They were obviously trying to lose that microscopic shred of credibility they had left after giving the prize to Jimmy Carter.
Did you konw that Yasser Arafat WON the Nobel peace prize? The same guy that INVENTED the act of hijacking planes! Nobel is a joke.
I'd be embarassed if nominated; to be in the same company as Arafat and Tookie. Effing murderers.

On rioting... make it simple. I bring out National Guard. You riot, we shoot. To kill.
Federal troops should never, ever, fire on the citizens of this nation. Happened once at Kent State. That was one time too many. If it ever happens again - I arm myself against this government. No [censored]...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Hey Tookie -- don't let the gates of Hell hit ya on the way in.
This execution is only about 23 years late.  Props to Ahhhhnold for making the right decision. Tookie should have known it was "Game Over" when the 9th Circus Court of Shlemeels wouldn't even rule in his favor!

Some goofy anti-capital punishment group sent in nominations & crap like that.
But after giving Carter the prize, I wouldn't doubt that they'd give Tookie serious consideration.

Well, no riots to any great degree. I am pleased. Were people dis-organized? Were the police effective with their preparations & efforts to discourage rioting? ... or maybe hollywood doesn't have the credibility & influence they'd like to think they have...

Was "Hollywood" inciting people to riot?
IMO it's simply that even the mindless drones who demolished their own city back in '92 knew better than to do it again in support of a convicted murder/gang leader.

Hippies don't riot, and they sound like they were the only ones who cared about this mutt.
As for that Nobel Peace Prize, I hear that Hitler and Stalin get routinely nominated as well.

Yeah, Carter and Tookie are real similar cases.
