SAN QUENTIN (FinalCall.com) - “The State of California just killed an innocent man,” three supporters of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, who witnessed his execution, harmonically yelled with their fists in the air as they left San Quentin State Prison’s death chamber. This most unusual rally cry at the end of a state sponsored execution was echoed outside the prison where nearly 3,000 supporters gathered to protest Mr. Williams’ killing.

“Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is a cold blooded murderer,” said Barbara Becnel, Mr. Williams’ long time supporter, spokesman, and co-author, as she emerged from the prison, shortly after he was pronounced dead.

“He went with joy, with pride, with dignity, standing on truth and not bowing down,” said another supporter Rudy Langlais. Also a witness to the execution, Mr. Langlais directed the film “Redemption,” the movie starring Jamie Foxx and which depicted the peacemaker’s life.

Approximately 40 people witnessed the execution, including a phalanx of media, family members of those Mr. Williams was convicted of murdering in 1979, and a third of his supporters to witness his execution, Shirley Neal, a producer at Black Entertainment Television (BET).

Although Mr. Williams initially said he wanted no one to witness his execution, Ms. Becnel convinced him that he should be looking at those who love him when he died.
“This was the worst experience in my life,” she stated, adding, “They murdered Stan.”

Ms. Becnel told The Final Call that she vowed to continue the work of Stanley Tookie Williams, including promoting peace on the streets, educating children, publishing more of his writings, and continuing to prove his innocence.

“I’m a woman on a mission. You will hear much more from me,” Ms. Becnel insisted.

A massive funeral is slated to take place in Los Angeles. Afterward, Ms. Becnel informed, she plans to honor Mr. Williams’ wishes by having his body cremated, then flying to South Africa to spread his ashes there.

  • I’m opposed to the death penalty, but calling Tookie a saint is absurd. He killed four people in a far more brutal fashion than he was killed, and even if you choose not to believe that, he founded an organization that has directly led to the death of hundreds, maybe thousands. Some "peacemaker".

    • No one is calling Tookie a Saint — they are saying that he has been redeemed. Redemption is the message. And yes, he was a peacemaker — speaking as one who knows to prevent more gang violence.

  • THE LIE IS THE POWER OF THIS SYSTEM.
    THE LIE IS THE MORTAL ENEMY OF THE TRUTH.
    THE LIE IS THE REASON THAT "THEY MURDERED Stan"
    THE LIE IS THE REASON CRACK COCAINE WAS PUT INTO LA to TAKE Dignity and TRUTH from African Americans.
    THE LIE IS THAT THE MEDIA AND NEWS ARE SOURCES OF INFORMATION.

    AS LONG AS YOU "GO ALONG WITH THE LIE" and "THEY" THINK you "ARE BEING GOOD"
    YOU ARE "SAFE to BE THEIR SLAVE", BUT SHOULD YOU EVER "SPEAK", "THINK", or PUBLISH
    THE "TRUTH" you have made yourself into "THEIR" ENEMY, and for the "TRUTH" the PRICE CAN
    NEVER BE PAID BY MONEY, BUT ONLY BY BLOOD of the TRUTH TELLER. For HE or SHE IS THE MORTAL
    ENEMY TO THE DEATH of THE LIARS that control your MIND WITH THEIR LIES.

    Ask all the leaders and creators of the any of the common "Religions of SELF DEGRATION and BLOOD SACRIFICE
    that so many mindlessly practice today, making themselves into the interments of "THEM" that would enslave their
    self confused mind.

    That is WHY BLOOD SACRIFICE was CALLED for by the PRIESTS, and the ANNOINTED, and those FALSE teachers of the
    LIE mixed with the TRUTH to gain your TRUST and allow themselves to be placed at your HEAD AS YOUR TRUSTED LEADER.

    ONCE you allow them to LEAD you. You allow them to RULE over you. Then you allow them to pass JUDGEMENT over you...
    Then you ALLOW THEM TO EXECUTE YOU for SINS in THEIR EYES. And What sins are they these priests of GOD but that you
    SPOKE against their PLAN of CONTROL and ENSLAVEMENT over your LIFE. You SPOKE for TRUTH and FREEDOM. And those that
    did that are the ONES that always "mysteriously" ended up being some-type of ENEMY of THEM, and THUS CONDEMED by THEM as being AGAINST US ALL. SUCH and LIE and a PERVERSE use of HUMAN TRUST, and the communication process.

    The Death Penalty of Today is nothing more than the modern version of HUMAN sacrifice by the HIGH PRIESTS of those that "THEY CLAIMED TO CAST LOTS for the ONE to BE SACRIFICED.. but in SECRET they ALWAYS CONSPIRED TO KILL those that would tell the truth against the MASSIVE LIES that they perpetrated against society. In this way they used a "GOD AUTHOIRTY FIGURE" as the basis of a JUST KILLING on the behalf of society... In reality it is ALWAYS AND UNJUST THING TO KILL ANYTHING— ESPECIALLY IN RETALIATION OR PAY BACK for that is GENOCIDAL and PREMEDITATED VIOLENCE with not PASSION or REASON for the MURDER only the BLANE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY OF FALSE LEADERS, FALSE TEACHERS, and the FALSE RELIGIONS that decieve so many into following the LIES OF government, media, and self deceptions.

    Stan was a great man with a great vision and he will be missed and his people with triumph over the lie and freedom will be tasted by all even if we need to purchase that freedom with our own blood as our forefathers did.

    peace.

  • One thing you can always depend on, is to come to this site and get a good laugh. Yes, a laugh at the depth of denial that the useful idiots exhibit. But I won’t denigrate you now, I know the left is in deep mourning over the execution of Tookie, I mean, the Hollywood left is absolutely beside itself, but forget about the unborn. They don’t get any protections from those same despicable, immoral bastards like Spielberg, Katzenberg, Geffenberg, Streisand-berg, et al. Go ahead and keep on killing your unborn children, ladies, we support that. But cop killers and murderers: we go to bat for you.

    • Another thing you can even depend on with ever greater certainty is that some easily manupulated UNDEREDUCATED PERSON with the SELF awareness of defective X and Y chromosome donnor will always show up here and attempt to use their one functioning brain cell and sputter out some hubba bubba about how they were thought to write their own version of PROPAGANDA, like the the comment above that indicates that a good laugh could be had since the intelligence of such a donut paycheck collecting disposable diaper brain will appear on time with his report and file program handy on his government issued mind controlled lap top to collect information for our LEADER and his PUPPET masters. In addition why don’t you if you care about yourself ACTUALLY go and review the lessons of your kindergarten teacher about not pooping in the sandbox because mommy will be upset.
      Oh and another thing what was it that you said... It sounded alot like the mind of a DSM certifiable sociopath..look it up and tell me that you DO NOT fit most of that criteria.. But luckly your employeer has tax payer medical insurance and you can get help for your problem. And don’t forget to take your meds with your donut..

      Remember the defective X chromosome you got at conception wasn’t your fault either.. Blame on terrorists... in the womb.
      In you case unfortunately they didn’t have those progressive abortion laws so we’ll all have to put up with that little boo-boo named U no WHO would want to? NOBODY. WOW an EPIPHANY... U R A KNOW body.

      Oh this is all SARCASIM and COMEDY. You should be able to relate that.. Just tune to any corporate controlled mind vomit distribution station on channels.... I AM a DO NUT-hing. Kinda goes along with that one cell thats still firing.

    • WHAT DID THIS GUY JUST SAY???

  • Even if "Tookie" was innocent of the 1979 murders, he deserved to die for other crimes. The crips are responsible for countless murders and crimes all over the world.

    • US Government and US sponsored proxy dictators have killed between 12 and 17 million people since WW2. Fact.

    • So what’s your point?

      I agree; "US Government and US sponsored proxy dictators" should be dealt with, too.

    • respectfully, many who die deserve life and many who live deserve to die [probably myself among them]. I am reasonably well convinced that Tookie did commit the crimes he was convicted of, I just wish he could have shown more grace, courage and class before he died. It just goes to show that a man can be physically large and morally small.

  • I DON’T THINK HE DID THE CRIME,INFACT I THINK HE WAS THE FALL GUY BECAUSE HE DID’NT DO WHAT THEY WANTED HIM TO DO,ALSO I COME TO NOTICE WHEN A BLACK KILL A BLACK,GIVE HIM OR HER 25 YRS,BUT WHEN A WHITE PERSON IS KILLED,BY A BLACK PERSON GIVE HIM LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE,OR EXECUTE HIM,OR WHEN A WHITE KILL A BLACK PERSON, THE PUNISHMENT ISN’T SEVERE,IM OUTRAGED AND IT GOTTA STOP.

    • you are "outraged"? are you also offended?

    • I think some of you leftists have bumped your head once too many times.

      A man commits four heinous murders, and you defend him to the last. People try every day to save lives and do the will of God, and you condemn them for it. One day there will be judgement — Laugh if you will, but believe me, God is not only within us, but without too, and when he comes, the pretenders will be seperated from the believers, and pay for their sins.

      "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." — Ezekiel 25:17

      Just because a man writes an anti-gang "children’s" book does not mean he has redeemed himself — Quite the contrary, all of these gratuitious assertions can just as easily de disasserted (and to the self-righteous neo-communist that keeps saying "use your one live brain cell", I say "Look it up", and while you’re at it, get a dictionary and thesaurus, because your third grade Berkely wannabe education is self evident in your atrocious grammar). It is even reported (and cooberated by several convicts) that he was still involved with overseeing the "Crips" gang until he was very near the ultimate sentence.

      There are those of us who still believe in God, and if you believe on one hand (as was preached here) in pentenance for Stanley Williams, then you must also believe;

      "And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." — Exodus 21: 23-25

      You cannot have it both ways. Those of use who believe in morals are not led by priests, but by GOD. For any good priest who is led by God too, and thusly we are not following them, but walking the same path. You cannot live a life of sin and expect to believe that last-minute pentanence will work, either — Not that it has never happened, as I am sure there are many who truly seeked pentanence at the end of their days, but at the same time, there are many more who CLAIM to seek it, but in the end God sees theough any and all pretense.

      I don’t like the idea of ANYONE being killed. Not Stanley Williams, but certainly not his many victims. Unfortunately, he made his choices, and like all of us, he had to live with the consequences.

      History will decide how Williams is remembered, and I’m sure his children’s book will stand out a lot less than his crimes.

      Is there a lesson here?

      "If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. And I will pray The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; Even The Spirit of Truth;" — John 14:15-17

      "Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death." — Numbers 35:31

      God bless us, every one.
