Well, well, well...

Yeah, seein' as this man has done so much in fighting gang violence in the past several years a reasonable man might stop and ask, "Hey, is this man a value to society?" That would be a reasonbale question...

But beyond the rersonablness of this man's life there are those who want revenge... The Bible teaches us that revenge is God's reponsibliity and not ours...

Here is a amn who is positively impacting more folks than possibly any elected official, yet their sins are glossed over, covered up or just denied and denied...

Do I condone what Tookie is convicted of doing? Heck no, I don't!!! But in these days and times when American needs so much more moral leadership, it is at least as criminal for the state to take the life of a man who has for so long spoken of non-violence... Much like Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy spoke of non-violence...

Yeah, Tookie is not being executed for the crimes that he was convicted of some quarter of a century ago... He is being executed because he stands for non-violence...
