As a Former SLOB "Derogiatory Term For BLOOD For those of you who Don't Know. I'm Pouring Out Some Liquor for Stanley TOOKIE Williams Former CRAB " Derogiatory Term for CRIP For those of you who Don't Know. People Can Change for the Better! Given A Chance to change and become productive members of society or at least NOT MENACES 2 SOCIETY....... PEACE OUT MY N*gg@h! See you at the Crossroads!

 

from what I have read, I guess he did do alot in terms of reform , especially through his writings, but..........
can you ever make up for murder? food for thought.............

 

I thought civilization really meant civil. WTF? If we're not at war, why are we killing people regardless? Who here without sin, cast the first stone. We're all here quiet waiting.....

 

Are you African American? Just curious.

 

take a life loose a life.... take 4 lives..... hmmmmmm?

 

an eye for an eye...

but what about a rape for a rape...

oh and what about those 11 guys on illinois death row that were reversed by dna testing...shouldnt ev case be like this...just my .02

 

R.I.P. Tookie...... LIFE GOES ON....

 

O please look at what he did to those poor people.

Not for tookie, though.

 

Seriously! Do you think he was very civil when he killed those people? And do you think he would've changed his ways if he had not been caught, convicted and sentenced? I'm quite sure he would've continued thuggin, killin and being a menace 2 society. It's not easy for a gang member to leave the gang. Think how hard it would be if you were one of the founders of the gang.

Late.

 

I think that comes free with most hard time prison sentence.

 

although I am not religious, where ever Tookie might be, I am sure he will find peace. is it the idyllic peace that we envision. probably not. It's more than likely the peace that he deserves.

i will wish for Tookie the peace he deserves. no more, no less. (i will not waste my hard earned money to pour a drink for him though. For me, pouring a drink for someone who has passed is the same as bestowing an honor upon that person. Only those that have proven to be a great friend, a positive contributor to society, and (notice I used the word And not OR) someone who lives in my mind as a positive deserves that honor.)

In this case, the peace he deserves may mean he is constantly face down with a shotgun in his back or maybe sitting on a sofa with a shotgun in his face.

 

Nothing can atone for what he did but killing him didn't do anything except make a bad situation worse.

I think it would be tougher to sit behind bars the rest of your life than to be painlessly put to sleep via injection.

The death penalty doesn't do ANYTHING towards making people stop killing each other. It's useless. The only ones who find any worth in the death penalty are the lawyers who get to bill to these cases for years and years. I'm sure the state spent millions of dollars on defense attorney's and prosecutors just to try his cases all the way to the Supreme Court. Every little nuance of his case has been ceaselessly debated and argued by these hired guns just to get new trials. The hell with it. Find him guilty of murder and let 'em rot in prison without parole. The end.


My biggest problem with this case isn't just the appeals system. It's also the fact that he killed those people over 20 years ago! Essentially you're not killing the same person anymore. Over a 20 year period everyone changes. I'm not advocating letting him go - not by a long shot. I'm saying now that he has the eyes of the world on him for trying to do something positive the state would have reaped more benefit from letting him spend his life in jail trying to do positive things than they will ever get from killing him.

Like I said he'll never be able to make up for what he did but I believe he should have spent the rest of his life trying...
