re: Hey, Tom.... wake up!

There are indeed a few consistent opponents of the death penalty that are against ANY execution, including Tookie, the two men sentenced for killing Byrd, and some equally foul criminals. I looked some of them up.

I'm just saying that I would bet that all these Hollywood stars, musicians, and some of the others climibing on to the Tookie bandwagon will be nowhere to be seen for the other executions.

Innocent people may have been executed wrongly. But then you would have to balance that against those innocents who have died because someone who might have gotten the death penalty fifty years ago was let loose on society again. I'm getting sick of hearing about children's corpses being found after being murdered by a "convicted sex offender."

If the death penalty is abolished, there had damn well better be a "life without parole" that actually means it.
