No matter how much the media and HollowWood Elites try to "put on" their own MonsterPiece Theatre with the lead actor, Tookie the OG, playing a kid-friendly, "inspirational" and educational character, like Cookie Monster the OM, I just can't buy the story and sit through this play. He's a monster, no doubt. And this one has been played out playa.
Look I was for the Death Penalty before I was against it and it may be possible to hold conflicting positions on any number of things. It's always the OTHERS that try to pin you to absolutes. In this case, I'm in favor of an absolute or rather "final" solution. So, I'm really not against death as a penalty...afterall, don't we all face it at some point with or without penalties?
Tookie wants to live, but not bad enough to give it up ("snitch" in his words) so that others can live free from violence and fear in the neighborhoods that are owned by the Crips.
There are reasons to oppose/fight the death penalty and that day may come very soon. But Tookie is not the poster boyee for those willing to come to the table.
