Tookie Williams denied clemency

[Alex]

Actually, it wasn't so much America as Georgia.



Like I said, I support the death penalty in theory but not in practice. It has nothing to do with revenge or closure or comfort. I just think there are acts that are so heinous that removal from the human race is the appropriate response.

But I have no problem with the many people who think otherwise.

In reality I don't think the death penalty is a sentence that can be consistently and accurately applied and therefore it is like using toothpaste as lube, it works in theory but not so much in practice.

Nothing I've seen indicates that Williams deserves clemency for the facts of this individual. That said, I'd applaud long and loud if the governor pulled an Illionois and commuted ALL the death penalty sentences.
