Isn't this article written by the same Kevin J. Fagan that claimed to have seen a tear gently roll down "Tookie" Williams' cheek?

I SMELL AGENDA. Well, more accurately, I smell the Stench that is San Francisco...

"... It sounds like he wasn't perhaps as incapacitated as it seemed ... and that his "Indian" attributes were picked up while in prison."

So it appears. The warden says that the allegedly 'legally blind', 'nearly deaf', and incapacitated wheelchair-bound Allen has been walking around his cell reading his own mail for months prior to the execution. His hearing was good enough that he could identify those in the witness chamber who called out to him as he rose under his own power to get to the gurney.

When he entered prison, he was a 'White man' and then later embraced his part Indian heritage so that his supporters in the anti-Capital Punishment movement could refer to him as a 'person of color'.

"(2) HE WAS NOT AN INDIAN. His intake form said "white" - the whole native american routine was again concocted years later by his lawyers. No doubt he had some choctow blood, but he didn't discover his "heritage" until late in the game.

Please re-read my post and you will see that my comments were meant to be sarcasm.

I wouldn't trust any word that came out of that scumbag's mouth!

Point taken, but it's not the criminal that elicits the emotions you're reading. It's the debate over the issue of capital punishment.

I think that it's not so much a celebration of a criminal's demise, but another 'victory' (if you will) over the anti-capital punishment activists.

It's their way of insulting them back.

It was reported yesterday that he enjoyed a last meal of KFC chicken nuggets, buffalo meat, and some other items. My sources tell me he only took one bite from each item and pronounced it "good."

Hopefully they did not waste the remaining food but saved some taxpayer $$ by recycling it for some of his death row buddies.

Not only that, but he continues to call the administered drugs "poisons". They are not poisons, but drugs that are regularly administered in medicinal use (thiopental, for oral surgery; muscle relaxer, etc.) They just aren't used in lethal doses in everyday life. His bias seeps out just in the descriptions he uses.

There are good arguments against the death penalty, but this old scumbag is the best argument for the death penalty , as he successfully murdered three people whilst in jail.

Honey mustard or BBQ? Inquiring minds ...

I love it! I used to have a copy of that post card too. Bought it in Mojave, CA around 1968.
