What kind of protection can they offer him in San Quentin, anyway? Witness protection doesn't work that way.
And yeah, you're right he's dead anyway, but perhaps he'd prefer to exhaust his other options first (i.e. see if he can get clemency) before resorting to snitching.

It's not "resorting" it's doing what he can to clean up the streets. He's claimed many times that he is not afraid to die. If I were on death row and had info that could make a huge impact on cleaning the streets (if he has that info) then I would "snitch" in a heart beat. And they have special cells and could even relocate him. You know how many guys would like to get their hands on someone like Charles Manson? He's been protected.

The reason Tookie won't snitch is because he would lose his credibillity with the youth and wouldnt be able to broker peace treatys with the gangs.

Check out the discrepancy between the number of black people being executed for commiting a crime against a white person(s) and vice versa.
Fuck the death penalty! >:(

White people rarely kill black people.

If America was all Black and you were on trial with a Black Judge, a Black jury, because the black prosucutor got all white people kicked off of the jury panel, and the prosucutor was using racially charged language in your trial, and he promoted the fact that you are a part of some nazi hate group in the trial (just an example), and the person whos fingerprints are on the weapon used was lying and said you did it to save his own ass, but you are innocent. I think you would be a little more critical of the Justice system.
If they are punishing Tookie for starting the Crips, then they need to come right out and try and charge him for that and CUT THE BULLSHIT

--- Quote from: Mr. Brown on December 09, 2005, 05:27:59 PM ---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.

"wont accept admit that he was the killer"
Rehabilitate Bush.
