Efectivamente, mataron a Tookie

Al margen de las opiniones y el aprovechamiento de ágrafos y pesaditos como Sean Penn, nadie merece ser ejecutado a sangre fria. Arnold va a perder mucha audiencia. Vean lo siguiente:
Tookie Williams, co-founder of the Crips street gang, and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and Nobel Prize for literature for his efforts to stop gang violence and his children books, was killed by lethal injection by the State of California.
"Tonight is planned, efficient, calculated, antiseptic, cold-blooded murder" said Joan Baez, the folk singer who sang "Sing Low Sweet Chariot" to a group of Tookie supporters outside San Quentin prison.
Tookie is the perfect example of what it means to turn your life around, dedicating his life to diverting children from gangs and stopping gang violence. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger saw "no reason" to stop Tookie's execution.
Tookie's death strikes a blow to everyone who believes in the capacity of human beings to change, and the importance of enlisting those who have been there in the fight against gang violence. In Europe, political figures and the Vatican denounced the decision. In Schwarzenegger's Austrian hometown of Graz, Green Party leaders said they would petition to remove his name from a sports stadium and a Christian group went further suggesting the stadium be renamed "Stanley Tookie Williams Stadium."
In an interview with the New York Times, Tookie said "The longer I sit in this animalistic cage, the more human I become. I’ve learned not to allow the negative ambience to control me. I’ve risen above all of that, like a phoenix, a black phoenix."
