Cluelessness From Tookie's Kookies

Tookie Kookies rallied outside California's Capitol building today, as defense and prosecution attorneys presented their arguments to the Gov, who will decide on clemency sometime before next Tuesday.

One of the signs seen on the Capitol lawn: "Execution is Terrorism, Free Tookie."

Typical leftwing bumper-sticker philosophy:

Terrorism is the deliberate killing of innocents for political purposes. Here, we are proposing to execute a person who is guilty of killing innocents, and we're doing it for societal purposes.

Williams was convicted of the murder of Albert Lewis Owens, 26, during the robbery of a 7-Eleven convenience story, and of the slayings of Tsai-Shai Yang, 63, her husband, Yen-I Yang, 76, and their daughter, Yee-Chin Lin, 43, during the robbery of a motel the family owned. All four victims died by shotgun blasts.

The murders occured in February and March, 1979. No court has ever reversed the original jury decisions, although many have considered the case.

Here's a bumper sticker alternative:
