Tookie goes Hollywood
by Joseph C. Phillips

Stephen Jones, author of Seven Secrets of How to Study, recently attended the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) conference in Boston, which boosted attendance of over 8,000 African American students. Sadly, no television reporters attended to tell about the good news.
"African Americans must start a revolution that will not be televised," Jones says.
Dr. Jones and many others agree that the media will only show up in the Black community, if there is a crime or an FBI investigation. "There were over 8,000 potential college graduates doing good things for their colleges and local community and it was not breaking news," Jones says.

Standing outside the walls of San Quentin prison, the rapper Snoop Dogg urged California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant clemency to convicted murderer Stan "Tookie" Williams. Williams, the co founder of the notorious street gang the Crips, was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1979 slayings of Albert Owens, Yen-I Yang, his wife, Tsai-Shai Chen Yang, and their daughter, Yu-Chin Yang Lin.

"Stanley `Tookie' Williams is not just a regular old guy, he's an inspirator. His voice needs to be heard." Snoop, Mike Farrell, Danny Glover, Jamie Foxx and the other celebrity voices now raised in support of Williams offer a clear picture of the distorted moral vision of the Hollywood left. It is a vision that finds virtue contemptible and props up homicidal maniacs who write bad children's books as role models for the masses.

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.

On Sunday Nov. 13, one week before the "Save Tookie" rally at San Quentin, 14-year-old William Cox and a friend were attending a neighborhood carnival when they were gunned down by a man who mistook them for rival gang members. Cox, who was not in a gang, was struck in the chest and died at the scene. That is the evil wrought by Stanley Williams!
Of course Snoop and Danny Glover did not hold a rally for William Cox. His death went unnoticed by the Hollywood commissars of compassion. They were too busy trying to save the life of a cold-blooded killer to notice one more young life snuffed out by gang violence. That tells you all you need to know about the corrupt vision the Hollywood left has for America.

Still has nothing to do with Iraq or your hatred for the president. And you're welcome to show where I gloated. I oppose the death penalty, Finn. Thanks for playing.FinnMacCool said:And why not?

galenrox said:But what difference does killing him make? Has he continued killing since he's been in prison? Do people still live in fear of him while he's been in prison?
The fact is in this particular case his execution has done more harm to this society than good, considering for the last several years he has been doing good, and now he's not.
I mean, what could possibly be more effective at reaching kids who're thinking of joining a gang than a man who very clearly has street credit and started one of the most notorious gangs coming out and saying that you need to put down the gun and pick up a book? But no, we don't consider the actual pragmatism behind the situation, we need revenge!
And by the way, mixedmedia mentioned that you saved a few tax pennies in executing him, you actually spent quite a few more dollars in having him executed, you would've saved quite a bit if you'd left him in jail for the rest of his life.

It looks like he skipped the "last meal".Loxd4 said:hey what was Stanley Williams last qoute and meal?
REPORTER: What have you thought about doing in your last 24 hours? Who do you want there? What about your last meal, Stanley?
STANLEY TOOKIE WILLIAMS: I accept no last meal. I don’t want anyone to be there. Who would I possibly want to see me die?
galenrox said:Oh yeah, those damn Californians, you know, wanting to take every last step to make sure that they don't allow the state to kill innocent civilians, oh those crazy bastards!
As pertaining to your question, I don't know, it is my opinion that that is between him and God, and if he has done enough, and was truely remorseful for what he did, he's in heaven right now, and if not, well, at least he's black and thus better suited for the climate (I'm KIDDING!!!)
But we need to face the situation pragmatically, not ideologically, and pragmatically, we have a major problem as a society, and he was helping in our attempts to solve that problem.

galenrox said:Right. Dude, you're a conservative, and thus you understand the importance of governing with logic, not emotion, so why in the hell would we ask the people who absolutely cannot think about this issue objectively to decide on that?
galenrox said:And he is incapable of participating in society, hmmm? Gosh, if there was only a place where you could put people outside of society, where they are held with other people deemed incapable of participating in society. Can you think of a place like that?
galenrox said:What are we, in fourth grade TO THE EXTREME? "You didn't say you're sorry, so we're gonna kill you!" As far as the gravity of his offenses, you don't have to convince me, we're in full agreement that his crimes are unforgivable, except between him and the Lord. What I'm saying is killing him is a waste of time, money, and other resources.
galenrox said:Also, by the same logic, many people will die because of people of your opinion. Because he was convincing some kids to stay out of gangs, and those efforts were quite abruptly halted, thus meaning because of this more kids will join gangs, and kill more people or get killed themselves.
:bravo: Good job!
galenrox said:But once again, at least we got to kill a guy, that's good, right?:roll:
galenrox said:I think you and I both know that the people who he murdered have no opinion on the matter, so your assumptions about the opinions of the dead are kind of ridiculous.
galenrox said:You know what would've assured closure quicker? Life in prison without possibility of parole. 4 consecutive life sentences, you know why that would work? Because they wouldn't have to keep worrying about the appeals, they wouldn't have to keep waiting for his execution. With 4 conseucutive life sentences, you're not getting out of jail, you're gonna be there until you die.
And he was in San Quinten, it's not like it's a little cushy resort.
galenrox said:Life in prison is justice, take away his life as he knows it. Killing him is just revenge for the blood thirsty.
