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).

R.I.P. Albert Owens, Yen-Yi Yang, Tsai-Shai Yang, Yee-Chen Lin. I just wanted to repeat their names. The mainstream media avoid mentioning them as if they never existed. It is kind of Orwellian.

Fox news was the only one who repeatedly said the victims names.

What's this with "tookie"? Propaganda word to make him cute?

Someone on the news, can't remember who, said he still kept his GANG name!

>>>Given that one who murdered four times--for $220--was given his due after a quarter of a century of delay, celebration is warranted.<<<

Perhaps in your world. Not in mine. Tookie got what he had coming - justice was served. But it's no reason to act like your team won the super bowl or world series. I find your attitude repugnant.

Let's keep in mind that Terry Schiavo was innocent as well...

Good point!

Find my attitude however you wish. It won't interfere with my celebration of a rare display of righteous justice.

"I don't understand how anyone can regard an execution as a form of entertainment."


You obviously are not a student of history.


A short read of the events staged in the Roman Colosseum, a bit of the French Revolution, or the Spanish Inquisition may help you understand.


I did not say you will agree ... but you would understand.

The only thing I am celebrating is that I won't have to see that odious Mike Farrell on television for a while...until he finds his next "cause" on which he can pose as the intellectual who understands the issues so much better than we of the great unwashed.

Thanks for helping me understand the process. Nevertheless his supporters do seem to have abused the privilege in front of the victims family.

It was a far more merciful end than that of his victims.

If anyone riots over this, they need to be shot without hesitation. I don't personally care if the police are involved or not.
