Okay, that's not true. If you're one of those people who is just against the death penalty no matter what (like you'd spare Hitler's life if given the choice), then that's fine.

But the people who are arguing that Tookie has somehow been redeemed? What the hell are you people smoking?

In Thursday's filing, however, prosecutors noted that Williams had refused to cooperate with San Quentin state prison's "debriefing'' program, in which current and former gang members provide information about gang operations. In a "60 Minutes'' television interview last year, Williams said "debriefing'' was "a euphemistic term for snitching.'' - SF Gate

Not to mention the fact that this *saint* has never even admitted to his crimes. This whole thing is just ridiculous. If ANYONE deserves the death penalty, this man certainly does. Wow, he wrote a children's book. What does he want? A cookie? Those four people he killed are still dead and buried. The blood of the COUNTLESS victims of HIS gang (which he still refuses to "snitch" on, despite being oh so reformed and so sowwie for forming the naughty wittle gang) is on his hands and he deserves to be put to death not only for his crimes but as an example of what can happen to you if you do decide to join a gang and commit disgusting acts of random violence.

If the Governor decides to grant this guy clemency he can kiss an already uncertain re-election goodbye.
