Boortz bloviated this morning about the evils of Tookie Williams. He made the following prediction:

Tookie's Termination is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. It won't happen. First, the federal courts are likely to grant a stay or two. After all, he was only sentenced about 24 years ago. What's the rush? Secondly, I believe that the main reason the execution of Tookie Williams won't be executed is because Schwarzenegger knows full well that as soon as Tookie's death is announced there will be riots in South Central Los Angeles and elsewhere. The huge media exploitation of this story has made drop-dead sure of that. There are thugs just waiting for an excuse ... not a reason, an excuse. The rioting, of course, will lead to wide scale looting. There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now.

Look for Arnold to give Tookie a pass.

Well by the looks of things Arnold did not give Tookie a pass so Neal was wrong about that.

I just hope he is wrong about the wide-scale looting, burning and destroying.

Large scale destruction should be left to governments and kept out of the hands of the private citizenry.

I can remember a time when I was all for the death penalty. I understand the mindless rants of folks like Boortz because there was a time when I would have been shaking the pom-poms with him.

I can respect a pro-death penalty position. I can understand the argument. But damn it would be nice if people like Boortz would not sound so happy about the administration of state sanctioned killing.
