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.

I don't think the HTML will work on a messageboard like this. BUT try it on a webpage.

[Dad yer funny]

yup , I wonder when Tookie gets the pre-sedative , before or after lunch ??

Well, Seattle's a very liberal town, they're gonna pull out all the stops and make the dude sound like he's a saint...

It seems the courts are just a crap shoot, arrogant, cloistered, corrupt and oblivious. That's been my limited personal experience and recent judicial history bears it out. Poor, Cory Mayes, very likely innocent, but of no political value to anyone.

ME? Create the clock? ROTFLMAO!

I'll ask around and see if I can find a computer whiz because I think a clock is a marvelous idea!

Can anyone here create a countdown clock for Tookie's execution?

If yes, please FR mail the instructions to DougFromUpland.

Woo-Hoo! I bet you can do it!

Bianca Jagger - famous for nothing.

Well, she did invent that tasty breath spray. OH, that's BINACA.

Never mind. She did nothing.

Sadly to a certain extent I agree with you - There are absolutely major problems in our court system. Both criminal and civil court systems.

Additionally in the Mayes case, if one of those cowboy cops would have plugged him during that reckless assault (all in the name of the WOD)....this officer would have received a week or two suspension and that's all.

Mayes loses his life - Sad.

Hopefully, Seattle cannot influence CA. KOGO reports demonstrators in front of Arnold's LA home.

Point of the riot posts is to show what lying sacks of trash the supporters of Tookie are. Here they are trying to save the guy saying he's done so much to thwart violent youths and here are gang members threatening violence. Let him die. It will save inoocent lives

What did it sell for, how many bids, and is there a link?

Yeah, and I invented a cup with the handle on the left for left-handed folks. :)

[djf]

Right now, if he really wants to do some good, he oughta be writing the final chapter of his book.

Thank you, djf!

I think this is the ticket:

I bet you doug is gonna sell more of that song than Toothless Tookie sold children books.

The clock is 6 seconds behind -- he doesn't deserve those extra 6 seconds!!!!

9th upheld it.

*reads above* *clutches chest* *falls to floor*

The next stop would be the USSC.

Let's hope this one doesn't get Souterized. Guh.
