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).

"What's with all these "May God Grant Tookie Peace...etc..." stuff? I am pretty certain he is nowhere near God at this time (probably someplace condsiderably warmer)"
I grant the thug eternal pain in the eternal fires of hell, where the mutant rightly belongs.
Imagine, some have even remarked that this sub-human is now in purgatory.
May the racist rot in hell.
"and I hope what Dante wrote about how he saw the layers of hell are only a small taste of what is to come."
Karon the demon, is busy making preparation for his arrival and to transport him to the other side of the akeron river.
I think I got the names rights. Has been a long time since I studied Dante's Divine Comedy.
"As for Tookie, it's between him and God now."
More like between him and the devil.
Could be.
PARTY AT MY PLACE!
When a sociopathic, murdering scumbag FINALLY receives his well deserved punishment and justice has FINALLY been served...
We have ample reason to celebrate.
Hope Tookie enjoys his "eternal dirt nap". Good riddance asshole.
Who cares?
No, from what I heard the witnesses say (and I fell asleep with the set on and woke up to their interviews) I don't think they characterized him that way. Maybe some exasperation with the length of time to get the needle in, but more like defiance, intimidation, maybe acceptance toward the end.
What was Tookie's last meal? Enquiring minds want to know.
Devil: "If you were a converted muslim, you'd get 72 virgins, but as it is...
There's no NOOKIE for TOOKIE".
Good riddance.
Prayers for the victims and their familes.
The Nobel Peace Prize is only used now as a tool of the left to bash their opponents (like President Bush) or to promote their sick, twisted, socialist, pacifist agenda.
Do you have a link to this, please?
You are seriously saying that Nobel Peace prize nominees should have freebees to commit murder?
Yes, Stanley Williams DID murder those people.
He was NOT innocent.
He died as he SHOULD, for his crimes.
He was never remorseful, never sorry, never felt an ounce of shame that may have shown 'reform'.
Tell me, HOW can he be 'reformed' if he is 'innocent' as you claim?
Wait! Wait! I gave ABSOLUTE PROOF of his innocence! Really!
Who knew?
"How is that allowed?"
I'll take a stab at this. In America, no newspaper or official is allowed to say someone committed a crime, until they are convicted by a court of law.
however, there is new inverse of the above rule. People can always claim someone is innocent, no matter what.
correction:

yup, Who'd a thunk it.
"And I'm quite put-off by the celebratory attitude that some people here are taking. I don't think this is anything to celebrate like the coming of the New Year..."
don't like to offend, but I am celebratory. I enjoy it.
"I just wanted to repeat their names. The mainstream media avoid mentioning them as if they never existed. It is kind of Orwellian."
Thank you.
