I was extremely anti-dp.
I still think there are big problems with the way the DP as it stands now. I would strongly support a moratorium on the DP so society can make sure it is used fairly and only in extreme heinous cases (child killers, serial killers, senior citizen killers, those who prey on the weak.)
It disgusts me that Tookie Williams is being presented as an oppressed victim, a peacemaker no less.
Why hasn't he 'snitched' (his word, which is very telling) on the Crips? If he truly felt remorse for his past, why hasn't he done all he could, including answering any and all questions no matter how insignificant.
Many many people suffer from prejudice, suffer from injustice, Tookie is not one of them. He and his supporters are wrapping themselves in their flag and in the process they belittle the suffering of the true oppressed.
