For what its worth.

Tonight, just after 12 a.m. "Tookie" Williams will be executed in California. There are two points of view surrounding this. View one is that he should not die, he has done more good than bad. View two is that he should die. The man gunned down four people in two different armed robberies in the early eightys. He has done a good thing while in prison, no doubt. HE KILLED FOUR PEOPLE. His work with anti-gang groups was a great thing. He must pay the penalty for what he did. The death penalty is not a punishment or a deterent, it is a consecuince. What he did was wrong and now he has to pay the price. Maybe it is the justice system's fault for letting him sit in prison for so long. We need quicker times between sentencing and execution. Those are my two cents. Have a great day everybody.
