Stanley Tookie Williams executed Crips gang co-founder put to death for 4 murders
Tuesday, December 13, 2005; Posted: 3:38 a.m. EST (08:38 GMT)
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).

He won the Noble Price did he not?No. He didn't. I can nominate my dog for a Nobel Prize if I'm willing to spend the $5,000.

"I am saddened that we are continuing to demean human life by pretending that we are God and making determinations to kill other individuals for what it is claimed they have done," former "M*A*S*H" star and death penalty opponent Mike Farrell told CNN. I'd say "shut up and entertain us", but never found him particularly entertaining.
How about "shut up".

Tookie has undergone a reformation now. He's standing before a different Judge that has the facts and political correctness is not a deciding factor. Did Tookie ever ask for forgiveness from God? I never saw any reference in the MSM about that. Bets are on that Tookie went a little further Southern than California. Well...not that I support Tookie but the repentence is a personal thing between him and God...

In spite of all the ominous threats of rioting, this piece of trash will be forgotten completely by New Year's Day.

That logo is much better. I must be dense, though, because I was seeing it for who knows how many months before i realized that the "r" was a gun.

I'm not totally against the death penalty. I am a Conservative, but the only issue I have is the death penalty. I guess I'm just not sure if it is the right thing or not. It makes me feel bad and bother's me, but I guess it should bother me as a Conservative. It should bother us all that we have to put down murderer's. If only these idiots would realize that you pay for your crimes. But they keep killing! I don't like putting someone to death and I wish there was another way, but as long as people choose the death penalty than so be it.
By the way, I have no love lost for Tookie Williams and I hope this can give closure to the families of the victims he killed.

An Anti Death Penalty group nominated him for the prize.
Good Riddance! I see he news ignored his death this morning, after making a big deal out of this piece of garbage all week.

I hope he knew the Lord and is now being purified in purgatory. I hope that Albert Owens, Yen-Yi Yang, Tsai-Shai Yang, Yee-Chen Lin have found mercy at the Throne of God. I hope that they were having too much happiness and fun in heaven to even care that Williams was dead. Your words are worth repeating and I share your wishes. Thank you.

Redemption isn't the point, for me. You can't brutally murder people then "redeem" yourself. You need to pay in kind for what you have taken.

I realized that the gun was from "The Sopranos" a little after I noticed it and saw the logo for the show on FR. I stopped watching television before the show came out, so I hadn't seen it.

works well with your nick.
Do you just paste that thing in everytime? I did that for about a week a few years ago but got tired of it.
