Arnold v. Tookie

V.











Forget requests for clemency. Forget last minute pleas to the U.S. Supreme Court. The debate regarding whether to spare the life of Tookie Williams could have been settled quite easily, if the powers that be had simply listened to my suggestion: A no-holds-barred wrestling match between Tookie and the Governator. Except not the 60 year old gents we saw plastered on the news yesterday, but rather the 25 year old Arnold and Tookie of yesteryear. It could have been a pay per view event, with all of the money raised going to a special trust set aside for legal defense of the poor. If Tookie pins Arnold, then Tookie gets to live (life in prison, but still, at least it's a life). If Arnold pins Tookie, then Arnold can personally inject Tookie with the lethal chemicals designed to end his life. Now, that sounds fair. Right? More importantly, who wouldn't want to see that?
