The portrayal of Williams as some pied piper of peace for the gang community also holds very little water. A quick review of Book Scan shows the Tookie series of books have hardly been blockbusters. His top seller, "Gangs and Violence" has sold 330 books. Another book "Gangs and Wanting to Belong" sold exactly two copies. No one is reading his books, least of all his two sons, one of whom is serving time in San Quentin. The other was just arrested on charges of aggravated rape. Poor book sales are not reason to send someone to the execution chamber, but then Williams was not convicted of lackluster book sales. He was found guilty of shooting four innocent people in cold blood, a fact his supporters continue to forget
being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize is nowhere nearly as significant as it sounds. Every year, many many candidates are supposed and nominated, a lot of whom are nuts, and it is this large list that is whittled down until a suitable group of people is (usually) arrived at. If you are famous and you are publically perceived to be doing some kind of good, you stand a very good chance of being nominated.
Kissenger and Arafat were both well-timed Nobel laureautes. And Gahndi never won.

Dear 5,
Tookie was nominated 5 times by the same person. A radical prof at a mostly Negro school. He was a promoter of Tookie and a jerk. Yes, it is very easy to be nominated. The press failed to mention that.
I just shat a 2' continuous turd. Is this unusual?

Sadly enough, this has some truth to it :/ >>4
I think Death penalty isn't a good thing, and he should have stayed in jail for life. He was doing some positive things. Arnold didn't have to just TERMINATE HIM. :/ wierd issue

I'm against death penalty, because criminals suffer less with it, and they ought to suffer the most.
I'd throw them into a dungeon where they would never see the light of the sun again, except when the daily 12 hours of forced jobs which they do in exchange for food require it.

Remember, Arnold didn't condemn him. A jury did that. Arnold was correct in not butting in.

He did nothing you couldn't train any other less dangerous Crip chimp to do. Death penalty was too good though, I agree with 13. Good plan, and give him one cornholing by a horse mrhands style for each murder too, separated by a year each, so he has something to look forwards to around the new year.
