EXECUTING TOOKIE WILLIAMS IS NOT GOING TO BRING BACK THE 4 PEOPLE HE WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING. SO HE DIES AT MIDNIGHT AND THEN WHAT? THAT DOESN’T MAKE US ANY BETTER THAN THE “BAD GUYS”. IT CERTAINLY WON’T HEAL ANY WOUNDS.
I GUESS THIS MEANS “IN GOD WE TRUST” ARE JUST WORDS WITHOUT ACTION. AT LEAST WILLIAMS HAS BEEN REFORMED AND IS DOING SOME GOOD. THAT’S BETTER THAN THOSE WHO SIT IN JAIL WHEELING AND DEALING WITH OUTSIDE CONTACTS, DURING THEIR LONG TERM OR LIFE SENTENCES!
“IF EXECUTION DOESN’T RESULT IN BRINGING THE VICTIM BACK, THERE’S NOTHING TO BE GAINED ACCEPT REVENGE”. SOME WILL SAY IT BRINGS CLOSURE AND PEACE OF MINE BUT ASK YOURSELF ABOUT THE PRISON SYSTEM AND IT’S INTENT. IS IT REVENGE OR REFORM OR A LITTLE OF BOTH? PRISONER’S RIGHTS IS ANOTHER ISSUE. WHY BOTHER?
THIS PROBABLY WON’T CHANGE ANYONE’S MIND, HOWEVER IT SHOULD GIVE YOU SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT. I’M NOT A BLEEDING HEART AND I DO BELIEVE IN JUSTICE. THEY PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING BACK IN 1979 WHEN IT ALL HAPPENED AND BEFORE WE KNEW WHAT A DESCENT PERSON WILLIAMS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE IN THE END. IT’S 2009, 30 YEARS AFTER HIS CONVICTION — SEEMS CRAZY TO EXECUTE HIM NOW! I’M JUST SAYING!
IF GOD WAS TESTING US, WE FAILED MISERABLY!
