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 |

Can you learn from something you're killed over?

^ just because a movie says frodo threw the ring into mount doom doens't mean it's true.
how do you know he was afraid of death? the great tookie, co-founder of the crips, afraid of something as petty as death? no, i think you're projecting your fear of death onto others. QUOTE(disco infiltrator @ Dec 14 2005, 4:48 PM) no, but others may learn from example. |

For one, have you ever heard of fiction and non fiction? Secondly, can you tell the difference between the two? And I never said that Tookie himself was afraid of death. You're turning my words around. |
