One more redeemed life wasted, Arnold refused to do the right thing
Well, the muscle bound Austrian oaf had a chance to do something intelligent, graceful, and merciful. But no, Ahnold Schwarzenegger figured Mr. Williams showed no “remoas.” Apparently there were questions in 1979 about an all white jury and questionable witnesses. If, perhaps, Mr. Williams was innocent, which only he and the three decedents would know, then no remorse was necessary.
There is no doubt that Mr. Williams was a violent young man. His list of criminal activities before and during the first years he spent in prison are those of a sociopath. I know that most Americans don’t much care to discuss the whys and wherefores of such people, just kill ‘em. No one cares about what brings a person to the point where such anger becomes stronger than a person’s ability to control it. But poverty, racism, no hope for the future are certainly among the most likely reasons. Many sociologists and psychologists now readily agree that gangs are a way for young people to have a sense of belonging. Something most poor kids miss out on. Black, white, Hispanic and Asian.
It’s times like this that the presence of a sophisticated, unbiased, HUMAN BEING ORIENTED, Federal Government would be of much use. But, in truth, there’s never been one, certainly not in recent times. “Leave all this social business to the states,” they say, that is mostly the republicans. They don’t mind the cushy jobs with far more pay than they deserve, just don’t want to do the work. So the effort, at least for the last century has been to relieve the Federal Government of such things as social control, schooling, decent living conditions, enough to eat, safety and such.
Sooo, let’s look at some of these “statesmen.” Well, you have Arnold Schwarzenegger, no knowledge of government at all and not even born in this country. Then there’s Jesse Ventura whose only claim to fame was the World Wrestling Federation. Of course you have George W. Bush. Most of us know about him. Remember George Wallace?, a well known racist like Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. Can’t forget former Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy, a junior senator whose behavior was so perverse, it earned him an entire “era,” in memory of his infamy. Let’s not forget the Nixon Administration that during which, not only did the President resign in disgrace, so did his VEEP, and then his Speaker of the House pardoned him (Nixon) to prevent a certain impeachment. Remember Herbert Hoover who presided over the worst economic catastrophe in US history, and did virtually nothing.
But, it’s not just the Republicans, though most of trouble this country’s been in usually finds republicans in positions of power.
But what about the average American. Especially people of color. People who absolutely do not share any of the things that supposedly make this country great. Eisenhower had to send the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock Arkansas so some African American kids could get into the all white school. Remember Governor Wallace of Alabama standing on the steps of the University of Alabama to keep African American students out? Can you imagine trusting your life, safety, and well being to a mutt like that, or your family’s? Not Hardly. What about the countless lynchings in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Anyone remember the song sung by Billie Holliday called, “Strange Fruit?”
Black people who couldn’t eat at a “whites only” diner, or drink from a “white’s only” fountain? What about the recently deceased Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man? African American’s only just recently (1964) were allowed the “privilege” to vote. Though much of this horrific treatment occurred during the 19th century as well, it continues to this very day.
A country that doesn’t care to provide a decent home for all of it’s citizens, or a good education. A country where African American citizens live in abject poverty as a much greater percentage of their race than do whites. Ghettos with no jobs, ramshackle living quarters, filthy, poorly run schools, if any at all.
Well, this is the type of environment Stanley Williams III grew up in. At a young age, he may or may not have committed these heinous crimes. But then, the bought and paid for WHITE’S ONLY justice system couldn’t have cared less. So, for this crime he allegedly committed, he spent almost half of his life in prison waiting to be killed by the very country that by its behavior towards African American’s, spat in his face.
I suspect any non ideologue would probably consider this cruel and unusual punishment. But despite this, Mr. Williams reached into himself, to his last breath, and pulled out the calm, articulate, warm hearted person that was always caged away by anger and hatred towards the life he found himself the “beneficiary” of. He wrote a series of books aimed at discouraging gang membership for kids. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He spent the last decade of his life remaking himself and warning others, especially youngsters what would happen if they made the decisions in life he did.
I don’t at all mean to disparage or diminish the horrible murders that these families withstood, and will really never forget. I am saying, however, that if we ever hope to make it to the next century, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has to apply to everybody, no matter their color, creed, cultural background, political affiliation and etc. After all, isn’t a redeemed human being worth keeping?
History has shown unequivocally that extinction can occur in many ways.
Living in this kind of society is one of them.

Mr. Bohne is a clockmaker and activist. He HATES the US Government, and without stretching the truth (reality) will do anything to dig up dirt on any of these bastards, as long as it's REAL dirt.

2- Most don't want or need jobs...The working citizens in this country takes care of this...Thanks to your type!
3- Don't like your living conditions, get a real job and move!

As usual, the conservative white is at fault that animals act like animals!...The real ones to blame?...Bleeding heart liberals as yourself
Tookie Williams "was not killed" you idiot! He paid his just dues!
Do you expect any rational human being to believe this crap your writing?..."Only liberals would"...But heck, to these clowns the sky is pink!
You are a dumb-mule liberal and your writing proves it,

That must be news to all the Asians in this country who generally surpass all races in education. Strange how the Vietnamese on the whole came here with nothing, and are exceeding past their wildest dreams. Wonder how they exceed, and the others don't. Of course the Hispanics do quite well also, as they are extremely hard workers, and are family orientated like the Asians. How do you explain this? Of course, there would be no acceptable
explanation for you.

So you were 19 in 1973, the year of the last American troops, unless you were an Embassy guard or in the evacuation of Saigon. I would be interested to know what unit/units you were with, and what years.

I think most of you that have read my stuff know I'm an extremely angry man. But before you pass judgement on me, if you are so inclined to do, perhaps a visit to Tommy's URl will give you an idea what kind of person he and his filth are. These people are the sick SOBs that hate anyone who isn't white and southern. I hope you all that have read the things i've written and hopefully will continue to read will remember THESE VERY MOPES SUPPORT GEORGE W. BUSH and have killed thousands if not millions of people of color over the years. They talk about the Vietnamese, and yet it is there very low life kind that tried to run the Vietnamese fishermen out of Galveston Bay because they were simply better fishermen. So,I hope you and the editor will just "look the other way?" while i deal with these mutts. So, here it is. ENJOY!http://greatistruth.blogspot.com

Perhaps those of you that have come to this note have decerned a distinct change in dialogue with Mr. Aaron and ilk and me. The damnable misery of this is that I DO follow through with the "remedy" that one might see in this commentary. The fact that such remedies are necessary is probably the most hateful part of this. Clearly, Mr. Aaron's dialogue demonstrates he has no ablity to debate, discuss, or any other way of meeting other people with other ideas on a common forum with an acceptable dialogue. I think most would agree that it is this very aspect of American society that keeps us from moving on as a society towards something better. Something all of us, despite being white, can enjoy.
