execution of Tookie Williams

No words. Read the eyewitness account:

Ok, I do have some words: for the way the debate was framed. He didn't "deserve" to die, because he had "redeemed" himself. The language of redemption and deservingness has no place in the battle against the death penalty. It reinforces the idea that execution should be decided on a case-by-case basis, by a racist and fundamentally flawed mockery of a judiciary system.
