No mercy
Stone-cold killer Stanley Williams is supposed to die December 13, 26 years after murdering four innocent people. I refuse to use his cutesy nickname, which rolls trippingly from the tongues of the celebrities urging Gov. Schwarzengger to spare his life.
Albert Owens, 26, Yee-Chen Lin, 43, Yen-I Yang, 76, and Tsai-Shai Yang, 63, have spent the last 26 years in their graves, put there by the founder of the criminal street gang, the Crips.
Owens had a young child, and Williams, after netting $120 bucks from the robbery, killed him with two point-blank blasts from a shotgun because he didn't want to leave any witnesses, and because "he was white and he was killing all white people."
Two weeks later, Williams killed the elderly married Chinese couple and their middle-aged daughter with more shotgun blasts. Robert Yang found his parents and sister horribly wounded, mangled, bleeding, dying. Williams murdered the three for about a hundred bucks.
In the intervening 26 years their killer has never asked forgiveness, never taken responsibility for his actions, never expressed remorse.
The best summary of his crimes and the reasons why he should be denied the clemency he in turn denied the four people he executed can be found here.
Just one note. The actor/moonbat-activist Mike Farrell claims that Williams is a changed man; today he is not the murderer who entered prison all those years ago. But if Williams still refuses to admit he killed his victims, then how exactly is it that he's changed?
I don't get it.
UPDATE
Good discussion at Patterico's Pontifications here, here and here.

Let's see: Veteran law enforcement personnel against clemency -- Celebrities for clemency. I see this is another debate based in logic and well-informed reason.
