I find it unsurprizing that I could not find Governor
Schwarzenegger's six page statement anywhere in the press. Here it is at the State of California web site. http://www.governor.ca.gov/govsite/p..._Statement.pdf ***************************** The governor's decision was met without opposition from Democratic Party leadership in California. Jesse Idiot Jackson, Democratic extortionist was the one vocal critic. Politicians maintained a deathly silence, showing that the governor's decision was not only bi-partisan but overwhelmingly supported by the populace. The Gubernator noted that Williams dedicated his 1998 memoir, Life in Prison, to "Nelson Mandela, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt, Ramona Africa, John Africa, Leonard Peltier, Dhoruba Al-Mujahid, George Jackson, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the countless other men, women and youths who have to endure the hellish oppression of living behind bars." [Makes you wonder if he felt any compassion for people he had killed.] In his statement rejecting clemency, Schwarzenegger made it a condition that the prisoner admit guilt: "Stanley Williams insists he is innocent, and that he will not and should not apologize or otherwise atone for the murders of the four victims in this case... Without an apology and atonement for these senseless and brutal killings there can be no redemption." Schwarzenegger singled out the mention of George Jackson, the Black Panther and prison activist killed by prison guards in 1971, declaring, "the inclusion of George Jackson on this list defies reason and is a significant indicator that Williams is not reformed and that he still sees violence and lawlessness as a legitimate means to address societal problems." |
