Stanley Tookie Williams executed Crips gang co-founder put to death for 4 murders

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).

Thanks for providing the Left with more ammo to label conservatives all the things they label us. It's crap like this from people like you that make it so easy for them.
I'll say again - Tookie got what he had coming - but it's no reason to celebrate like your team won the world series or super bowl.

Truly pathetic.
Yes, Stanley Williams was indeed pathetic.
He was born, made the earth a worse place and was kicked off.

I wonder if in 2030 there will be a bunch of Hollyweirdos running around saying, Scott redeemed himself..I really hope not... Well he is white so there is little chance of that happening

Violent thugs like Tookie would not live as long on the street as he did in prison. He would have been long gone and the state of CA wouldn't have had to fork over millions in the care and upkeep of this criminal. This is not swift and sure justice as envisioned by our founders. The army of lawyers who sucked juice out of the system were definitely saddened by Tookie's long-delayed death.

I just heard on a radio news program that the entire execution process was only suppose to take a few minutes. It took about 22 minutes. Apparently the fellows who were responsible for finding the veins to inject the lethal doses had difficulty doing so. Tookie was trying to help them and became frustrated that the process was taking so long. He kept raising up his head and looking around. It was not suppose to take that long.
22 minutes is a long time. Plenty of time to repent publicly, but he did not. Even in the end, God allowed him time to repent. He chose not to.

Totally correct, still it bothers me that its 25 years on death row...Cal. needs to seriously rethink their commitment to justice and start putting the juice in the caboose of a lot of bad guys!
To: Keith in Iowa
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen video footage on any of the news channels of celebrations in bars and other public venues like we all witnessed with O.J.'s supporters.
To: Wilhelm Tell
So true. The victims are dehumanized, while we are expected to feel some deep empathy for the killer.
