Tookie: You're Terminated

And you von't be back.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to spare the life of Stanley Tookie Williams, the founder of the murderous Crips gang who awaited execution early Tuesday.... Williams, 51, is set to die by injection at San Quentin State Prison after midnight for murdering four people in two 1979 holdups.

...

Prosecutors and victims' advocates contended Williams was undeserving of clemency from the governor because he did not own up to his crimes and refused to inform on fellow gang members. They also argued that the Crips gang that Williams co-founded in Los Angeles in 1971 is responsible for hundreds of deaths, many of them in battles with the rival Bloods for turf and control of the drug trade.

But, but, but, but... He wrote a children's book!

We don't punish famous, charismatic people in this country according to their crimes! What, did I wake up this morning in Nazi Germany!

The next thing you know, they'll be saying Robert Downey Jr. has to give up smack.

I don't know what's happened to my country.

Celebrities don't get punished. They're better than us. That's why they're celebrities.
