more thoughts on recent murder

Take a look at Schwarzenegger's written response to the clemency request. Pay specific attention to the last page or so when he explains that it was William's book dedication which
"casts significant doubt on his personal redemption." The list includes Nelson Mandela, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt, Ramona Africa, John Africa, Leonard Peltier, Dhoruba Al-Mujahid, George Jackson, and Mumia Abu-Jamal. I hope other people are seriously questioning this written response as well. It is so flawed. Shouts racism, violence and misrepresentation. It makes me sad, mad, enraged that even a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize cannot prove a person's contribution to society.
