A Nation's Reaction To The Death Of Tookie Williams
I think I have come to believe that Stanley "Tookie" Williams shouldn't have been executed. After seeing the reaction of the American and European people I think that it just wasn't fair that someone was killed just because they did something wrong. All people on this earth have a right to live. Many people think what happened this morning was barbaric and cruel; I think I have come to believe this too. I was surprised how many people from other countries were against this and how even Governor Schwarzenegger own native country his name removed from a sports stadium in his hometown. At the Vatican it seems that the pope disagreed with the Governor over the death, too."Even a criminal is worthy of respect because he is a human being. The death penalty is a negation of human dignity." - Cardinal Renato Martino

Just so you know I didn't say to let him out of jail. Heck no! they should have kept him in. I just disagree with the execution.
FYI: The link you gave says ALLEGED.

Just so you know I never said that Arnold was wrong, ok. I was just surprised that they took his name off.

I just want to say that I think you are going a little to far with this. I just want to post my view on this desicion.
1. I DO NOT think they should have let him out of jail.
2. I don't think that Arnold should have made a different desicion because he had to go with the law (which I am proud of him for because I don't really like him).
3. I just think that all men deserve to live no matter what they do.
4. This is my last comment. LOL
