I agree childrens books and anti gang "education" isnt the most effective, but why do u wanna see him DEAD if you don't know him or any of his victims?

Because I think people who kill innocent human beings should face justice. And I am disgusted how people rally around and celebrate a cold blooded killer like this. Not only is he directly responsible for the deaths of 4 innocent people, but he is indirectly responsible for thousands of people who have died as a result of gang violence.
If this guy doesn't deserve to die then who does?
J Bananas:
the ACLU

i don't believe he should be put to death, it's obvious, from what i've seen at least, that he's been rehabilitated. Putting him to death would do nothing but fuck up the justice system, it'd be sending the wrong message. however i'm NOT saying that we should not have a death penalty, i think the death penalty should be reserved for those crazy dude who commit numerous murders and are PROUD of it, i've heard stories from death row about dudes who sit there and say shit "i'm proud i killed a mother and her child, and if i'm ever released or escaped i'd kill YOUR wife and kids" those guys should be "put to sleep". but i don't think Tookie is in that extreme of a circumstance, grant him clemecy and let him do more possitive things behind the bars that he earned to be behind.

How is he rehabilitated when he wont even accept admit that he was the killer and express remorse? How is he rehabilitated when he won't act as an informant and work with police to take down other gang members?
Don't fall for the act, man.
Javier:
I'm against the death penalty, but that's the only reason I believe he shouldnt be executed.
