He may well have done some good since his original crime.
But he murdered four people - in cold blood.
God may well forgive him. We can not.
That's just four that we've proven. I've heard he might have killed a lot more--or ordered their deaths.
He is also responsible for all of the other murders when the crips and bloods were trying to kill each other (no loss when they succeed), but missed each other and killed innocents. I remember the S.O.B. from when I was a deputy sheriff working Lennox Sheriff station in the area where he was at the time organizing his little band of crooks and murderers.
I say that starting the crips in and of itself should warrant the death penalty.
It strikes me that these folks are protesting the death penalty, and are not professing this fellow's innocence. Huge difference.
Having said that, I fully expect Schwarzenegger to grant clemency. If he doesn't, he'll be a pariah in Hollywood. Will he be prepared to deal with that?
