Stanley "Tookie" Williams: A Polling Experiment!

I am trying something new. Instead of ranting about what I think of this, I am going to ask you what you think. I might do a followup blog or something. If you haven't been following the news, here's a quick synopsis of Stanley "Tookie" Williams. He was the co-founder of Cripps, the notoriously violent gang that has been responsible for countless murders since its birth. Tookie Williams recently got executed for the murder of 4 people--a crime that took place some 20-30 years ago that he has denied committing. During his incarceration, he was a vocal, and powerfully influential critic of gang violence. He had written several books on the topic, and had spoken to at-risk youth for years. He was also nominated 4 or 5 times for the Nobel Peace Prize by the Swedish legislators. If you had attended the Million More March in DC this past summer as I did, you would have seen black celebrities and activists vocally opposing his execution, and advocating for a pardon. I wanna know what you think. So lets pretend it's a week before his execution, and you are the Governor, reading over his clemency hearing.
