Tookie Williams: Killer

A man who ruthlessly murdered four innocent people twenty six years ago, and who has not expressed any feelings of remorse or even acknowledged his crimes should not be granted clemency. Period.

As for his miraculous conversion to the light, no way that Tookie would be writing childrens' books if his ass was not seated on death row. He organized one of the most deadly gangs ever seen in the United States, and would still be at the helm if not for his imprisonment. Nothing he can do can change the suffering he caused to countless grieving mothers and fathers whose sons and daughters have be taken from them.

As for his nomination for the Nobel Peace prize, what a joke. There are countless men and women who do more to benefit society than Tookie ever has or will, and somehow this killer gets more recognition? What a slap in the face. The founder of the Crips, responsible for untold killings, one of the principal reasons for groups such as anti-gang groups like Mothers on the March (created after Tookie's gang shot a 13 year old girl 15 times).

You reap what you sow.
