Oh I know Tookie got what he had comin'...
I'm just unsettled by some people here and their attitudes that seem to be excessively celebratory in my opinion.
It's a psychological thing.
Good people are forced to sit day in and day out and impotently witness blatant evil going unpunished.
The "celebratory" effect is somewhat like a psychological safety valve.
After seeing so much lawlessness going unavenged, it's an emotional relief to finally see some small bit of justice carried out.
If the relief of that safety valve is squelched, people can sink into despair over the fact that justice all too often seems to be delayed or entirely denied.
[short version; give 'em a break]...:)
Given that one who murdered four times--for $220--was given his due after a quarter of a century of delay, celebration is warranted.
Agree completely with you -
And I know a thing or two about the need for death and justice -
I don't think it's a matter of necessarily "celebrating" Tookie's death. It's more to do with the way the moonbats chose Tookie for their cause, and the idiocy they showed. That's what we are lampooning more than anything.
I sincerely hope Tookie made peace with God, and is in a better place, that's the Christian way to be. But he did deserve the punishment he got, and the moonbats should be ashamed of themselves.
I actually think Tookie could appreciate the "celebratory" mood. He's just being spared the sawed off shotgun part and element of suprise.
"I'm just unsettled by some people here and their attitudes that seem to be excessively celebratory in my opinion."
Oh, I've been celebrating since about 3:00 pm pacific time yesterday here.
May this sub-human burn in the eternal fires of hell. It's a good thing to see the enemy killed. It's an even better thing to do it cleanly and legally.

After 20 years the victims in Williams' murder spree have finally been given justice. Mr. Williams' death was far more peaceful and far less painful than anything he forced his victims to endure. Moreover, Mr. Williams did not leave behind young children to be raised without a father; he left behind a legecy of gang violence. And all the children's books to his credit can not cleanse that stain.
If any compassion is required from his execution, let's focus it where it can do the most good: the liberals who fought so hard for their killer. Why they are so upset and demoralized this morning that they don't even have the energy to make it their plastic surgeons office for botox. Can you imagine the loss of revenue! How will this affect the GDP? Will FEMA be called in?
To those who believe the celebrations are in poor taste: My feelings of celebration this morning is not for the death of a killer. I hope he has found salvation. But the truth remains: He's gone and society is safer. The celebration is for the victims, and that celebration examined under any microscope, is not excessive.
I personally am sickened at the gangs that have taken over my home town making it I believe the eleventh deadliest city in the US. Any time we can give the homies a reality lesson I'm going to be real happy.
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.
25 years. That is also excessive!
I was happy when I heard he was dead. Think I let out a very lound "OH YEAH!" at about 12:30 in the morning...
Celebratory?
Yep. There is a cry in the human heart for justice.
We are celebrating the fact that justice--this--time in not lying face down in the mud with a knife in her back.
We are also celebating that this animal did not make a mockery of the system forevr.
We are also celebrating the execution of an unspeakably wicked man for the horrendous crimes he committed.
