Again, this time from Europe (big surprise), special thought and outraged feelings for Tookie Williams. What about special thought and outrage over his crimes? How about some outrage for his victims and their families? ! Even The Vatican chimed in with this:
At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI's top official for justice matters denounced the execution.
"We know the death penalty doesn't resolve anything," said Cardinal Renato Martino. "Even a criminal is worthy of respect because he is a human being. The death penalty is a negation of human dignity."
The Vatican really disappoints me at times. As a Catholic I have a hard time respecting a criminal who had ZERO respect for the human dignity of his victims. What about them?
