A Tale of Two Executions
by Michael P. Tremoglie
15 December 2005

The many groups that coalesced to protest the execution of Tookie Williams did nothing for contract killer John Nixon.


*snip*

However, there was another difference between Williams and Nixon. One that may explain why so many groups coalesced to protest the execution of Tookie Williams and not John Nixon. A difference other than Williams’ history of violence, his history of crime as opposed to Nixon’s history of working for a living. A difference other than Williams’ creation of an organized crime group and Nixon’s military service.

Nixon was white. Tookie was black. Maybe that explains the reason why the silence was deafening when John Nixon was executed and a din of protests for Williams.

Could it be that the protests about the Tookie Williams execution were just another example of racial exploitation by liberals?
:eyes:

Probably.



Here is the fun part:

(Correction: After this article was published, Amnesty International contacted Mr. Tremoglie and notified him that it released a press release regarding Mr. Nixon's execution.) :rofl:
