The pro-Tookie vigil

I don’t really think anything I write would do the following photos (from a pro-Tookie Williams vigil on Dec. 12) justice. Methinks they speak for themselves.

(Thanks to FT for the heads up)

AM Update I: Patterico blogs about a LA Times article that talks about a California legislature proposal to postpone all executions in CA for years and notes an interesting tidbit in the the story about some comments made by someone who strongly opposes the death penalty based on, in part, the “graphic details” associated with putting someone to death. Consider that post a must-read.

AM Update II: John Hawkins at Right Wing News blogs about a post written by The Huffington Post’s RJ Eskow comparing the execution of Tookie Williams – to the Crucifixion. I kid you not. (Hat tip to Jim at bRight and Early)

Tommy,

Tookie did not get BBQ’d. He got peacefully put to sleep ala Dr. Kervorkian.

You wonder why you are lumped in with the tinfoil crazies, tommy? Because you think
and post just like them.

Tommy,

I would hope you would have realized that by saying BBQ’d to many you insinuated that Tookie died in the electric chair.

The subject of death by electric chair shows just how far the debate has come on the method of execution. When introduced, old sparky was the humane way to execute.

I wonder how the “never execute them” crowd would react to a Muslim prisoner sentenced to death requesting that the method be importing executioners from Saudi Arabia and doing a traditional according to the Koran beheading for a capital crime.

Every so often I like to throw out a comtemplative question. I like to see who thinks and who bloviates.

Someone’s head being cut off is not in complience with God’s law. Thou shall not kill. Doesn’t matter in which country your in. The Koran references the 10 Commandments just as the Bible and Torah do. The power to take a life was not granted to human beings by God. He did not say “thou shall not kill” except in the case of……… Peace

Bring back the gas chamber and make executions a Friday Night Special until Death Row is empty.
Charge admissions and get sponsors for the videos.

In my opinion, Zombie is a national treasure… Zombie’s pics of CAVE people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) are priceless.
