sad day in california...

They don't even give people a chance to reform anymore. Is sending a crack addict to jail helping him? Or just hurting him more? Point made.

But he smoked crack and Cocaine is illegal! HE MUST BE PUNISHED SEVERELY, cause I mean... HE BROKE A LAW! :O

Same idea with mary jane.

Bottom line is we live under the oppression of a very, very fucked up government. Buut, I guess it could be worse.

If we keep allowing our "leaders" to promote fear in order to get them elected, and then demand and eye for eye , a tooth for a tooth, from those charged with crimes, we will one day be left with nothing but a bunch of blind toothless people in our country.
When a human being is strapped to a table and shot-up with poison, it isnt Saddam or Bin Laden we need to worry about. It' us that we need to worry about. We just need to look at one another.

There's a hole in Tookies arm where they claim justice can be found
A nobel peace prize winners ideas are forever silenced in the ground
Maybe it's those in charge who dont want peace and forgiveness among those in the population
Dont kill for me and expect me to be full of elation

Some good and some bad ideas floating through here.

It's a long-standing debate as to what the purpose of our legal system is. Should it seek justice, or should it seek to rehabilitate people so they can one day contribute to society again?

I am personally against the death penalty, but I do think whether or not you embrace it goes to whether or not you think the judicial system needs to seek justice, and then what exactly justice means. If you do think it's about justice, then what is the just response to murder? And if it's not about justice, then there is simply no leg to stand on for capital punishment.

Personally, I think it's not a good idea to try to convince people not to kill people by killing people ourselves. Idiotic, really.

lol everyone here getting worked up about tookie is just dumb...if u support him then u should be listening to him and hes saying that he doesnt want all the talking about him being executed and all the anger ect...and if ur against him the mans gonna be put to death how would u like to know the exact time and how u were gonna die? kinda scarey..well im netural i dont know if he did kill the ppl and if he did then i do think he deserves to die weither or not he wrote books and stuff he still killed those ppl. they cant read any of his books so ummm yeah. its like me smoking weed then writing anti weed books....doesnt make much sense...plus the crips didnt go away think of all the ppl that die daily or have died bc of him....idk what to think or say. whats a life in jail anyways..? behind bars eating shit food fights and gay shit happening all day? i think i rather be killed to..it is what it isthats all im saying so everyone needs to just shut up with the fighting and whinning either way....RIP tookie

Im not fussed

Killing someone instead of reforming them is a waste of human potential. One person achieves a lot in their lifetime.

Im indifferent. Part of me wants to forgive the guy the other part says remember this guy shot one of 4 guys in the back. I dont know what the solution is???????
