Reply #32: You arent against the DP if you want Tookie to die.

[K-W]

Its really just that simple.

Yes, I think the DP should be abolished and all sentences commuted. To life.

Unless its Tookie Williams, in which case you want him to die.

But that is not the reality we are living under.

The reality is that one persons sentence could be commuted to life, and yet you oppose that, making it rather hard for me to believe that you think all DP should be commuted.

I also believe in following the law as it is even if you don't agree with it.

Clemency is perfectly legal, so what are you talking about?

Williams was properly convicted and sentenced to death, so die he should.

If you think this, you are pro-death penalty.

And again, clemency is perfectly legal and would legally overide the conviction. Clemency isnt disobeying the law.

There are plenty of other prisoners on death row who would make much better examples of condemned people who don't deserve to die.

And if it were their clemency we were discussing that would be relevant.

He was convicted of four brutal murders, and I believe those convictions are correct.

Right, but if you opposed the death penalty, you wouldnt want him to die from those convictions.

I think MOST gang members are very stupid.

Then you obviously dont know much about gangs.

Williams is very intelligent, very crafty, and he's pulled the wool over a lot of peoples' eyes.

Since everyone supporting clemency knows full well that he is a murderer, what are you talking about? He isnt decieving anyone, he is exactly who he says he is.
