I just signed the petition for Stanley "Tookie" Williams, who is scheduled to be executed next week.
This is the big deal in Los Angeles at the moment. This dude is the co-founder of the Crips and is on death row for some murders that he still has not accepted responsibility for. But there's all this other stuff about unreliable witnesses. I'm just not for the death penalty for anyone and I believe that people can rehabilitate and that other stuff about human rights and whatever. I don't live my life by the Bible so I'm more compassionate towards mankind, and that, I guess, is my downfall and I will burn in hell for that. If only I could see the light and have a bit more unforgiving attitude towards people.
There was this editorial in last Sunday's paper about this whole debate about his clemency, and this person who is against it, was talking about Stanley's nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize. He was just saying how a nomination isn't that big a deal because any doctor or some other type of person can nominate anyone for it. Then he mentions a few names of very bad men that have been nominated for it to show how even tyrant/murderous leaders can be nominated. The list included: Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Fidel Castro. I can't believe he equals Fidel Castro to the likes of those three. Does this guy even know about Castro? I mean there are debatable things that he does, but he's not murderous or anything like that; he's a good man, overall. I mean, if Rage Against the Machine is down with him, he can't be a bad guy, right? What would Zack do?
Rage Against the Machine is not down with Taco Bell, though.
On my way back from my break today, I drove by the high school down the road. I stopped at the stop sign and there was a Porsche behind me. I heard a thud and saw something go by. It was a basketball. It flew out from the high school and hit the Porsche. The Porsche pulled to the side and the lady got out, grabbed the ball, and started walking towards there. I turned, so I don't know what happened, but I thought it was funny.
Do not park on Manchester tomorrow or your car will be towed.
