Are you daft? By prosecuters in the original trial and more
prosecuters in subsequent appeals.

Even the most liberal appeals court in the country
won't overturn his conviction.

Where exactly does ones' opinion come from herein?

From the fact that he has run out of appeals. Why can't you see past
your nose?

half-truths and fear-based baloney
you've read in this group.

Almost all of which come directly from your posts.

You must be in pretty good with God. How did you manage that? You
have proxy access to his Microsoft Outlook schedule book as well?

I didn't know God and Bill Gates had a deal going. I was always told
Bill Gates made a deal with the Devil.
Sounds like you have God (and morality) all figured out.

Oh yeah -- the RNC runs its entire platform on Microsoft/Oracle, so
you're prolly right about the deal with the Devil part.

Frankly, it's about as likely as Kindergartners not joining a gang when they
grow up.

The absurdity is that while YOU don't think that teen agers will listen to
him, you do think that small children will.

The guy started one of the most violent street gangs to ever roam the
planet, and he killed 4 people in cold blood, and you want to give him
another chance.




Quote:

Yeah, right.

He can, and indeed, he has.

Bullshit. Just because he wrote a few books doesn't mean that anybody
decided to NOT join a gang as a result. If he has that kind of power, then
he should write a book to his cohorts and get them to stop.

The best we can do to stop these people is to put men like Tookie Williams
to death, give them the punishment they deserve in a very public way.

That's already been done. That is why he's on Death Row and has had all of
his previous appeals denied.

extermination of its citizens was a Good Thing was around the
1930s-1940s.

So?

If they all jumped off a cliff, would you follow them? What fucking
difference does it make what they do? Our law is what we need to uphold or
change, not theirs. We have 650 prisoners on Death Row in California alone,
and Tookie will be the 12th to be executed since 1976 when the DP was
reinstated in this state.

That's close to 30 years, or less than one every three years, to execute 12
inmates. The average time they spend on Death Row exceeds the life span of
their victims by nearly double the age of the victim when they were killed.
If we killed one Death Row inmate every week until they were all gone, and
no new inmates were added to the system, it would take 12.5 years to empty
all of the cells. I do not advocate doing that, but it brings the picture
into perspective. Our justice system is far too lenient, and would-be
criminals have no fear of being caught and convicted because for many of
them, they will have it better inside than on the streets. And, we do
nothing to punish beyond putting them behind bars.

The main shortcoming of the Death Penalty is that it takes far too long to
carry the sentence out. Tookie did his deeds in the middle '70s, was tried
in the late '70s and early 80's. That's 25 years he's been on appeal, it
should be 5, tops.

It depends. I don't want to be tortured. But, if I killed 4 people in an
evening, I expect the punishment to be death. I'd also expect the punishment
to be delivered relatively quickly, not in 25+ years.

I don't support pulling out finger nails of military prisoners. But taking
their clothes and making them uncomfortable with women present isn't
alarming to me.
