Arnold Lies, Tookie Dies Last May, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger changed the Department of Corrections to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a renaming many believed signaled a shift of the state from exclusively punishing criminals to a belief that with help, prisoners could turn their lives around. Last night, Schwarzenegger refused to stop the execution of a man who, while locked up, went from a gang leader to a prominent crusader against guns, drugs and violence. It's hard to imagine a better exam...

Execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams Stanley “Tookie” Williams, co-founder of the Crip street gang in Los Angeles, was executed in San Quentin Prison on December 13 just after midnight.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger coldly and callously refused to grant him clemency, saying that “the facts do not justify overturning the court decision.” Even though Tookie Williams had changed and became a very outspoken advocate against gang violence and for peace. They showed him no mercy. But it is deeper than this. In a highly...

These campaigns represent an important contribution to the global nuclear abolition movement, which historian Lawrence Wittner has described as “the largest...

AB1121-AB1121-AB1121! ("California Moratorium on Execution Act") "Perhaps there was a time when Schwarzenegger might have at least delayed the death of Stanley Tookie Williams until the California Assembly could consider the merits of AB1121, which would impose a moratorium on capital punishment while a commission assesses whether its application in this state is "fair, just and accurate." The first hearing on that bill, authored by Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood, is Jan. 10 -- one week before the next scheduled execution in Calif...

Once weak, always weak? It appears that Tookie William's appeal for clemency could have been approved had he demonstrated greater remorse. If such a grave decision could be swayed by subjective displays of regret, then doesn't that mean the state's ethical foundations for killing one of its own citizens are more or less arbitrary?...
