1954-2005

Maggie says:
Stanley Tookie Williams was executed last night by the State of California. Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Terminator, indeed.

I can't think of much of anything to feel except absolutely terrible. Were Tookie's victims more honored through his own death than they were by his anti-gang work that actually prevented gang violence? In the wake of his nominations for a Nobel Peace Prize, Tookie's state-sanctioned murder only makes him a martyr. And us, murderers no better than him in his youth.

Look at those eyes. Just look at them.
