up to 150 now... has there been an announcement as to when the announcement will be made?
"Society has a responsibility to punish those who murder. that punishment, in my opinion, should be a lifetime of imprisonment, so that they might consider the error of their ways."
Who is to say that taking a life is immoral? Isn't it just survival of the fittest? Laws are just manmade rules to control society without God it seems to me. Why should I be punished for doing what comes naturally? I find it hard to believe in right and wrong without some reference point.
Room on the gurney for both of them.
Funny, he maintains his innocence; but the MSM pushes his "rehabilitation"; which is it? Wouldn't a contrite man who confesses his wrongs be a better candidate? Sounds as if he's learned little...
Tookie is toast.
Yup... And get ready for him to be posthumously awarded the Nobel Prize too, if Arnold doesn't cave. Anything to embarrass Uncle Sam.
By the way, the news about Jesse Jackson trying to get in on the action came via Fox News.
There's been about 400,000 murders in the U.S. since the death penalty was reaffirmed a quarter century ago. Since then we've executed only 1,000 murderers. By what calculation do you think that the death penalty is somehow overused?
Bring back the prison work farms. It worked well for TX for many years. It was a harsh punishment and actually made a small profit for the state.
