Stanley "Tookie" Williams
How do you all feel about the calls for Clemency for Tookie Williams. If you don't know who he is, he's co-founder of the Crips. He's now on Death Row in California for murder. Now you have people like Snoop Dogg (former or current Crips member) and Jamie Foxx (Fox played him in an FX movie). Now I personally don't believe in the death penalty. However, I think that if that's the punishment that was handed out he should get executed. I understand that he has turned his life around but sometimes we must still pay for crimes that we committed in the past. I remember when Carla Faye Tucker was on Death Row in Texas for killing her boyfriend and his lover. She had found Jesus and people like Pat Robertson were asking for clemency. My thought on that is that if you've truly found Jesus then you know that death is not the end. She was eventually executed. So Tookie I'm sorry but you gotta take this one as a loss. Maybe your death will serve as further testament that being in a gang will only lead to death or jail.
