First of all, to his family, and all those people who were protesting the execution, I'm sorry your "Tookie" did what he did that lead to his death.
I feel bad for the pain, that he brought to you when he callously committed his murders, one of which, he laughed after, then described how his victim gurgled as he died. He wasn't a very nice person to cause you all so much grief. Shame on him!
I don't, however, feel bad that those people that he murdered have had their justice. I don't feel bad that this man died. I feel bad that he was stupid and mean enough to make the choices that lead to his demise. But don't get me wrong, I don't feel bad for him.. I feel bad for his victims, that he was stupid and mean enough to do what he did to lead to his death.
What seems to be forgotten here, isn't the families he destroyed, every day those people are remembered by those who knew and loved them - what's forgotten by the protesters seems to be the fact that this man committed a crime which lead to his own death.
If he wanted to kill someone.. why didn't he do it in one of those states that don't have the death penalty? They could have kept him alive, comfy and cozy for another 20, maybe 30 years. He didn't.. so he chose the end he got by doing what he did where he did it.
Tookie Williams wasn't murdered today. The fool killed himself. It just took him over 26 years to die.
