Yes, the Governator made the right decision. Though I am not a staunch Republican I agree with the decision.
Williams killed four individuals and would have continued killing had he not been caught he also may have never been reformed had he continued in his life of crime....he made have led a life of being a criminal only convicted for small offenses while managing to avoid being caught for the killings in his life. He would have never spoken and written about the ills of ganglife and violence had he NOT been arrested...he would have never spoken out against the gangs if he was still on the outside. Prison is meant to rehabilitate offenders...many times it doesn't work and sometimes it does. With Williams it did rehabilitate him and make him think about what he did and how meaningless his life was...however, he still ended the lives of four individuals in a state where the death penalty was still in force. He is still the same physical person that pulled the trigger...
I think his refusal to admit to the killings (which he probably used as a legal strategy) and in turn his lack of remorse was what ultimately cost him his life..
so be it, we should think about the lives of the real victims in times like these who were actually out there working on the night they got killed by Williams.
