I heard he chose execution by electrocution... a strange choice, but works for me !! Fry him - he did the crime, he pays the price....will be fun to watch all the liberals protesting justice tonight.
Anyone know the last time someone was executed in California? Certainly can't beat Texas !!
---Snoop,Mike,Jesse,Louis,Russell,Bianca etc. your names aren't worth as much as you thought they were. No one cared.
He has already lived 24 years too many.
Jerry Brown was governor of California from 1974-1982.
When Brown took office in 1974 the death penalty was just being given again - due to the long appeals process no one was executed in California until 1991.
Funny thing. Hannity asked him if he was, and he said he was pro-life, but then he talked about a nun getting raped and said he was pro-choice. Those quazy libs. Sean gave him a funny look, though.
Actually, yes it does mean he is guilty. That's what "being found guilty" means in the part about reaching a "verdict".
That just makes you a sick and twisted freak. Disgusting.
"My main problem with the death penalty is basically we're letting the government decide who lives and who dies. This is the ultimate government interference."
Hi. I hear your the sentiment, but...I'm afraid not. First, in this country, one is convicted by a jury made up of fellow citizens, not "the government" acting alone, on a whim. Second, I'll quote the Apostle Paul from the book of Romans:
"He who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer." Romans 13:2-4.
Paul is not talking about politics, or about obeying just any government, like Nazi Germany, which would cause us to violate the laws of God. He is talking about government being instituted by God to provide laws and order - and punishment when they are broken, which is the teeth behind all laws. And capital punishment? "...for he does not BEAR THE SWORD for nothing."
In fact, Jerry Brown's dad, Governor Pat Brown, let a man go to the chamber who had only been convicted of forcible rape. (that used to be a capital offense in Cal.). I believe the criminal's name was Caryl Chessman.
"I'll bet Mike Farrell thinks abortion is a good thing. Betcha"
...
I bet Farrell and his dimbulb ilk NEVER think about the victims! We CERTAINLY never HEAR OR READ about any sympathy from them for murder victims and their surviving families.
Out with the trash! Victims rights Now!
Hah! Now ~that~ is pretty funny. You think people shouldn't be judgmental for someone *convicted* of murder, yet it is OK for *you* to issue judgement when someone merely agrees with a jury?
Hehe... pretty funny.
The one moonbat anti-Death Penalty celebrity that at least is also pro-life is Martin Sheen.
Not a student of Aristotle, I gather.
Dittos to that, every bit.
And don't worry about the so-called mob. All Tookie's supporters like to talk a tough game, but they're a bunch of candy a$$es, who will roll over and do nothing when the time comes.
"She hasn't started yet. She'll take the position in January. I wonder if she decides to resign..."
Early Christmas Present!!!
"That just makes you a sick and twisted freak."
LOL
I've been called worse.
I'll drink a beer for the both of us when that KClO4 goes coarsing thru Tookie's veins tonight. 25 yrs is way too long for the victim's families to wait for this sob to get his.
If Arnold needs a place to crash after Maria tosses him out of the house, he can have my couch for a few days.
