OK, let's compromise. Let's produce a Nobel-nominated children's coloring book about his execution.

"......the letter states. "Lives have been saved."

In my opinion, an intensified method of death would be justified for this piecee of garbage.

"Through his work, gang truces have been mediated, and long-standing wounds have been healed," I guess the MS-13 gang bangers didn't get the memo

Seems to me that the clemency option is made for people who have reformed and made a contribution to society.
If this killer has reformed and is doing some good in his life, why not grant him clemency?
While I am putting on my flame suit, consider that the Apostle Paul, a killer of Christians, was given a second chance and changed the world for the better.

Well no more Jason Alexander or Russell Crowe on my list of viewing, Just two more on an ever expanding list of Hollywood Morons not to support with my entertainment money.
To: SmithL
Maybe if he had murdered a few worthless celebrities or Nobel Prize winners, they wouldn't be so hot to try and get this guy off death row.
To: SmithL
A better comprimise might be to have him switch places with Jesse Jackson.
At leat Tookie Williams is sorry for what he has done.

What season is for the murder victims to cry out?
Fry this bastard.

Well no more Jason Alexander Funny that Jason Alexander would want this guy to live. It was a few years ago that he stated on a talk show that the world could use lots more people dying of cancer to help it deal with overpopulation.

NO no no no no! He not only isn't repentent, he continues to whine that he's innocent despite overwhelming evidence (and a confession) that he DID!!!
To: SmithL
I wonder if...oh why bother, deciphering the Liberal mind and why they think the way they do is like searching for the bottom of the abyss.

How about a pardon for him as soon as he brings back the four people he murdered?
He is still a convicted murderer.
He can not completely undo the gang mentality he started as a lifestyle for so many.
When prisoners change personality wise, they frequently make themselves look better, not worse, for clemency or parole reasons. Many revert when released from prison.

If he had been executed in 1980 like he should have been, there wouldn't be any discussion about it now.

Before indulging in weepy eyed handwringing for this lowest of the the low lifes, you need to do your homework on "Tookie". He is the worst kind of murderous scumbag ever to infect Los Angeles, and that's saying something. If anything, his execution date should be moved up to, say, tomorrow. He hasn't changed. Tookie is a master manipulator--he knows how to play the system and the sob sister liberals.
Your comments are fine in the abstract. Problems arise when you try to apply them to a worst case example. Just won't work.
After you learn far more about Tookie than you know now, which seems to be nothing, come on back here with any further bleeding heart sanctimonious do-goodisms.
We'll be waiting.
