According to this article <\/a>(which is in Danish, I\u2019m afraid), a tiff has broken out between Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Austrian city of Graz over his refusal to oppose the death penalty.\u00a0 When he refused to halt a high-profile execution recently, the city turned against their most famous native son and took his name off a stadium that had been christened in his honor.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I suspect this is a reflection of the deepseated European discomfort
\nwith that great American pasttime, executions.\u00a0 I should think that
\nArnold is beloved by his hometown, so I doubt this move would be made lightly.\u00a0 It must be a sign of widespread revulsion.<\/p>\n

The execution in question was of a former gangster and founder of the infamous Crips<\/a>, Stanley Tookie Williams, who became a writer and prominent activist against gang violence after his incarceration for a murder conviction.\u00a0 His work gained him international renown and resulted in him even being nominated for a Nobel Prize, I think.\u00a0 His looming execution became cause celebre <\/a><\/em>and occasion for numerous international figures to plead for clemency.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
