He influences a lot of people.
if there are riots it will show he still influences people to act NEGATIVELY.

from a forum member i respect, that's the lamest thing i've heard.

It is pretty much true. Where are the statements from Tookie saying: "No matter what happens lets have peace." Nope, not from that guy, he was never reformed -- he just wanted out of jail.

Clemency just saves him death, he doesnt get released...

Executing Tookie Williams is not punishment or revenge. It's justice.

Who is to decide what is just?

Tookie was not going for clemency from day one. He was trying to get a new trial; he was trying to get his conviction overturned. He wanted OUT OF JAIL, that was what he desired. Clemency was just a last-ditch chance to save his life. His ultimate goal was to be out of jail .

could you explain that comment?

yeah. i typically respect what you've got to say. the statement that you made that tookie is only a negative influence was a ridiculous/ignorant statement. i kinda expected better.

oh, ok... so you know the guy? you hang out with him in his cell? you know his soul?

please.

and everyone knows he's never going to get out of jail... he wasn't trying to get out. he was just trying not to get executed.

whether he found God or was reformed or whatever is not exactly up to us to judge. it was up to those who denied him.... and in a few hours, it will be up to God.

shame.

bolded the only right thing you have said so far.

If he has reformed it is up to God. so why not send him there as fast as we can so he can find out if God agrees?

then what would you call it? rioting NEVER is a positive.

if they go out and use the excuse of his death to cause destruction and steal (from there community which is stupid) then that shows he is still influencing them.

she said "still" as if all he does is influence people to act negatively even though after his alleged reformation, he's been promoting peace and anti-gang involvement.

Where is his appeal to the black community to accept his execution & better themselves rather than setting fire to their own fvcking community again?

Executing Tookie Williams is not punishment or revenge. It's justice.

Who is to decide what is just?
The DA, the jury, the judge, the appeals courts, the California Supreme Court, the governor of California, the United States Supreme Court. All have decided that this is just.

I dont think he should be executed, you think he should, 10,000 petitions dont think so, various members on this forums think he should be...

Who decides whos right or wrong?

This is my last comment on this tonight, as usual ATOT keeps distracting me from my hw.

The only concern Tookie ever had for the Black communtity, or any communtity at all, was the exploitation of it's members and society as a whole for his own gain. He is a useless POS that will fortunately have his day in real court in a few hours.
