Nice smackdown

Reading this morning about the post-Tookie Williams posturing and came across a nice smackdown administered by Baldilocks to a fuzzy-thinking young commenter on her blog. Read it all...it details a lot of what's wrong with society's differing views of its component people.

My short and sweet take..."Tookie" is a murdering hood who got caught. The people of California decided they want to have the death penalty available when they voted to reinstate it in 1977; Tookie committed some murders after its reinstatement and became eligible. Bye, bye Tookie. It's too bad justice couldn't have been more timely and no amount of mythical jailhouse conversion hijinks should excuse his crimes.

I'm with Willie Nelson and Toby Keith on this one..."Round up all of those bad boys, hang 'em high in the street. For all the people to see."
