Think how much the taxpayers will save now that he is gone. And now we don't have to suffer through the hero worship that Hollywood poured on the gangsta. It is finally over!
Personally, I think we should throw out the death penalty and return to the concept of a lifetime of shackled hard labor.
Tookie could have broken a lot of rocks for the CA road department.
Take all death row inmates, commute their sentances to life of hard labor, and then put them to work in Alaska digging a tunnel (by hand) from Alaska to Siberia.
The Russians could have a similar prisoner work-camp on their side of the Strait so the job could get done in half the time.
There are other places that could use such tunnels. What about putting them to work in coal mines? Give them a choice: Immediate execution of death sentance or life of hard labor. Their choice.
Deathrow inmates have absolutely no value to society, so give them value by puting their anger to good use breaking rocks...
