Actor Sean Penn waits outside of San Quentin State prison in San Quentin (crying)

In honor of Tookie, someone should have passed out marshmallows - 'cause Tookie's burning in hell...

""I think people see tonight just how unjust the system is," added Sarah Poole, another young death penalty opponent from San Francisco."


I have to agree with this young lady, the system is very unjust.

Tookie took four lives, but only had one to give in return.
It's too bad we can't resusitate him and do it three more times!

Ian't he though? He fashions himself a real intellectual, just head and shoulders above the rest of us.

Emotions run high? Thank God, I am blessed with the ability to employ logic and reason when engaging in critical thought. These poor schmucks are at the mercy of allowing their emotions to dictate their thought patterns.

Why not Hitler? He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, too....

And after all he was a socialist. Maybe you are right about Hitler.

Jesse Jackson's and other's remarks were the same, as if the Gov. had single-handedly tried and sentenced Williams to death.

he harassed Jesse Jackson, demanding that Jackson recite the names of Williams' victims. He was later surrounded by Williams' supporters, chanting "racist go home."

I don't suppose those chanting "racist" were considered as "harassing" the dj.
Didn't think so.

LOL!

Tookie shotgunned a helpless store clerk who was obediently lying on the floor so Tookie could rob him. Then he shotgunned three other people, the youngest in the face, so he could rob them. Tookie got $120. He would have still gotten the $120 if he didn't harm any of them.

Then when a jury convicted him, Tookie defiantly said "I'm going to get each and every one of you m----- f------."

But Tookie's changed...you can't go back now, 25 years later, and look at the crimes. It's barbaric. Boo hoo.

She spent the night on her knees no doubt...praying to what god however is a mystery.

"Oh come on...is it REALLY that diffiCULT to figure out?!"

[technomage]

oddly enough, "longtime" death penalty oppenent Mike Farrell didn't manage to find the time to hold a silly vigil for Timothy McVeigh,Ted Bundy, or John Gacey.Gacey even wrote children's books and dressed as a clown!

Very good points. Someone should ask Farrell why he is not holding vigils all over the country.

[Mr Cobol]

I think the left judges these people on their life after the sentence and the right judges on life up to sentencing.

[FortWorthPatriot]

"That's how the Tookie crumbles."

Ha! I love it!

[Itzlzha]

Reminds me of the Frenchman that cried while the Germans marched into Paris.

Yup...same snivelling weakness....you pegged it!

Is Joan Baez still around? I listened to her in the "swinging 60's", forty years ago.

What a gaggle of pussies and pukes. "He tortured him (Williams) for 97 hours."

That 'torment' was just a Preview Of Coming Attractions, you betchum.

[Arizona Carolyn]

It gets worse, he also compared him to Moses yesterday.

Did Sean Penn's raft sink again?

[visualops]

horrific abuse of someone is now used just when someone is inconvenienced

Just as our military can't make anyone "uncomfortable" or it's torture.
