SAN QUENTIN, California (CNN) -- Convicted killer and Crips gang co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams was executed early Tuesday at the California state prison at San Quentin.
The execution went ahead as scheduled after the U.S. Supreme Court late Monday rejected a last-ditch appeal.
The high court's ruling followed California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to deny clemency for Williams, 51, who received a lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday (3:01 a.m. ET).

The surviving family members have lived in terror that they would be targeted by tookie's gang banger buddies.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
He continued to be called by that gang name.
An hour or two before the big moment, CNN had Mike Farrel spewing nonsense. It was all about his anger, his compassion. (He was offended.)Then MSNBC: Jesse J. interviewed by Rita Cosby. In reverential tones "Me, me, me, me...I'm important and you're not. I got to see 'Tuckie'." Jesse switched effortlessly from "Free Tuckie'" to "Well, 'Tuckie's' toast, but he's on his way to heaven." This wasn't about Tookie. It was just another chance for Liberals to get face time on TV. They used him. I hope he knows that.
Jackson is scum of the lowest order. He is a MASSIVE racist and yet the media kisses his ass. He is a FRAUD
Let me assure you I am no bleeding heart liberal...far from it you wazoo aperure.
I suspect the Pearly Gates were closed and St Peter may have given him a short lecture and sent him on his way.
She is one of those who gave the black power salute and shouted at the end.
I guess Louie Fharrakan in his "Astroplane" was too slow in beaming Tookie up, and out of the death chamber.
More than that, it was carried out according to GOD's law...and I'm content with that.
Gen 9:6 - "Whoever sheds the blood of man, BY MAN SHALL his blood be shed."
Lev 24:17 - If anyone takes the life of a human being, he MUST be put to death."
Lev 24:21 - "Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man MUST be put to death...I am the LORD your GOD."
While Jesus was on the Cross with the two men who were receiving CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for mere THEFT, Jesus said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it being wrong for the government to execute them---for THEFT!!!
That would have been a PRIME OPPORTUNITY for Jesus to condemn the death penalty if He had a problem with it..and He DIDN'T, because GOD DEMANDS IT!!!
GOD's Word, and Jesus' condoning it via silence at THE opportune time, is good enough for me!
Go to bed already, you're sounding ridiculous.
Jessie Jackson is planting a seed of racial resentment today, one of the many he has sown over the years. The guilt or innocence of Tookie is irrelevant to him. He knows that some African Americans will believe that Tookie was innocent, especially if someone of his "stature" says so. This will cause distrust and alienation in the African American community. Some day, he hopes to harvest the fruit of what he has sown today.
There is a minority culture of conspiracy theory in this country. There are people who believe that the levees in NO were dynamited, that Tookie was innocent, that the Jews were told to stay home on 9/11 and that OJ was framed. No amount of common sense is going to reach these people, because they are happy in their delusions. Jessie Jackson is cynically feeding in to this, making sure these people remain in their fantasy world, where they will be marginalized and dependent on their new African American race-hustler masters.
Jesse Jackson is beneath contempt.
Schmuck.
Here in Germany there is much news coverage about this Tookie-Case, the lefties use this opportunity to bash on America again while they are silent when Iran or China execute and torture every day innocents.
Good grief. You signed up to spew this drivel?
Tookie didn't win the Nobel. He was nominated.
You mean they finally tookies life away? That sweet'n'cuddly Tookie Monster guy who wouldn't hurt a fly? (according to the slanted media, he was the victim) Justice served. Next?
