Tookie

There's roughly 24 hours left.

I'm not a big fan of this whole hoopla, but I feel like I want to bitch slap most of the people involved in this issue.

I'm not denying that Mr. Williams has done some great work while in prison, but it doesn't give him special treatment just because Jamie Foxx happened to him.

I have faith in the legal system. I need it to do the right things. If the original judge ruled that this should be so, and that the appeals of 20 some odd years have not gone through, and that the California Supreme Court has rejected to hear a last minute petition last night, then I don't see a reason for Arnold to doubt the system and grant clemency.

People, this is not a popularity contest. Try to look at the facts, instead of following Snoop on something you don't understand.

As for Tookie himself, I would recommend him to stop people from trying to save his life. If the motivation of all those children's books were to actually deter children from violence, then he'll need to die. The children needs to know there are consequences in their actions. They need to know if they take another person's life and create a gang that is responsible for thousands of lives lost, then the legal system will come down on you like a ton of bricks. They don't need to be able to say they can get away with it because Tookie did.

That is my two cents.
