An inmate on death row for 22 years, Williams was recently nominated for a Nobel Prize for his anti-violence children's books, and is the subject of a new movie, Redemption. Williams will address the audience via speakerphone from San Quentin prison at the start of the meeting.
Other Speakers include:
Todd Chretien of the Free Kevin Cooper Committee for a California Moratorium and the International Socialist Organization.
Tracy Rice of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition
On February tenth, activist pressure forced the ninth District Court of Appeals to grant a stay of execution for Kevin Cooper, an African-American who has been on death row for 18 years. Cooper's case shows everything that's wrong with the death penalty: it's racist, it targets the poor, and it's even used against innocent people. Come to this meeting to discuss how we can build a movement to stop all executions in California.
Sponsored by: Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, Death Penalty Focus, International Socialist Organization, National Lawyers Guild and California People of Faith Working Against the Death Penalty
This Friday April 23, 6pm SHARP!
Holman United Methodist Church,
3320 W. Adams Blvd, L.A.

Giving the nobel booby prize nomination to murdering scum just because he's black (or a real winner like arafat) proves the worthlessness of the award.
Meanwhile, kevin cooper is guilty as sin. I hope this murderer of children enjoys his upcoming stay in hell.

all the children's books and etc are just another jailhouse con by a master of playing suckers off against each other. Mr. Williams is the one who made the initiation into the crips be the requirement that a new member shoot somebody - anybody - just to prove how tough they are. And that they are willing to kill at the drop of a hat. A recent example of this type of behaviour just happened with the police officer murdered by a 16 year old in Lancaster because he wanted to impress gang members so they would let him join.
Listen black people. Crips are not your brothers. They are evil gangsters who live by extortion, intimidation, drug dealing, and robbery. They only care about themselves and they will murder anybody who gets in their way. Don't let them and the deluded pieces of trash on the mass media make Mr. Williams into a hero. He is not a hero. He manipulated lots of chumps into creating this huge ongoing criminal enterprise and it will be a curse to the people of Los Angeles for years to come. Obviously the movie makers don't have any friends or relatives who were shot by Crips!!!

It's sad, because most gangsters are Republicans at heart. They're all about the money, guns, and power. And some business people just like dealing with gangsters as long as they make money, and help smooth business by breaking the law, for a price. It's a crooked scheme with many angles.
Some gangsters are just, "whatever", but a lot of them are psychopaths, junkies, and losers. If there's a Malcolm X in prison about to make history, he'll emerge, and won't need help from white-guilt liberals buying some kiddie book.

-----Meanwhile, all victicrats are kind, caring folk who want zero power or privilege for themselves. Oh no, they want only to "help" people.
----They are the more generous party since they spend so much (of other people’s money, not their own) buying the votes of illegals and “the poor.”

"Look to your idol Rush Limbaugh, neocon fools. Or better yet, take a drive with him. After an Oxycontin binge."
When Limbaugh abuses pills (not illegal drugs, but prescription pills) for back pain he's a criminal.
When 90% of hollywood liberal mouthpieces shoot up, snort up and fuck up, they're forgiven as simply having "emotional problems."
liberals are a parody of a parody.

Have any of you people ever seen people change from good to bad? or bad to good? Think about it. Stanley Williams may be a murderer but he has done a lot for many teens and kids around the world. PEOPLE CHANGE. It's part of life, I am sure that after people in a "hell on earth" aka Prison, inmates either stay the same or do a complete 360 and before you people put comments on here, maybe you should do your research and leave a little bit more about Stanley (tookie) go out and read his books, check out those children books that have been published all over the world, check out the movies, and interviews, and announcements by him. Learn as much as you can about the man before you come on here and start bashing him. Yeah he made mistakes and he was conficted of murders and yeah he co founded the crips, he never made people join the gang and he didnt have any say in tell these gang members today to go shoot random people instead he is trying help people understand what he did was wrong and that no person(s) should live that way or they will end up like him or dead. Tookie is education out youths of today so they can better themselves and learn for him mistakes rather than making those mistakes for themselves.
Thank you,

Everyone changes in their lives for the good or for the bad. We have people that have been raised in homes where good was all they were taught in the end they decied to live bad lives and die that way. I truely think it is a shame when a life is taken I would want that person to forever burn. What would truely be a slap in the face is if that person had no guilt about what they did.
Their is a song that ask us all a question IS YOUR LIVING IN VAIN? we should all ask that question what is it that you have done in your life that has truely help someone else from going down the wrong path . if you can save one person from going into our prison system you have done a lot.
Yes Mr Williams has done wrong and he will certanily live with that the rest of his life .If God does not remind him why should we he knows what he did .We know what we did in life no matter if you were a bully in school you hurt someone you not only left scars on the outside but the inside takes years to heal .To so many people they would love to hear from that bully the words I am sorry the pain I have caused you . Through Mr. Wiliiams book his actions for the last 20 some years have spoken for it self . I HAVE CAUSE PAIN AND I CAN NOT BRING BACK ANY OF YOUR LOVE ONES BUT I AM REDEEMED.

You seem like a very angry person and that was Tookie 20 some years ago. People can change and God does forgive and you can be redeemed. I just watched the movie about tookie "Redemption" and I was completely impressed. Yes he started the crips, yes he has done worse than anyone I know or will ever no. But who are you not to forgive. If God himself can do it why can't you? If you expect God to forgive you of your sins why shouldn't he forgive Tookie?
I think what he has done is wonderful . Yes Caitie he started the crips but if he hadn't don't you think someone else would have. Get real if you don't ! What this world has become is terrifing to me. But I no with people out there like Tookie I can rest easy.
