Tookie Delenda Est!

[samadams2000]

When do they smoke a tookie?

[mtbopfuyn]

Exactly. The victims are always forgotten in these things.

[L98Fiero]

Tookie es muerto.

[gotribe]

That's the way the tookie crumbles.

"Families of Williams' victims urge governor not to forget them [Tookie]"

He should also not forget the actual victims. How do you stand at the foot of a grave and tell the occupant you've decided to let the person off who put them there?

Thank you for your correspondence regarding Stanley Williams.

There is a court order currently in place that calls for Mr. Williams to be executed by the State of California on December 13, 2005, and Mr. Williams has, through his attorneys, expressed his desire for the Governor to grant him clemency in this matter.

Capital punishment is an issue about which many people hold strong and impassioned views, and Governor Schwarzenegger appreciates you taking the time to express yours with regard to Mr. Williams. Your correspondence will be given due consideration during the clemency process.

Thank you again for writing.

Sincerely,

ANDREA LYNN HOCH Legal Affairs Secretary

This was my response from the governor's office.

I've got a bad feeling that Arnold is going to let Tookie off. Why else bother to have clemency hearings except to give himself cover: "I listened carefully to both sides and weighed all conflicting views, and then I did what Maria wanted me to."

I have always thought justice should be swift and sure.
If a criminal wants to have an appeal, he should first under go all possible means to prove he did not do the crime by using all types of truth serums.
This would lower the amount of innocents in prison and might clear up other crimes.
This would also save the vast amount of money paid to lawyers who make a career out of filing endless appeals for these scum.

If Tookie thinks execution is his biggest worry right now he needs to think again. Its after the execution. The drugs themselves will be painless....his afterlife....well...that is a different matter.

Tookie wrote 2 books, one sold 330 copies and the other sold TWO copies.

"...their loved ones who got no second chances, no opportunities to turn their lives around."

Somehow I suspect there was no "turning their lives around" required for the victims. And if there was, jail and a death sentence hanging over their heads wouldn't have been required.

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

"They want Schwarzenegger to reduce Williams' death sentence to life in prison without parole."

Then they will ask a future governor or president to grant a pardon to the Nobel Laureate at the urging of His Excellency, Kofi Annan.

[keat]

He has since renounced his gangster past

MSM Lie Alert.

[outriderduke]

Did tookie ever have a legit job?

[dbostan]

There are reports that Arnold met Tookie at a bodybuilding place before the murders, which is deeply troubling.</p>

-----These are the people who SHOULD have input, Not the celebrities out looking for PR oppertunities. I hope Arnold does the right thing. Execute that murdering bastard and be done with it.

[badgerlandjim]

They stuck me on a Tuesday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron...

yeah!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Anyone who takes a perverted pleasure on how their victims sounded when they died, doesn't deserve to live. Tookie Williams is not a changed man. From articles I've read in the last few days, according to officials at San Quentin, he's still running the Crips from behind bars.

[goldstategop]

It bearing reminding the people now dead don't get to start over again. Why should Stanley Williams receive mercy he never showed to them? That's exactly the point here.
