Convicted killer Williams put to death in Calif.I was thinking that he'd try to pull some sort of 'death chamber rebellion' to show that he's a 'remade man' and that he's fighting for his life. Apparently, he went into chill mode and faced his execution like a man.
SAN FRANCISCO - Convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams, the Crips gang co-founder whose case stirred a national debate about capital punishment versus the possibility of redemption, was executed Tuesday morning.
Williams, 51, died at 12:35 a.m. after receiving a lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison, officials said. Before the execution, he was "complacent, quiet and thoughtful," Corrections Department spokeswoman Terry Thornton said.
Of course, now this 'man' is DEAD. And as I said to a friend via e-mail this afternoon:
We watched FoxNews last night for what I called 'Tookie Time' - 12:01 am and it ended 34 minutes later with one scumbag removed from the gene pool on this planet.So.....I won't say 'rest in peace Tookie' - not now. Instead, I'll instead be touting this execution as proof-positive that there is some amount of justice in the world. And I'll be wishing Tookie an eternity of anguish in Hell as he becomes Satans 'fluffer' and has pineapples shoved up his ass - sideways - until the end of time.Do I shed any tears? Only for the victims that weren't given a chance to plea for clemency....
Tookie is dead. He deserved it. His execution will be a harbinger of things-to-come for those that decide that they're gonna take another person's life without a geniune reason: murder someone and you will die.
Any questions?
Michelle Malkin has a huge round-up about 'Tookie Time' - check it out.
UPDATE: The 'Save Tookie' lemmings are going to continue to prove Tookie was innocent much like O.J. Simpson was going to find the 'real killers'. I wonder if they'll keep going even if the money dries up.....?
UPDATE II: Zoombie has some intersesting photos along with on-hand information/insight about the Tookie lemmings that protested outside of San Quentin last night.

25 years, and so many appeals later, Justice is served!

rather than reform.
Not necessariyly 'revenge', but justice.
Yes, I'm sure you could throw out the lame arguement that executing Tookie won't bring back the four people he killed with a shotgun. But having him sit in jail would not do it either.
His execution serves as an example of what happens when you take another life AND as a deterrent to gang-bangers that think they'll get away with murder.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, December 13, 2005 09:04 PM ||He wasn't just sitting in jail. He was reaching out to kids who could identify with him (poor, deprived, discriminated against) and trying to show them where he'd gone wrong. Trying to steer them away from the path he'd gone down.
|| Posted by royston, December 14, 2005 05:13 PM ||From what I've read about Tookie, he was "reaching out to kids" but still wouldn't renounce his affiliation with the Crips.
And this started only seven or eight years ago - probably when he realized that he was close to being executed. Up until that 'reformation', he was a pain-in-the-ass prisoner according to both prison guards and other inmates.
In the end, he didn't seem 'reformed' to me.

|| Posted by royston, December 15, 2005 04:27 PM ||I am VERY OK with the revenge aspect of our justice system. If you shotgunned down my family - the father was shot in the groin to bleed to death, and the daughter took a shot to the front/left side of her face - I'd have a damn party when they injected your ass.
Prison is for punishment, not reform.
What does it matter that he tried to better his life (and THAT is up for debate, considering it was his girlfriend that primarily wrote the children's books, and the aforementioned non-repudiation of his gang ties - or the fact that he just wouldn't "rat out" his former homies)? He was in prison for killing 4 people. He was a mass murderer! Who gives a shit if he's reformed?

"Killing" people? Only if they were to harm or attempt to harm my family would I "kill" someone.
Executing them, on the other hand, is fine by me. This world suffers from people not taking responsibility for their actions - they'll - blame someone/something for their stupid mistakes, i.e., I was raised in the ghetto...my father beat me as child....I was found guilty at trial so I must have been the victim of racist jurors - the list goes on. There's always someone else at fault.
The Other Mike S. said it right - prison is punish ment, not reform. If someone turns a new leaf and is released and doesn't break the law again - THEN it's reform. But it's reform that was initiated by the prisoner. No amount of 'reform programming' will make someone want to be an upstanding citizen unless they want to.

They called Iraqis and WTF does this have to do with the American justice system?
Leave it to a barking moonbat to try and tie anything to Iraq and that's a debate that's been won time and again here.

|| Posted by royston, December 20, 2005 01:51 PM ||There are thousands of Iraqis (thank you) who feel exactly the same way that 'the other Mike S' feels. They've seen their children, wives, nephews, nieces, parents, grandparents, cousins etc. murdered in horrible ways. The fact that the murderers were wearing American uniforms is neither here nor there. According to your system of law these murderers should fry.
Unless, of course, you have double standards.
"Murder" in Iraq is subjective - people die in war. Those that did it maliciously have been or will pay for it.
You cannot lump in all civilian deaths into a murder category. And if you insist on doing so, please feel compelled to lump in those that have died because of 'freedom fighters'.
And once again - the topic was Tookie, not yet another rehashing of whether Operation Iraqi Freedom was legitimate in your eyes. Please stick to the topic at hand....
