Tookie should get a lethal injection.... of drain cleaner. Then his remains should be left in the prison dumpster with the rest of the garbage.
I don't care how many children's books he's written.

San Quentin -- As murderer and Crips co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams tries to stave off execution next month, California prison officials have launched an unusual counterattack against the notion that he has redeemed himself behind bars.
The Corrections Department earlier this month posted a press release on its Web site about the upcoming execution, detailing Williams' crimes and asserting that he has been a gang leader while on death row at San Quentin Prison.
San Quentin spokesman Vernell Crittendon, speaking on behalf of the department, went further in an interview last week, saying he suspects Williams is orchestrating gangland crimes from his cell.
"I just don't know that his heart is changed," Crittendon said, adding he has no proof of illegal activity.
Williams, 51, has been behind bars since 1979, when he shot and killed four people during two robberies in Los Angeles. He has been on death row since 1981 and is set to die by injection Dec. 13 in what could be the biggest death-row cause celebre in California since capital punishment was reinstated in 1978.
"They don't have anything because I'm not involved in anything," Williams told The Associated Press from a visiting cage at San Quentin's death row. "This is their way of executing me."
He and a childhood friend founded the Crips in 1971 in Los Angeles, and in the years that followed, the gang did battle with its main rival, the Bloods, for territory and control of the drug trade, leaving hundreds dead. Hundreds of offshoots and copycat gangs with thousands of members have emerged across the nation.
Williams' supporters contend he has made amends for his crimes, and they are pleading with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to spare his life.

Hell, it isn't just prison officials that doubt his "rehabilitation".
Anybody with a brain doubts it as well, and anyone that favors justice DOESN'T CARE if he is rehabilitatewd or not.
He is a MURDERER - fry him, shoot him, or inject him; I really don't care which.
I don't care how many children's books he's written.

Crip in a crypt.
Crip in a crypt.
Bloods don't give a rip.
Arnold give him a trip.
Snop think him hip.
Crip in a crypt.
Crip in a crypt.
Williams, 51, has been behind bars since 1979, when he shot and killed four people during two robberies in Los Angeles. He has been on death row since 1981 and is set to die by injection Dec. 13
Williams has refused to formally renounce his gang membership and submit to "debriefing" — that is, inform on his old friends. Crittendon also cited Williams' willingness to share an exercise yard with Crips and his unusually large prison bank account. And he said Williams' younger son is a trouble-making Crips member in prison for murder.
As for his bank account..high profile inmates such as Scott Peterson usually get $10 or $20 checks, Williams receives checks for $500 or $1,000 at a time.
Those are very legitimate reasons to think he has NOT redeemed himself.
Williams told the AP from a visiting cage at San Quentin's death row. "This is their way of executing me."
What does that supposed to mean?
Not only do I doubt his redemption, I don't think he wrote those books himself, and I think he paid somebody to nominate him for the Nobel Prize.
Both of his sons are also murderers. Great example he.
I doubt he had to. The Nobel Committee has always been fond of murderers and their advocates. (Arafat, Jimmy Carter, etc.)

Actually a nice little 5cc bubble of pure oxygen into the femoral would be more spectacular......and fitting for this pile of turds.
