Tookie Delenda Est!

[msnimje]

Terminate Tookie!

[ncountylee]

I have the wine picked out and a few fire crackers ready.

[msf92497]

Whiny puss can't go out like a man. He hasn't changed. Subhuman coward.

[JRios1968]

Regardless of Arnold's actions, Tookie Williams will get something he denied his victims, a chance to live another 26 years. For that, I think Tookie's proper sentence should have been to die just like his victims. Only then would I feel my sense of proportionality to be satisfied.

[Chaguito]

do away with this barbaric device of the death penalty without having to lionize those who, in the end, richly deserve a life behind bars without parole

Oh dear, this is so... nuanced.

[aligncare]

On Laura her attorney guest said, he wondered if any of the Hollywood elites who are in support of williams, could name even one of his four victims!

[chaos_5]

I have 3 words "Kentucky Fried Tookie"

Doesn't this make you despise hollywood even more !

[Prost1]

"And while I believe Williams (and everyone else on death row) should not be put to death"

The author should preach this to the islamofacists who behead innocent people.
He should go and preach it directly, to their face!

[AmeriBrit]

Terminate him now, tonight, and save the California taxpayers some money.
If Arnold reverses the cold blooded murderers sentence to life imprisonment, he not only loses a lot of votes in this part of the state, he will also lose any respect we had left for him.

[dagoofyfoot]

Ketucky Fried Tookie.


Kentucky Fried Chicken will be nice when I tune into the broadcast on the night the zap Tookie...


But what wine goes well with an execution...red or white? Somebody help me out here.

[digger48]

When stating their facts, they went the long way around and avoided saying that this will only be the 12th execution in CA in 30+ years, and Tookie will only be the 2nd black

[ncountylee]

Doesn't this make you despise hollywood even more !

Don't think I could despise Hollywood more.

[Nateman]

Too bad they can only kill him once.

[Fruit of the Spirit]

I have as much sympathy for "Tookie" as he did for his victims!

"Then we all better sit down and figure out how we, once and for all, do away with this barbaric device of the death penalty..."

DON'T include me in your "we". I voted for the death penalty! Trouble is....the system is not full-proof and the sentencing drags on for decades, costing taxpayer money.

[msf92497]

Not wine. Kill a 40, in respect to Tookie

[newfarm4000n]

Too bad they can only kill him once.

he gets off rather lightly !

[Ciexyz]

Any indication how Arnie's leaning on the clemency thing?

[msnimje]

Good point. I also wonder if they have looked at the crime scene photos of his victims.
