Govenator kills Tookie 12.13.05

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to block the execution of Stanley Tookie Williams, rejecting the notion that the founder of the murderous Crips gang had atoned for his crimes and found redemption on death row. With the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting his final appeal, Williams, 51, was set to die by injection at San Quentin Prison early Tuesday for murdering four people during two 1979 holdups.

Williams' case became one of the nation's biggest death-row cause celebres in decades. It set off a nationwide debate over the possibility of redemption on death row, with Hollywood stars and capital punishment foes arguing that Williams had made amends by writing children's books about the dangers of gangs.

But Schwarzenegger suggested Monday that Williams' supposed change of heart was not genuine, noting that the inmate had not owned up to his crimes or shown any real remorse for the countless killings committed by the Crips.

"Is Williams' redemption complete and sincere, or is it just a hollow promise?" Schwarzenegger wrote less than 12 hours before the execution. "Without an apology and atonement for these senseless and brutal killings, there can be no redemption."

Schwarzenegger of course left all this to his legal staff to write and didnt have the sense to go to SQ and ask Mr Williams himself, duh, maybe it was all those years of ROIDS Arnie took clouding his judgement, serves him right after LOSING all the ballot initiatives in november, if everyone WRITES in TOOKIE WILLIAMS name for Gov. in ARNIES SPOT NEXT NOVEMBER...

And people thought i was nuts for voting for GARY COLMAN....
