Reply #51: so, do all you "kill him" people just think the following are stupid? do

[nofurylike]

you believe that any of them would actually come out to support Stan without first doing plenty of checking of facts?!

that you, of course, know better than:

Desmond Tutu, Mario Cuomo, Alfre Woodard, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, Jesse Jackson, Bianca Jagger, Snoop Dogg (a fellow former Crip), Anjelica Huston, Tom Hayden, 100+ Nobel Laureates, peace & justice activists, the religious community, community activists, anti-gang activists...

these more than 200 "Educators for Tookie":

More than 200 educators have signed on to a letter urging California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant clemency to death row prisoner Stanley Tookie Williams. A delegation of signors will deliver the "Educators for Tookie" letter to Gov. Schwarzenegger's office in Sacramento on Wednesday, December 7, the day before Stanley Tookie Williams' clemency hearing. The delegation will include Professor Philip Gasper who initiated this effort and has nominated Stanley Tookie Williams for the Nobel Peace Prize.

(from their letter to the governor):

From the confines of his tiny nine-by-four-foot cell, Williams has written nine books for children, attempting to de-romanticize gangs, crime and prison. One of them, Life in Prison, has received two national book honors, including an award from the American Library Association. It has been used in schools, libraries, juvenile correctional facilities and prisons throughout the United States and, indeed, around the world. Mr. Williams has also recorded anti-gang public service announcements for radio that have aired on stations across the United States.

More than 70,000 people have sent emails to Mr. Williams’ web site, expressing appreciation for his work, with many saying they have opted not to join gangs or have withdrawn from gang membership as a result of reading his books or hearing his voice.

are you CAPABLE of being wrong?

rather, are you capable of even considering that you might be wrong?

if you are able to consider that, please at least try to look for why we all are trying so very hard to reach people, you, on this.


thank you
