Hmmm...interesting. Three opinions from three non-Calis. What strikes me is locals who were born and raised in L.A. all say there'll be no riots.

What he turned into while in jail is a moot point. The man was convicted of killing 4 people he was sentanced to die the end. Just lok at this in reverse order, He does good trying to get kids to stay away from the gang life then kills 4 people should he be spared the chair? NO! Don't worry about the riots most of those idiots burn thier own neighborhoods. JMO

You have to remember that you are saying this as a rational member of society.

To the residents of some of LaLaLand, they feel disconnected from society, and Tookie is one of the many things that represents that separation. Burning their own neighborhood will mean it will be rebuilt using society's dollars, and it will 'send a message' to white America.

I am slipping the dock lines and sailing offshore (out of small arms range) tonight. It will be a nice night for a sail either way.

There's this quote on the radio issued by Rev. Jackson that says to the effect, "Tookie does not want any riots because that would ruin his legacy of non-violence." What horse*****.

I'm sure his murder victims families appreciate this legacy...

Hope you are right. Say, if you are anywhere close, why don't you go hang out in Tookie's old neighborhood tonight around midnight. It would be really cool to have a fellow Pelican present, so we can get a first hand account. It seems like most here don't trust the news, so having one of our own reporting his impressions might be helpfull.

And if you take Jeff advice, be sure to bring your 911.

24 years later, 7 court appearances, appeals on every level, all with the same result.

Guilty. Sentance? Death.

Anyone interested in stopping the execution because a 'surprise witness' has come forward? Didn't think so.

Traffic from San Francisco to San Quentin has been heavy all afternoon. Every nut in town trying to stop the execution. Should be a media frenzy.

the media is to blame for this whole thing. I hear more about the death penalty cases in Ca. than I do about the cases here at home. It seams to me if the press were to back off than the public would do the same.
What do I know I'm just a countryboy

I will be out there tonight. We are all hoping for a night of peace. With another double murder last night, we do not need any more. I will be leading a platoon of cops in the event of riots. For everyone's sake, I hope that the night is uneventful.

It is sad when law enforcement has to resort to this.
Good luck!
I wish you a safe night
