Governor Schwarzenegger rejects all of the pleas to go easy on a terrorist:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today rejected clemency for Stanley Tookie Williams, convicted murderer and one of the founders of the Crips.Thank you, Governor. Now we'll see whether the idea--planted by Big Media--that blacks will riot over anything, even over the execution of one who made some of their neighborhoods a warzone, is a true one.The decision was announced moments after a federal appeals court in San Francisco turned down Williams's request for a stay of execution.
I say no.
(Thanks to Diane)

I wonder what he'll wear to his execution?
As I pointed out in my blog, I've never seen any pictures of him wearing anything but blue, the Crips colors.

"Now we'll see whether the idea--planted by Big Media--that blacks will riot over anything, even over the execution of one who made some of their neighborhoods a warzone, is a true one."
I read recently that in the last 25 years, gang violence has killed 10,000 people in the LA area. Williams bears a good deal of that blame. How anyone could defend the guy is beyond me.

I'm glad that he is still the Governator, taking no crap from the hippies and occasionally breaking them in half over his knee when he has to.

"Big media"?
Does that include Fox News and punks like Shawn Hannity?

Darkstar: It does indeed.

I would be willing to grant clemency for this prisoner had he granted clemency himself, prior to shooting.
He failed to do so.
So, too, do I.
BTW, DarkStar, the proper spelling for the man is "Sean" rather than "Shawn."

Funny, I don't see "Skinner" posting his wit about the four people murdered by Tookie.
I supposed they're not as valuable to him. They were, after all, merely innnocent.

I suppose the "Reverand" Jesse Jackson will be at the Williams execution, spewing his usual racial hatred about how "whitey" is totally to blame for this man's actions, thus Williams should be spared.

I guess that since three of the four people Mr. Williams was convicted of murdering were asian, he should be let out eh?
What ever became of liberty and justice for ALL Americans?
