For the record -- Fly the injection express Tookie!!!!!
Announcement? Arnold making it another ballot initiative? *snicker*
..be real still, Mr. Jingles, da Governor gonna speak.
Racism at its worst. If Tookie was white, this would be an open and shut case. He would be fr1ed.
I think the sentence should be carried out. If Williams has truly repented and made what atonement he can from prison, fine--if God chooses to allow him into Heaven, he can continue his atonement there.
He has, however, forfeited his right to continue his earthly life, no matter how sorry he may be now about having murdered four people.
Hang 'em High ~ Bump!
I hope I'm wrong but I think Arnold will cave.
Well, he's not going to go on "shortly" and announce he's not going to grant clemency. That's an option almost any governor would want to keep open to the last minute. Tookie's gonna skate.
100 replies and still no announcement? Shall we start a thread for the end of the world?
if he decides the man is goin to the needle, anyone want to take any bets on how long it will take the first riot to occur?? after all, the media has already set the stage..
I would imagine the Crips and the Bloods will riot either way Arnold goes.
I am hoping he goes against it. let Tookie fry...I mena if he's making an announcement it must be bad... bad for Tookie
If they execute him, get ready for the onslaught of tributes, t-shirts, posters etc. of revisionism.
I was under the impression that SchwarzenKennedy wasn't going to be making some big splash announcement.
Arnie will SO cave.
I read somewhere that Saddam is working on some children's books.....
Should have known: Jesse Jackson is on the way and is trying to get in to see Williams.
Exetook him.
I hope that Arnold makes that phone call to the death chamber at the last minute......and tells Tookie that he just saved himself alot of money on his car insurance by switching to......
Based on his role in the Crips, and in the ongoing gang violence all these years since... how many deaths do you suppose he has been INdirectly responsible for? Not even counting the gang member vs gang member murders which are just messy and cost the taxpayers? I would speculate it to be a number much higher than our losses in Iraq....and he has had all the opportunities available under the legal system. I am generally neutral on capital punishment, but in this case...... Just hoping the riots don't cause much damage or bloodshed.
Simple enough decision for me, just let me know What Would The DU Do, and sign me on for the opposite.
