Q: What Do Tookie Williams Supporters Chant At Those That Disagree
A: Racist Sexist Anti-Gay, Right-Wing Bigots Go Away!
At least that is what they were chanting on the evening news.
How do they know the political persuasion of pro-death penalty supporters? According to a March 5th, 2004 Field Poll a majority of Democrats support the death penalty….and what does your position on the use of capital punishment have to do with your feelings on racial, gender, or sexual choice issues?
I abhor the death penalty…but I have little patience for most of the active anti-death penalty movement. Chants like the one above yelled outside of prisons at death penalty supporters do little good, and probably harm the movement immeasurably. When you make outrageous and, at-best, barely credible allegations with little merit you taint all logical arguments that come after it.
Unbelievable.

THANK YOU!!! I also oppose the death penalty,but can find no home in the anti death penalty movement. The way that they lionize killers and minimize victims makes me ill……
