KFI | 12-11-05 | dfu

[doug from upland]

KFI in Los Angeles just announced that the California Supreme Court has denied Tookie Williams appeal for an emergency stay. Let's see if KFI got it right this time.

[CAWats]

Exactly when is his date with the needle? Monday at midnight?

Yes. One minute after midnight. Which would make it Tues morning.

[Baraonda]

Ping me to the thread, doug.

Thanks.

[tobyhill]

The MSM is already trying push Arnold to grant clemency by writing the sob stories about Tookie's mental status and repentance but they keep leaving off the most important part of the story, the victim's families.

"He hasn't reached a decision yet."

What decision does he have to make? He doesn't have any decision to make. None.

LOOK FOR THE THREAD TOMORROW ---

JOHN AND KEN on KFI -- TOOKIE WILLIAMS hasta la vista thread

I'll put up the link so people can listen online to KFI. John and Ken begin broadcasting from San Quentin at 3pm Pacific.

KFI doing LIVE coverage? I love it and I will be listening online.

That is, IF Arnold doesn't commute his sentence.

I trust you will post a LIVE thread...lol... and ping me first!

""I played a part in it"????? "

Never quite heard it expressed that way. An outstanding spin........must have been coached by Lanny Davis : )

[onyx]

Absolutely. Some folks are aching for an excuse to riot.

Here's one that probably should walk free, Cory Maye. Nobody seems to be taking up his case. Cops broke into his place on a warrant for another place.

---Let's summarize: Cops mistakenly break down the door of a sleeping man, late at night, as part of drug raid. Turns out, the man wasn't named in the warrant, and wasn't a suspect. The man, frigthened for himself and his 18-month old daughter, fires at an intruder who jumps into his bedroom after the door's been kicked in. Turns out that the man, who is black, has killed the white son of the town's police chief. He's later convicted and sentenced to death by a white jury. The man has no criminal record, and police rather tellingly changed their story about drugs (rather, traces of drugs) in his possession at the time of the raid.---

What decision does he have to make? He doesn't have any decision to make. None.

I thought he could still grant clemency. You're saying he can't. That's great news.

Took Took Tookie, goodbye

Took Took Tookie, don't cry.........................

[WasDougsLamb]

----You are missing the point here. This poster implied it is no longer up to Arnold either way. That Arnold has no say. That is what I am asking him. I thought Arnold could still screw up and grant it even though the courts have turned him down. Your post is common knowledge. Everyone knows this. It wasn't what I was asking this poster.

Read posts #49, #64 and #88

Oh, but I want him to cry.

Isn't it utterly galling, how cowardly these murders become once they're facing their own death?

[kylaka]

Taking any life is not an intellectual exercise. It is a moral one. The sum of Tookie's life makes the decision an easier one though

[doug from upland]

John and Ken should have one helluva show tomorrow. A KFI newsman will witness the Journey on the Gurney.

I won't have a ping list, but I am hoping that the Admin Moderator will keep the thread in Breaking News and keep it at the top. It should be one massive thread.

Look for:

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yes it is, Onyx. Galling and sickening.

[doug from upland]

Arnold can still give clemency. They can still try a federal appeal.

[Eastbound]

I'll hold yer coats.

[onyx]

Oh come now Douglas --- surely you can remember to ping me, your favorite friend...lol.
I'll find the thread.

[Baraonda]

OK.
