On December 13th 2005, Stan Tookie Williams will be excuted.
QUOTE Stan was the co-founder in 1971 of the Los Angeles Crips gang. In 1981 he was convicted of murdering four people during two robberies and sentenced to death row at San Quentin State Prison. Stan deeply regrets his gang involvement but has always maintained his innocence of these crimes. Stanley "Tookie" Williams receives no money for having written the Tookie Speaks Out series and Life in Prison. He is donating proceeds to several non-profit organizations, including Mothers Against Gang Wars, located in South Central Los Angeles, California. All donations and grants given to The Institute For Prevention Of Youth Violence, a nonprofit entity, will go toward funding a diverse group of programs that will assist children in becoming responsible, successful and self-confident people. My question is - Should Governor Schwarzenegger grant him clemency? In what situation should the Governor grant clemency? ------------ If your interested, here's a site dedicated to saving Tookie. http://www.savetookie.org/index.html |

There are no definities in life...killing really shouldnt breed more killing. We dont know...but all i know is...tookie's clemency wasnt accepted for a reason, tookie is obviously supposed to be killed as everything happens for a reason..who knows maybe the afterlife has some positive use for tookie, or if you prefer he'll just rot in the ground. Its a "what if?" .What if and what if could be good and bad, but "what if" isnt going to happen, the death penalty is going to happen and whether people agree with it or not..thats whats going to happen. Guess it's gonna make sense later on. I just dont know, and the death penalty is just trivial to me, but theres nothing we can do about it. Tookie's fate has already caught up with him, and its his time to go.
