Tookie Williams was irritated that the execution took longer than he expected because of problems getting the needle into his arm.
Witnesses and prison officials said Williams appeared to grow impatient as prison staffers searched for several minutes for a vein in his muscular left arm.
“He did seemed frustrated that it didn’t go as quickly as he thought it might,” said San Quentin State Prison Warden Steven Ornoski.
Whining about several minutes?
Thanks to your lawyers, your liberal Hollywood friends, the tangled justice system, and meddling NGO’s, it took 24 years to get that needle into your arm, you murdering bastard. Twenty-six, if you count from the moment you killed those four people, and even longer than that if you go back to when you founded your gang of destruction.
What’s a few more minutes, Tookie?
The Gates Of Hell are always open, 24 by 7. Walk right in, they’ve been waiting for you a very long time.
There is none of this “finding a vein” nonsense with the execution by baseball bats.
I continue to support Human Pinatas. Let doctors swing, and whatever they knock out they get to use for research.
Hmm, I was just thinking what a waste it is to execute these people, but not use their organs. The method of execution prevents this. Now, if we had execution by surgery, we could take out the vital organs and then kill them. Better yet, we could take out their vital organs, and then have the doctors try to wake them up…
Brad,
If we removed all their vital organs and they were still able to wake them, they’d be Democrats.
Heehee.
Now now, not all of us are missing vital organs. I do agree that we’ve been very, very poorly represented, yet again, by the kooks attempting to defend this sick murderer. I for one am (relucantly) glad he’s gone. I believe strongly that taking a person’s life should never be done lightly or casually, as Tookie did, but in some cases it is justified. This was clearly one of them. To say otherwise is insane. It’s something I’ve complained about before.
This reminds me of one of my Dad’s favorite expressions when refering to a habitual whiner…. “He wouldn’t be happy if he was hung with a NEW rope.
Did you notice he wore his “Crips blues” to his date with the needle? Oh, yeah…real repentant.
Sorry to see poor tookie go,
I am all in favor of bringing back the puplic whipping post only now we would use barbed wire rope to beat him to death.
tickets at 50 cents a wack.
Okay, I’ve been arguing this back and forth with my boss for months now. Personally, I feel the best way to eliminate those on death row would be to utilize lethal natural resources. Like volcanos! There’s no cleanup & it gets the executioners into the great outdoors away from those dull dank quarters. Because let’s face it, we can’t have depressed executioners dragging their feet around the halls now can we? That, & it just might prove to be a useful deterrent. I mean really, who’d want to commit a violent crime because they desired to be dunked in molten rock?
Or on training missions for the military as dummy bombs on an aerial bombardment range? They’d leave a nice, easy to see red mark if dropped from a high enough altitude…might reduce defense spending too! (I’m sure those bombs must be expensive)
