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 |

QUOTE life in prision is very cushy. if i'm ever homeless and know i can't get death row, i'll rob a bank. get away- you're rich. get caught- free hotel forever. don't have to work if you're a murderer, cus they won't trust you with tools. sounds like a nice retirement plan for gang members. says the guy that has no idea what so ever what prison is like... |
