Adios Tookie.
This just in... (I've always wanted to say that) Arnold will not stay the execution of Tookie Williams.
Sorry Tookie, but there's no escaping your four murders (plus the robberies that led to the murders, his implication in several as yet unsolved murders, allegedly still participating in running the Crips from inside San Quentin, and refusing to cooperate and give up informaiton about current cases and suspects). But a couple kids books and Nobel Prize nominations should make up for that, right? Nope. Arnold, you did the right, the just thing. I'm sure it was a tough decision. UPDATE: Thought I'd link some of my previous thoughts on the Tookie execution here, here, here, and here are the most recent. UPDATE 2: The Pajama squad is on it too. Protein Wisdom, breaking Tookie. IMAO too. UPDATE 3: And if you're curious how long until the execution down to the second, Beautiful Atrocities has the Tookiemeter! |
