Shotgun blasts to the head and torso. One whole family killed while helpless so that the noted humanitarian Tookie would leave no witnesses.
Gee, I don't think I read any of his books to my child - or ever will.
The cook would have no remorse for cooking the last meal for the inmate. They are not conducting the execution. This author is an idiot.
But if the death penalty is going to be enforced, there seems no better candidate than Williams. If the founder of the Crips can be granted clemency, then surely no one deserves the needle and the trolley.

Might be too good for him but, heck, Christmas is coming.
As for the last requests of the inmates. Who cares.
I mean really, who cares !!!
Murders have the exact same taste buds as the rest of us. They can chose whatever they want as a final sensation.
But we will execute them for the crimes they comitted. If they wanted a life of sundaes, they wouldn't have done the crime.
So tell this idiot to shut up already.
"Individual Responsibility" is a foreign concept to those people. "Victimization" is all they know, and all they want to see.
A skinny runt playing bulked up hulk, could it be to protray Williams as normal person?
LOL!
I was going to post-
So how come William Bonin (the Freeway Killer) managed to tuck away two large pepperoni and sausage pizzas and three pints of coffee ice-cream before his lethal injection?
Oh my goodness- that's terrible for the arteries.
Madonna writes children's books, too, so that is not saying much.
"See Dick. See Jane. See Dick blow Jane's face off and make remarks about the gurgling sound she makes as she lays dying..."
Fry him...
The cook would have no remorse for cooking the last meal for the inmate.

I had a really twisted thought. Do you think the cook ever spits (or worse) in the last meal?
I love Red Beans and Rice. Made some the other night- with some good smoked sausage cut up into it.

Statement of Governor Haley Barbour Arnold Schwarzenegger on Clemency Request of John B. Nixon, Sr Stanley "Tookie" Williams:
On Saturday, I made the decision to deny the request for clemency made by and on behalf of John B. Nixon, Sr. Stanley "Tookie" Williams, who was convicted in 1986.1981 in Rankin County Circuit Court Los Angeles County Circuit Court of a heinous murder four heinous murders. I made this decision after a careful review of the records provided on his behalf.
I will not presume to substitute my judgment for the judgment of the Rankin County Circuit Court Los Angeles County Circuit Court and the jury, which heard the evidence in the case, returned a guilty verdict and set the punishment; nor will I presume to substitute my judgment for the decisions of the Mississippi California Supreme Court, the United States District Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Ninth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those courts have reviewed the legal issues and determined that this defendant's legal rights were protected at every stage. His various appeals over all these years were repeatedly heard and consistently denied.
As governor I take the obligation of reviewing a request for clemency very seriously. And, upon review, I find nothing to convince me that clemency is justified in this case.
The real tragedy is that justice in this case has been delayed for more than 20 25 years. A delay of this length greatly reduces the deterrent effect of the death penalty.

So there you go Arnold. You're all set.
Yeah. Juice.
I'll pull the switch and spare anyone else the burden of being a mature adult and doing what has to be done for the good of everyone. Just give me a website to go to and a confirmation dialog box. "Please click Next to execute this murderer"
Tookie is nothing but filth who would have been absolutely unpenitent if he hadn't got caught.
If I had any imput with Tookie's execution, right after the IV drip is started, (and Took is layin' there "waiting"), over the "very substantial" loud system I had installed in the execution room AND the "observation room"( just special for Tookie's "visit")would emit the following at a "very substantial" volume:
Jules'(Samuel Jacksons')voice giving his Ezekiel 25:17 "speech" from Pulp Fiction.
Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I thought they strapped on a depends or stuffed his tailpipe with cotton to deal with that.
