Reactions to the death of a killer

Tookie is dead. Arnie stood his ground. People are upset. At least one person is satisfied.

Europeans are obviously ticked about it because they're morally superior and believe everyone is able to redeem his or herself (nevermind that being in prison for two decades makes it difficult to commit more crime) and not have to pay the ultimate punishment for committing a crime. Some in Austria want to change the name of a stadium currently named after Schwarzenegger to the "Stanley Tookie Williams Stadium."

Jesse Jackson and Joan Baez (c'mon Joan...can't we all just admit the 60s are over?) joined protesters outside singing songs and calling for an end to the death penalty.

A Los Angeles shock-jock had his microphone broken when he asked Jesse Jackson to name Tookie's murder victims.

Lora Owens, mother of one of Tookie's victims, felt justice was done.

Justice has been served. "Eye for an eye..."

Justice WAS served. Writing kids books is hardly redemption for cold blooded murder.

Nice blog, by the way. I'll be back.
