Murder victims deaths will not be in vain Victims Rights Now

Stanley Tookie Williams did take responsibility for his actions and showed remorse for the harm he had caused, contrary to what Syl Jones (Opinion Exchange, Dec. 13) and a recent letter writer say.
I see remorse and the taking of responsibility for his actions in the tremendous work he did reaching out to bring peace to the gangs, writing children's books, and his mentoring of his former neighborhood's youth who were heading down the path he had gone.

If more "CIVILIZED" people had the courage, yes courage is required in order to view the indescribeable horror those photos "PROVE" what kind of hideous beast from hell Tookie was. We would be stampeding through the current Lets Make A Deal type court system across America to do away with the insane liberal coddling gym spa scene that exists as prisons today.
* VICTIMS RIGHTS NOW * Not yesterday, not tomorrow, NOW !
Just don't allow people like this letter writer to contaminate your mind.
Murder victims deaths will not be in vain Victims Rights Now
Tookie is doing well after his death although suffering from the heat.
A little late with the remorse there, Tookie-wookie.
I hear the Strib investigated its own faked circulation numbers and pronounced themselves innocent of any wrongdoing. That's nice...
NICE
Tookie Williams - He Showed Remorse
I was listening to someone on the radio, can't remember who, maybe Glen Beck--but anyway there was a guy who witnessed the whole lethal injection process and said that he showed "no remorse". And plus some of the guards were getting threats from current (I think) and former Crypts members. So stupid. Good riddence murderer!

SJA (St. Joan of Arc) Launches Cable TV Project
snip
Rozycki found himself listening to Christian radio while delivering pizza and it was then that he became aware of how right-wing media is shaping our culture.
What pushed Rozycki into action was something the late Senator Wellstone said to Bill Bradley when Al Gore was smearing him during their presidential campaign. Bradley didn't want to do anything about it. Wellstone told him, "You have to respond, if you don't respond people will believe it."
Rozycki felt that St. Joan's needs to respond to the fall/redemption theology that is all over the media. All we're hearing is "God made us flawed and he's ticked off." That faction believes that the purpose of religion is so that we learn to believe in Jesus - and only Jesus- so that we are saved (i.e. go to heaven.)
According to Rozycky, "There is no media that affirms the purpose of religion as encouraging us to a higher spirituality through community, through a deeper joy in all of creation, through the healing power of love, through a comprehension of the divine in and about us all."
Rozycki believes that he could broadcast a life-affirming message from the Bible that can stir us to action. God is not an angry and vengeful God that some fundamentalists would have us believe. St. Joan's message is accepting and non-judgmental, like Christ's message. We need to send a truly Christian perspective where people are not excluded.
Actually, his idea started as a radio show, but Rozycki found that the possibilities were limited. KFAI is the only station to allow public programming, and they are not in short supply of programs. The proposal and approval process was going slowly. Then one Sunday Rozycki heard a homilist suggest that, based on the success of the SJA website, St. Joan’s ought to consider a cable TV program. (Who says God doesn't speak to us in concrete terms?)
After a small amount of research, he found that cable TV is more accessible, and St. Joan's would have more control over content. Initially, it seemed like just matter of supplying tapes, and the local access channel would broadcast them. Paul also found out that the once the show is produced, other cable stations would be more willing to air it. He jumped on it, putting the invitation to meet in the bulletin.
The response was great. Of the dozen or so people who showed up, most were connected to the video/TV industry in some way. Producers, writers, actors, musicians and videographers have brainstormed at two meetings so far, and confirmed that Rozycki's idea for a TV show was a good one. Is anyone surprised that our congregation is filled with so many gifted people from all industries and walks of life? People came to the meeting out of a sense of passion, out of a sense of, "My God, something needs to be said here. We're being drowned out by right wing think tanks and fundamentalists. We need to put our understanding of truth out there, a theology that represents St. Joan's, our approach to church, Christianity and community."

----I , too am full of remorse for even reading the article.
Not to admit your crime is not lack of remorse?
What planet are you from PAUL ROZYCKI?
That wasn't remorse you saw...it was Tookie passing gas.
Excellent!
This story is a crock. Tookie Williams was all about Tookie Williams. The first step to remorse I would think would be atleast an apology to the family you victimized.
Too bad he didn't do a better job "mentoring" his sons who are doing time for murder and rape. As far as his work with gangs, have they quit killing people and dealing drugs, I don't think so.
Trust me. If PAUL (Ro-Sicky)ROZYCKIs precious baby girl were slaughtered by Tookie and all the bleeting Pro-criminal celebrity sheep had to stare at the crime scene/autopsy photos of Tookies VICTIMS they would be singing a different tune.
When someone tells you who they are BELIEVE THEM!
These pro-murder fiends are telling the public who they are, over and over, again and again.
The Democrats take care of 'em;)
