Typical leftist BS: Stanley Williams was innocent, a victim of racism, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Not a single word about what Williams did, his four victims, nothing. This is more an indictment of Governor Schwarzenegger and his audacity to reject clemency for an unrepentant, psychopathic murderer than the execution of an unrepentant, psychopathic murderer.

But what more do you expect from leftist murderer lovers?

[trubluolyguy]

He had to die because he comitted MURDER. End of discussion.

[conservativehusker]

A Barf Alert would have saved me the 2 minutes I spent on this!!!!

[Casekirchen]

I support Niman when he says that 26 years on death row is too long and I support his call to expedite the execution of these criminals

[Hoodlum91]

I'm so sick of hearing about this vile monster.

LET HIM DIE ALREADY!!!

[jazusamo]

This might be a stupid question, but who is this nutcase Niman? He sounds like he might be related to Asner or Farrell.

[AppyPappy]

He had to die because we PUMPED POISON INTO HIS BLOODSTREAM and the book-peddling bastard deserved it.

It's important to note that Tookie also "transformed himself" into "Exhibit 'A': Why being a murderous thug can be bad for your health!"

[chesley]

By citing Life in Prison and basing his decision to execute Williams on his writings, the Austrian-born governor launched an assault on the Bill of Rights—particularly on the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech. Let’s make no mistake about this. Williams was imprisoned for murder, but in the end, after years of international accolades for his public service and anti-violence activism, he was executed for his beliefs

Possibly the most ignorant statement in a very ignorant screed. What is hard to understand about freedom of speech? You can say whatever you like, but most people will judge you on the things that fall out of your mouth, or that you commit to paper. Tookie was executed for his foul deeds, not his words.

[Redbob]

"Williams’ 1998 children’s book, Life in Prison,... Publishers Weekly recommends the book for children aged eight years old and older."

Be a cold day in Hell ("How is the temperature there, Tookie?") when MY eight-year-old reads anything by that POS.

[zip]

Dedicated his book to innocent political prisoners?? The author forgot to mention that these were criminals who played the race card when needed. What a load of BS.

[mbynack]

"Poor stanley. Executed for his love of kittens and roses. What an injustice. The four people (that we know of) that he killed were just an excuse for "the man" to silence this great humanitarian."

I'm getting the hang of this liberal journalism thing.

[rawcatslyentist]

Well the punishment fits the crime.

Tookie aint gonna start up any more MURDER squads of crack addled kids!

Tookie aint gonna shotgun any more innocent TAX PAYING CITIZENS!!!

Total Deterent!!!

He transformed himself into nothing but an insincere apologist and fraud who tried every angle to escape justice.

He did not transform himself into a "Nobel nominee", some bleeding heart scumbag liberal nominated him as a cause-celebre, not out of any hint of actual merit.

[Sister_T]

New evidence, in the form of four witnesses, raises possible questions to support some of these claims.

Why is it that "new evidence" seems to show up JUST WHEN someone is about to be put to death?

[mbynack]

with supporters citing coerced testimony, evidentiary irregularities, and a racially engineered jury as tainting his trial.

I see that they've modified the claim that it was "an all white jury." to a "racially engineered" jury. It WAS NOT all white. There was at least on black member. Also, the 9th circuit court - the most liberal court in the country - couldn't find any legal grounds to overturn the conviction.

[bmwcyle]

If he died for our amusement why didn't we get to watch?

[kenth]

During his 26 years in prison, he transformed himself into a five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, a prolific author of children’s books, and an anti-gang-violence activist.

Too bad he never learned how to bring back the dead.

[Tamar1973]

Specifically, the book is dedicated to Nelson Mandela, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt, Ramona Africa, John Africa, Leonard Peltier, Dhoruba Al-Mujahid, George Jackson, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the countless other men, women, and youths who have to endure the hellish oppression of living behind bars.” ....Let’s revisit the list of names that cost Williams his life. ...And they’re all publicly recognized political activists. They all spent time in jail and were all internationally recognized to varying degrees as “political prisoners.”

Publically recognized by who? Other liberal "activists" like Amnesty International or the Nobel Committee?! In jail for what? Violent crimes, not "political" issues.

[WasDougsLamb]

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger violently silenced one of the world’s most outspoken supporters of nonviolence—all in the name of combating violence.

******Fixed to tell the truth.

******California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger FINALLY silenced one of the world’s most outspoken supporters of GANG VIOLENCE all in the name of PROMOTING MURDER.
