RIP Tookie

I don't believe in killing others to prove that killing is wrong.
Wtf is that? Sure, the killer may have ruined the victim's family..but executing the killer will ruin his family too.
Is justice really served when you kill the killer? Can't you just sentence him to life...isn't that good enough? You can't just tell someone how much longer they have to live before you kill them. Well, you can..but that's...wrong.

What I really don't like is the process. It takes a long time to sentence someone to death. They executed Tookie...what..25 years after he commited the crime? 25 years is a longg time. He spent those 25 years in jail..cleaned himself up..wrote a few children books talking against gang violence...and then got the death sentence anyways? Tookie wasn't the same guy when he entered the prison.

I believe that people are born blank slates and as they mature their environment defines who they are. So when people go through hard times, they get desperate. It's not like they have a choice. They're just trying to survive..after all this world is about survival of the fittest right?

So should someone be killed for trying to survive in the world that our government created? The distribution of wealth has screwed us all over with the rich being TOO rich because the poor have become TOO poor.

People commit crimes and jail is a legitimate punishment..but I think the DEATH penalty is a cruel, unusual, and unecessary punishment.



I don't know if any of this made sense..but..yeah. Hmmm..this entry's how I feel about Tookies execution. YEaaah.
and if you see any grammatical errors, go get laid and THEN tell me them. aokay? yayay.
I'm just trying to procrastinate...I haven't started on homework yet.
