This post seems to be all over the place.
But back the origin of this post.
Essentialy my point is the concept of death row is fundamentally flawed. You let someone live in prison for 20 some odd years only to execute them after. He cannot excuse those crimes; however, if he was kept in prison he can still contribute to society as he previously had.

fair enough.
but please tell me how you propose to deal with the fact that due to his selfishness the world lost 88 years of collective human time where great things could have been done (22 years so far times 4 murder victims)
how about the thousands of years of collective time that the neighbourhoods terrorized by crips have lost to better themselves and grow as a society? There are entire neighbourhoods that are kept in poverty and fear because a few individuals decided that they want to be in a gang...

Like I said I cannot nor can anyone excuse his behavior but you cannot blame HIM SOLEY. It was not a one man operation.
He's been nominated for a noble peace prize. That does not mean anything to you?

no, it doesnt mean much. all that means is that some activist group had leverage with some organization that could forward a nomination.
if he won a nobel peace prize, then that would be a valid recognition.

Look at it this way. How many prisoners are actually nominated for a nobel peace prize.

I think there is some racism too. They never nominate brown, white, or asian guys in prison.

Has anyone seen the movie about him? It's called 'Redemption,' Jamie Fox plays Stan Tookie Williams. It is a good movie if u want to understand more about what he was like, or how the crips and bloods started... and all that jazz.
RIP Stan!
RIP Stan!

Uh, government website it's not hard to. The difference is blacks commit more VISIBLE crimes. Where did I say that Stan is being executed because he's black? Don't assume ****. Whether Stan was black or white, his execution was arbitrary.
