I hope protestors show up with pictures of the crime scenes.

Oh no...another opportunity for Clinton to speak against America. You just KNOW he will be at this funeral along with the Beast.

Better they spend lavish amounts of money on horse-drawn hearses and a bling-bling casket than on actually bettering the lot of the poor kids Tookie had devoted his life to rescuing.

But they can save money on pallbearers - they'll only need two, 'cause a garbage can only has two handles.

Joan Baez, who sang Swing Low, Sweet Chariot outside the prison, called the execution “planned, efficient, calculated, antiseptic, cold-blooded murder.”...

and to think I used to be crazy about this woman!... These nuts have no cure. They are what they are... wackos!

This ain't no party,

“planned, efficient, calculated, antiseptic, cold-blooded murder.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As opposed to the 4 (at least) planned, gruesomely bloody, calculated, septic, cold-blooded murders the convict committed. These mourners are the same people who militate for turning even more of the economy and command control of people's lives to the state, yet argue incessantly for the 100% privatization of the death penalty, so that only monsters like this fellow can decide who lives and who dies. "1000 state executions since 19XX" get headlines, but the 100 times or more "privatized death penalties" inflicted during the same period get pg 37, inside column, if anything.

"...they would give him a funeral “befitting a statesman""

Heck go whole hog - see if you can't import some splodydope Pali Hamas members to stage a car swarm.

“If they think they succeeded by killing him in getting people to forget about him, they have done just the opposite,” said Barbara Becnel, his collaborator and most vocal supporter.

Tookie's extended 15 minutes are over, and so are Barbara Becnel's. She may try to stretch them out for a little while, but it will be futile. The Hollywood celebrities have already moved on.

Tookie is dead, and nobody cares anymore. Nobody who supported him really cared before, except to score cheap political points. The Tookie Williams cottage industry is going out of business.

Did his victims get a sedative also? Before he shot them?

Mussolini got a statesman's funeral...

Surely something similar could be arranged for Tookie...

I hardly think so.

That is silly.

Yes you are correct - he got a
1. anaesthetic
2. muscle relaxant
3. KCL i.e. potassium chloride


None of these substances are considered "poison" in the
way that cyanide is considered poison.

I understand how you feel, but...

We can and should judge the evil acts a person commits. I cannot judge, or even comment upon, the ultimate eternal destination of any person.

I better go buy a bottle of extra-strength Tylenol. Next thing you know the MSM will pre-empt their programming and force us all to watch this charade.

I heard about this on talk radio. Rush I think. Insanity is the issue. The man is a criminal. end of argument. Cremate him and dispose of ashes in the same matter of any other criminal...
