Terminated
One of the most vicious, evil men in America breathed his last at 12:01 AM.
Forget that bogus crap about Tookie Williams having been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize - damned near anybody can make such a nomination. He was a vicious mulitiple murderer whose street gang, the Crips, was responsible for uncountable thousands of murders and untold misery in black neighborhoods.
As death penalty opponent Ed Morrisey so eloquently phrases it,"the only redemption can be found in the next life, not here -- and certainly co-authoring a few "Just Say No To Gangs" kids' books weighs pretty lightly against the maelstrom of destruction for which Tookie is responsible."
Or, as Baldilocks so eloquently phrases it: "Leaving aside those who oppose the death penalty for moral/religious reasons, few of you have seemed motivated to move into my South Central LA neighborhood to see what “Tookie” and his Crip co-founder Raymond Lee Washington (who’s burning in Hell right now) have wrought for the last thirty-odd years. And I know that you won’t be choosing to live here anytime soon. That’s understandable; however, don’t tell me that we should coddle these TERRORISTS like “Tookie” and those he created if you don’t have to put up with them. (Okay, you can tell me, but you can expect a barely polite response and that’s if I’m feeling generous.)
Secondly—and this is especially for people like Jeremy: black people are thinking, functioning humans who, when adult and without some actual mental deficiency that they can’t control, are just as responsible for their actions as are members of any other race of people. We’re not murderers by nature (that is, any more than any other set of humans are). Therefore, we don’t need a separate, lower standard of behavior in any area, whether it’s education, employment or criminal justice.
When black people do well, they deserve recognition; when they do wrong, they deserve the consequences—no more or no less than any other."
I know this, if I was in any kind of trouble, I don't think I would want Snoop Doggy Dogg as my advocate.
