Tookie William's own son is a convicted murderer, and he's supposed to get credit for writing children's books with an anti-gang message? I guess the Coalition of the Damned doesn't give up without a fight. I only hope they get their hopes up to be dashed.
The sins of the son are to be visited on the father, I guess.
He's supposed to get credit for being a different person. I don't approve of what he was. I approve of what he is.
Redemption, Cobb. Do you believe in redemption? Do you want to live in a world where there is no redemption? Over on The Christian Prophet blog a message from the Holy Spirit today talks about forgiveness and says Schwarzenegger would find it easy to choose the right course.
I approve of what he is.
We don't know what he is.
Stan Tookie Williams, has done his wrongs by starting the gang
yes he was wrong for doing that because yes he should have found a different solution to his problems, but thats the only way he knew
that's where he got love from, the streets. Tookie, has served his time and is regretting everything that he has done in the past, but because he started the crips everyone is out to get him, thats not cool at all.
he did what he had to do to survive in his community.
they want to kill Stan Tookie Williams, they have no reason to do so because they do not have any physical evidence against him and thats a main part of a case to convict someone.
now a lot of people been on trial that did not have physical evidence against them and they got sent off the case, so why not him, get let go.
I don't think that he should be killed, and their's not sufficient evidence against him.
everyone want to do away with lynching, but here it goes again.
yes he should be punished for starting the crips, but he should not die because no one has the right totake someones life
the money that is bing used to kill him, could be going to schools that need to be fixed to educate children so that they don't go through what tookie has went through in his life.
We know what he wants us to think'he did what he had to do to survive in his community' is the biggest load of crap imaginable. I survived in his community, and anyone who grew up around crips or other bangers in LA know survival has nothing to do with it, especially not for Tookie.
Read the DA's report.

Of all the people in the world that clemency ought to go to, Tookie should be one of the last in line. I can't see how any self-respecting black person could stand up for this four time murderer and his gang.
What evidence would you accept that he's changed? Are you so merciless that you deny a person can change?
The real question isn't whether he has changed.
Everyone has changed. And everyone has remained the same.
The real question is whether he will reoffend.
If you evaluate that question on an individual basis, people will die. You have to evaluate it on a group basis. Williams is a member of a group, a group which could be titled "bully murderers". That group has historically been dangerous to other people when allowed the opportunity. Release 100 Williams', and twelve people will die because you released them. Whose lives are worth more, the 100 bully murderers or the twelve people left alive?
By this equation, life without parole and death yield the same result. But we know it's more complicated than that. Life without parole has frequently yielded parole, and more victims. Times change. People become convinced by words. People unlikely to personally be the victims. Other people die.
