Bye Bye Tookie. This is long overdue.

It is and it isn't. I'm opposed to the DP, but I'm not that concerned
about Williams. He certainly deserves it.

I don't believe that he was guilty.

Fortunately, you weren't on the jury or the appeals court.

One of the cable/satellite news channels ran a piece on Tookie's life today.
During his involvement with the Crips, the continuing war between them and
the Bloods took over 20,000 lives, according to a researcher at UCLA's
School of Law Enforcement (may not have that name quite right). While
Tookie was convicted of four murders, it was estimated that he was directly
or indirectly responsible for thousands of deaths, mostly young inner city
black men between the ages of 12 and 22, plus an assortment of innocent
bystanders.

Not guilty, eh? If he'd been on the jury, Jon, he'd have seen the
preponderance of evidence against Williams. That said, I'm not a fan of
capital punishment and would like to see it eliminated.
