I just want to take a minute to discuss the Tooky William’s case in California. Again, this opinion is coming from someone with no bias or political standings. Having listened to those that want to see him die for his crimes and those that want to see him live listen to both sides and listen to the implications involved here. We know he is responsible for the shotgun deaths of 4 people and that he co-founded the Crip’s a very violent gang. On the other hand we also know he has become an advocate against violent gangs, has written books promoting youth responsibility and accountability. He has also become a role model in prison and has had a movie produced about his life.
I have heard this opinion already but I will repeat that we are sending the dead wrong message if he is put to death. Yes, he did kill 4 people but he is responsible for helping thousands of American youth. Yes he should be held accountable and he is. I believe life in prison is called being held accountable. Under normal conditions I can agree that he should pay with his life but not in this case. If we were to go ahead and put him to death we would be sending the wrong message to all that commit violent crimes. Don’t try to improve yourself because we are going to kill you no matter how much you turn your life around and help society. There we go, Arnold refused clemency we were just told now we’ll see what happens as a result?
