The ACLU of Northern California in San Francisco held a news conference at their offices in downtown San Francisco Monday, shortly after the governor's decision was announced.
Also present were members of Amnesty International and actor Mike Farrell, who is on the board of Death Penalty Focus.
"We are terribly disappointed with the governor," said Dorothy Ehrlich, executive director of ACLU of Northern California.
Magdaleno Rose-Avila of Amnesty International said his organization was shocked by the governor's decision and further "disgusted by his tone ..."
Farrell, perhaps best know for his TV roles in "MASH" and "Providence," lashed out at Schwarzenegger.
"Governor Schwarzenegger has demonstrated he is another cowardly politician," Farrell said, adding the governor tortured Williams in the wait for clemency.
"The questions becomes: What does this act on his part tell us about himself? That he is a creature of politics."
Farrell could always volunteer to take Tookie's place.""
I would prefer a "twofer"......
Hawkeye wants Tookie released immediately and given 26 years' restitution""
I got his stinking "restitution" and it's coming out of the barrel of my shotgun.
Wonder if Mike Farrell and his friends would have Tookie over for dinner at their fancy houses or allow him to read bedtime stories to their children alone...NOT!
Hey Hollywood: if you wouldn't welcome this guy into your own house, why on earth would you plead to let him back out on the streets?""
That has been my point for years.
My solution:
ANY lawyer who wants to plea bargain and get a perp released, the LAWYER has to take the PERP into his house, supply food, board, and have this perp inside the family with the lawyer and his family.
If the perp follows his criminal traits and screws up. LAWYER loses his license for life. Perp goes back to jail.
Judges who let perps off easy: They get one warning after the first perp screws up, then the second one who messes up the good thoughts of the judge, the judge gets booted off the bench for life, and he cannot work as lawyer, either.
With those rules in place, I wonder just how many perps will get pleaded down or turned out on OR?
In every stinkin' episode!
Take an aspirin and put some ice on it Mikey.

Rioters will. They will take the feckless "moral" outrage of the ACLU, Amneski Internationale and Mike Feral as a cue. And, btw, don't fool yourselves, the lefties know this. They will secretly consider rioting a vindication of their views. Although what it really "vindicates" is the indulgent and infantile nature of their refusal to graciously accept political defeat on an issue that was thoroughly and fairly aired, investigated and debated.

If you mean left-wing activism, he's done plenty of "work"... But as for acting? Nope...
