As usual, the Americans have it all wrong. No surprise I guess, since they put that dimwit asshole Dubya in the White House and Conan the Barbarian in charge of California.
It looks like Tookie Williams will die at midnight pacific time.
And despite the fact that he was convicted of murder four times over and co-founded one of the worst LA gangs, his execution is so wrong I find it more disgusting than contemplating his crimes and the horror of the families affected.
Jesse Jackson says he's reformed, Schwarzenegger says that's doubtful since he's apparently never apologized. Excuse me, but aren't they doing exactly what this Williams guy has been convicted of doing, that being deciding whether someone else deserves to die?
I'm not saying they should let him loose or anything, the legal system, faulty as it is in the States, did find him guilty, but why is it okay for "the state" to decide who should live or die, but not the individual?
And what's even more disgusting is that in making his decision, you can bet that Schwarzenegger was thinking about how many electoral votes Texas and Virginia have.
What makes "the Terminator" any better than Iraqi hostage takers, playing with peoples' lives like this?
