It’s OK, Tookie.

They can’t hurt you any more.

I believe taunts like this isn’t for the executed but for the rest of us who may not support the death penalty. The point seems to be “look at this horrible human being, he deserved death, you guys who don’t like the death penalty are wrong.” Even the OP isn’t stupid enough to believe that the deceased will read this topic.

How’s your life going that you think posting in this thread multiple times over a couple of days is a good use of your time? But hey if your life is so empty that you have nothing better to do then who am I to knock you.

I’ll say one thing about this. I read the Wiki page. And I realized Snoop Dog is/was a dick. He made some rhyme about them executing a “king” or some such.

IMO if you think some thug like Tookie is a king, you have a pretty fucked up world view.

Law and Order will never be quite the same.

I think you may be confusing Snoop Dogg with [Ice-T,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-T) who is a star in Law & Order SVU.

OTOH, Ice-T recorded [Cop Killer,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_Killer_(song)) so it’s not like he’s an awesome role model either.

I would just like to say I have nothing to do with this sad state of affairs, other than posting here to affirm the same.

Well, there’s an important difference between being so invested in an issue that you feel the need to actually start a thread about it, on the one hand, and simply responding to someone else’s thread, on the other.

Also, pointing out idiocy is often worthwhile. Hence my response to this thread. And to some of your posts, for that matter.
