I’m for the death penalty, even when death row inmates "turn their life around" or "change their life to do good" and so on. Key word in both of those phrases? LIFE. Do Tookie’s victims have the opportunity to live their lives? No…he decided to take that away from them. So….his punishment will fit the crimes he commited, no matter the "good things" he has done since then. It took him to get caught and convicted to change - if he had gotten away with his crimes, he’d probably either be dead already or still out there murdering people. His "change of heart" won’t give back the lives of those he killed.

So, in true conservative, eeeeeevil fashion, and because my hubby got a song in my head that I now can’t get out, I decided to write some lyrics befitting of this occasion, sung to the tune of "Hey Mickey!" (oh…and don’t think I’m alone….check out this and this and this and this…and there’s more where that came from!)
“Oh, Tookie!â€
Oh, Tookie, your fans whine
They whine so much they blow my mind
Hey, Tookie
Hey, Tookie

Oh, Tookie, your fans whine
They whine so much they blow my mind
Hey, Tookie
Hey, Tookie

Oh, Tookie, your fans whine
They whine so much they blow my mind
Hey, Tookie
Hey, Tookie

You’ve been jailed for years
And that’s a little long
Your fans think you are right
But I think they’ve got it wrong
Why can’t you say goodnight
So the families can go home, Tookie
*
‘Cause when the jury says you “willâ€
Your appeal say that you “won’tâ€
You’re givin’ us the chills, Tookie
Please, Tookie don’t
Why can’t you leave the tax dollars alone, Tookie?
*
Oh, Tookie, what a pity
You don’t understand
You killed all those people
And thought you had the upper hand
Oh, Tookie, you’re so guilty
Can’t you understand
It’s guys like you, Tookie
Oh, what you do, Tookie, do, Tookie
Don’t burn in hell, Tookie
*
Now when you capped them did you think
â€Who’s ever gonna know?â€
I bet you care right now
Or is it all for show?
Punishment fits the crimes
Arnie said it’s time to go, Tookie
*
You’ve done a few good things
Since you have been in jail
But it don’t excuse your crimes
Perhaps this levels out the scales?
But I suspect it never will, Tookie
*
Oh, Tookie, what a pity
You don’t understand
You killed all those people
And thought you had the upper hand
Oh, Tookie, you’re so guilty
Can’t you understand
It’s guys like you, Tookie
Oh, what you do, Tookie, do, Tookie
Don’t burn in hell, Tookie

Oh, Tookie, your fans whine
They whine so much they blow my mind
Hey, Tookie
Hey, Tookie

Oh, Tookie, what a pity
You don’t understand
You killed all those people
And thought you had the upper hand
Oh, Tookie, you’re so guilty
Can’t you understand
It’s guys like you, Tookie
Oh, what you do, Tookie, do, Tookie
Don’t burn in hell, Tookie
