Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
There is already a Tookie thread but I am aghast by the slanted coverage of the typical left wing major media outlets.
All you hear is about Tookie, his supporters, what he's doing now, what he founded, what books he wrote, etc etc etc I have not heard A SINGLE VICTIM'S NAME. Has anyone heard any media outlet that listed the victim's names? This execution tonight is about the victims. Tonight is for them, it's not about "Tookie"

[/ QUOTE ] No way in the US system because the inmates have too many rights to use the physical harshness that would be necessary to maintain order and discipline conducive to reform. Instead a prison is just a huge cage with a bunch of animals who just reinforce each other's predispositions and prey upon the weakest.

You had the opportunity and instead tried to make politics of it.

Re: Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
I've seen the mother of one of the vics. She wants justice/revenge. Not a particularly articulate lady. Maybe that's why you haven't seen her much.
Don't know about the other families. Like you say, none have, to my knowledge, been on camera. Maybe that's their wish. Not the bias you cite.

Most of the stories I've seen today mention Arnold Schwarzenegger. Must be right wing bias.

Re: Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
The victims are dead, so how isthis execution going to help them at all? The death penelty is a drain on society and only helps those seeking revenge.
Revenge is not justice. Justice is letting murderers rot in prision rof the rest of their lives.
