Re: Stanley 'Tookie' Williams

Ideals should be ideals. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

"No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."
Due process is a thing that is supposed to guarantee that the government will respect all of your rights all the time. In the United States, due process is "implicit in ordered liberty." Life, property, and freedom from imprisonment are the three best known and always agreed on rights. These can NOT be taken away without due process. The government has used terrorism as a means to ignore due process.

How can we call ourselves a civilized country if we can not maintain an ordered liberty?

A jury of his peers, several times, and various judges have given Mr. Williams his due process. Unfortunately, vengeance rather than rehabilitation is still the way of the criminal justice system in this county and Mr Williams has been killed for his actions.
