L.A. Officers Urge ‘No Mercy’ for Tookie Williams – Los Angeles Times
Williams is a “coldblooded killer” who has “left his mark forever on our society by co-founding one of the most vicious, brutal gangs in existence, the Crips,” according to the statement urging Schwarzenegger to deny clemency.
He helped form one of the most notorious street gangs in existence (and is still a member). He was tried and convicted for the robbery/murder of 4 people and sentenced to death. While on death row (for the past 26+ years, sucking up the taxpayer’s money on a long line of appeals), he’s perpetrated http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47647 numerous violent crimes against guards and other inmates. He even threatened the lives of the jurors who sat on his trial:
“Specifically, the defendant looked at the jurors and said he ‘was going to get all’ of them,” said the report. “After learning of this threat, the trial judge inquired of the jury foreperson. The foreperson confirmed the defendant mouthed the words ‘I’m going to get each and every one of you motherfuckers.”
But wait! He wrote some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Williams#Books children’s books! Some liberal lunkheads have even nominated him for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Prize Nobel Peace Prize!
So does that mean his heinous crimes should be forgiven? Does that mean the families of his victims should go on suffering, knowing this evil man remains unpunished while their loved ones remain dead? I don’t think so.
And frankly, I don’t think the citizens of California deserve to continue paying for this man’s existence while he continues to gain fame and make money off his notoriety.
This has nothing to do with the ongoing argument over whether the death sentence is just or right. It was and is the law of the land. A murderer was convicted under that law and sentenced to die for his crimes. He’s had 26 years to work on paying society for his deeds, and in a small way has done some of that. The appeals process has been exhausted and the sentence has not been reversed. It’s time to carry out the sentence.
End the spectacle – remove this latest excuse for leftwing hollyweird bandwagoners and the http://www.finalcall.com/ fringe http://www.tookie.com/ oddballs to make the evening news. Carry out the execution of Stanley Williams and be done with it.
Found this, thought it very appropriate.

"Standing outside the walls of San Quentin prison, the rapper Snoop Dogg urged California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant clemency to convicted murderer Stan “Tookie” Williams. Williams, the co founder of the notorious street gang the Crips, was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1979 slayings of Albert Owens, Yen-I Yang, his wife, Tsai-Shai Chen Yang, and their daughter, Yu-Chin Yang Lin. Barring intervention by the governor, he will die by lethal injection on December 13. Speaking before a thousand young people and supporters, Snoop lectured the governor: "Stanley `Tookie’ Williams is not just a regular old guy, he’s an inspirator…His voice needs to be heard."
Snoop, Mike Farrell, Danny Glover, Jamie Foxx and the other celebrity voices now raised in support of Williams offer a clear picture of the distorted moral vision of the Hollywood left. It is a vision that finds virtue contemptible and props up homicidal maniacs who write bad children’s books as role models for the masses.
The argument for commutation of Tookie’s sentence centers on all the good work he has done since going to prison. The series of children’s books he has written and his work to stop gang violence is proof of his redemption. His death, they say, will only serve to rob those youth currently in gangs or considering joining gangs, of hope. Witness that his supporters do not claim that Tookie is innocent of his crimes. They are not seeking that Williams be released, only that his sentence be commuted. Williams, however, has never admitted guilt. That little inconsistency suggests the great “inspirator” is not only an unrepentant murderer, but a liar as well.
The portrayal of Williams as some pied piper of peace for the gang community also holds very little water. A quick review of Book Scan shows the Tookie series of books have hardly been blockbusters. His top seller, “Gangs and Violence” has sold 330 books. Another book “Gangs and Wanting to Belong” sold exactly two copies. No one is reading his books, least of all his two sons, one of whom is serving time in San Quentin. The other was just arrested on charges of aggravated rape. Poor book sales are not reason to send someone to the execution chamber, but then Williams was not convicted of lackluster book sales. He was found guilty of shooting four innocent people in cold blood, a fact his supporters continue to forget.
Here again, wealthy celebrities are telling hard working, law-abiding citizens that the example offered by them is inadequate to save their communities; the models of competence, creativity and virtue that are alive in these neighborhoods is simply insufficient. No matter that hundreds of young people find the strength of character – the hope — to resist the gang life. No matter that many of the stars have themselves found the strength to rise out of the tough streets. All that means nothing as compared to the words and example of Tookie Williams.
On Sunday November 13, one week before the “Save Tookie” rally at San Quentin, fourteen-year old William Cox and a friend were attending a neighborhood carnival when they were gunned down by a man who mistook them for rival gang members. Cox, who was not in a gang, was struck in the chest and died at the scene. That is the evil wrought by Stanley Williams!
Of course Snoop and Danny Glover did not hold a rally for William Cox. His death went unnoticed by the Hollywood commissars of compassion. They were too busy trying to save the life of a cold-blooded killer to notice one more young life snuffed out by gang violence. That tells you all you need to know about the corrupt vision the Hollywood left has for America."
thank you for your entry,it’s very great
