Stanley Tookie Williams executed Crips gang co-founder put to death for 4 murders

Tuesday, December 13, 2005; Posted: 3:38 a.m. EST (08:38 GMT)

SAN QUENTIN, California (CNN) -- Convicted killer and Crips gang co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams was executed early Tuesday at the California state prison at San Quentin.

The execution went ahead as scheduled after the U.S. Supreme Court late Monday rejected a last-ditch appeal.

The high court's ruling followed California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to deny clemency for Williams, 51, who received a lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday (3:01 a.m. ET).

Tookie wasn't my enemie, he was just another bad guy that took others lives.
I don't speak for GOD and don't claim to. I do know that this guy didn't admit his crime and ask the lord for forgiveness.
As for whether he goes to heaven or hell I'd hate to go before the gates with his resume.
Did he accept the lord Jesus Christ as his savior again I don't know. Again I tell you to look at his resume.

California is no worse than Taxachusettes or other New England states.

At least we have the death penalty.

IMO no one will riot, the war on crime is working, possible instigators are dead or in jail, good people are glad this creep is out of commission permanently, even the Crips would say if you do the crime, you do the time...they knew he was just a con artist trying to impress a few softheaded white lefties!

Matt and Trey don't have a hair on their a$$ if Tookie doesn't show up very soon in this bed.

Regarding Post #171

"JOESBUCKS RESPONDED TO ME: "However in John 8, while the people [not the governmental authorities] were carrying out the "law" according to Leviticus, Jesus did intervene in the stoning of the adultrous woman, asking those who are sinless to cast the first stone."
JOESBUCKS ADDED: "So while Jesus did not comment on the death sentence of the thieves on the cross, he did spare the life of the woman."

She had no trial and was not condemned to death (as were the thieves on the Cross). Her accusers, however, chose not to throw stones when Jesus challenged them to review their own lives."

I would like to add to your comments to Joebucks that this was not a case of preventing capital punishment. The Jews were not permitted to impose the death penalty on any offense without Roman approval. Had they stoned the woman, the leaders would have been hauled before the Roman authorities. So it is doubtful the people there had any intention of stoning the woman. She was dragged before the Savior in order to trap Him in a have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife-yet? trap. Had the Savior answered that they should not stone the woman, He would have been accused of defying Mosaic law. Had He answered that they should go ahead and stone her, He would have been accused of breaking Roman law and hauled before the Roman authorities. The Savior chose wisely not to answer the question at all. The account should not be used to illustrate the Savior's attitude to capital punishment.

I don't speak for GOD and don't claim to.

So now you deny writing, "GOD won't have mercy for this killer bad guy"?

If you do not mean to speak for God, then you may wish to avoid making such statements.

"I agree. I don't understand how anyone can regard an execution as a form of entertainment."

You`re right... I didn`t really expect such a human reaction between all these complacent "he he he will burn in hell"-postings. Seems like the audience of an execution in Iran.
Well, I know no single argument "pro" death penalty - no logical argument. The U.S.A. and the so called rogue states have not much common grounds I think, but the death penalty is one. Schwarzenegger had the chance to make a good step against it, but he didn`t. In my view it looks like: Williams - 4 victims, Schwarzenegger - 3 victims (and more to come, I bet).

OK you all its time to let these personal attacks go
only shows a lack of intelligence on all sides
Keith is entitled to his opinion no matter how screwed up the rest of us think it apparently is...Bleeding heart liberals to the left and let the blind lead them on into the darkness..I don't think Tookie in any way was redemption-ed enough to settle the accounts with God over killing 4 innocent victims,one execution style,may God bless the victims in heaven and now that Tookie has paid his dept to society and to the victims of his outrageous behaviors let him go to his eternal fate and remember him no more

I hope you didn't wake your neighbors. It's just swell that you, and so many others find delight in this. It makes this forum a better place.

It's not for us to judge Mr. Williams destination after his death. He was convicted of a crime, and received a proper punishment befitting that conviction. His debt to society has been paid via the proper but wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too delayed implementation of his sentence.

I hope he found God in the last 20 + years, and in so doing hopefully he found salvation for his sins. Based uon things like his escape plans, his alleged attacks against corrections officers, and refusal to help police deal with gang activities, and his refusal to accept responsibility for his crimes....I doubt if his statements of salvation are sincere...but it's not my place to make that judgement, nor is it anyone elses. It's now between him and God....

" You responded to my post as though it said that I had never heard of executions being used as entertainment. The post does not say that, or imply it.

I don't understand the appeal of child molestation either. This does not mean, as you apparently would conclude, that I am unaware that child molestation has a long, disgusting history.

Patronize someone else.
"


My apologies. I certainly did not mean to demean your posted thoughts.


Merry Chistmas.

Okay, I'm done with calling a grown man "Tookie". From now on, he's Stanley.

Of course he nor Al Sharpton will show up. That pig Sharpton was on Hannity last night and he and Colmes were saying there was no evidence against Williams. What a joke liberals are.

I heard on the radio williams has a son in jail and they were afraid of riots.
