About clemency !!!

So Mr Arnold you didn't give clemency to Tookie Williams. We understand that you did this in a rather disgusting way and mainly motivated by personal political and electoralist goals. Sure you didn't want to alienate the pro-death penalty Republican vote in California so you might stand a chance for re-election as Governor. I can't imagine how you must feel deep down within yourself today unless like most politicians you don't have any morals and ethics, only yourself can know that. I know that power, fame and money are very attractive for many human beings and that they are even more important than values such as love, pardon and fraternity.

Being yourself of Austrian origin and knowing well that your own father was a member of the NSDAP (Nazi Party) how would have you felt if say some tribunal would have sentenced your father to death for war crimes ??? And if say it weren't true and they would have killed him the same. The only problem here is that we don't actually know what your father did during WW II. Perhaps he was also a cold blooded Nazi killer, maybe he had blood on his fingers too, how do I know ??? In life we should at times put ourselves in our own shoes and start thinking for a while before making decisions... What about if Williams was innocent ??? Too late you now have blood on your hands too !!!
