That's why it's an exceptional event when it happens anyway.

It's to keep them away from their prey.
And, as I said, I wasn't talking about letting him out.

You can call it vengeance if you want, but the price of criminally taking life is forfeiture of your own.
No, what I was calling vengeance was a brother of a victim calling for his death "on the basis that his brother had been sentenced to die by Tookie with no possibility of parole". And I'm not saying that the case was handled poorly, or incorrectly. I'm just saying that there was a good case for a governor's commutation of the sentence.

Want me to post the pics of Tookie's victims? He got a far easier end to his time on earth than his victims did. He should've been ecstatic that he didn't die like they did.
That's vengeance.
