California Executes Stanley Tookie Williams
California executed gang leader and murderer Stanley Tookie Williams, early this morning.
Critics say, his life should have been spared, since he reformed and had written several "anti gang" children's books in prison.
These same critics, seem to ignore the fact that Williams was convicted in 1981 of killing Albert Owens as he lay face down on the floor of a 7-Eleven convenience store in a $120 robbery. Two weeks later, Williams shot dead an elderly Taiwanese immigrant couple running a motel, as well as their visiting daughter.
What more of a message can there be than saying "You kill someone ... you will end up like me." Seems like a most fitting final chapter to the Tookie Williams story.
