Statement on the Murder of Stanley Tookle Willlams
By, Brother Khalfani Malik Khaldun 12 - 13 - 05

Amerikkian jurisprudence has once again, in its tradition, emulated
the perpetuation and organization of the trans-Atiantic slave trade.
They've again sought out to break down the biggest and strongest
men among the African male slaves, captured out of Africa. This is
what helped them succeed in the ultimate domination of my ancestral
tribal families and Homeland.

Staniey Toookle Willlams was a part of this nation. Today, the
state of California sanctioned his murder by lethal injection. They
escorted him to the death chamber at 12:01, California time, and
strapped / taped his arms to the lethal injection bed inside the death
row unit at San Quentin State Prison. Stanley Tookie Williams was
pronounced dead at 12:35.

Amold Schwartzenegger, Governor of California, denied Staniey
Tookie Williams clemency, simply for political reasons. What isn't
made ciear is that Amerikkka's polltical establishment doesn't respect
rehabllitative redemption. Stanley "Tookle" Williams represented a
“genuine® basis for redeemed conduct - even amidst such harsh
confinement, yet lived and enjoyed a productive existence. This 51
year old New Afrikan souljah spent 25 years on California's death row,
where he maintained excellent mental and physical shape.

The revenge system of death, symbolically is what once was in the
form of a racist slave master, who placed ropes around the necks of
strong Afrikan men - hanging them - to suppress all rebellious
attitudes of resistance. Stanley "Tookle" Willlams represented that
Volce of rehabilitative redemption in the humblest of ways. This is why
this repressive system didn't commute his death sentence, down to life
in prison.

Because such a change, from death to lfe in prison would have
allowed Tookie to continue his work with youth elements in society.
But most Importantly I believe, he would have proved his innocence,
which would have lead to his release from prison. So they sanctioned
his murder to prevent such a possibilly.

The murder of the man, little do the agents of repression know,
has made Brother "Tookie's" image larger In death than his physical
form was In life. The death penalty is fundamentally wrong and
disproportionately applied.

‘Stanley "Tookie” Willlams managed to accomplish the publication of
9 children's books, specifically addressing the violence they suffer from
and strongly condemning gang violence. Also, 21 additional books
were written by him, about his life in and outside of prison. He has

managed to do what I've only dreamed of doing, as a writer and prison
activist. 1 only knew Stanley “Tookie" Williams from afar, admiring his
works. His example serves as motivational encouragement to me in
my pursalt of liberation.

While Governor Amold Schwartzenegger advocates and celebrates
the founding fathers through his recognition of the U.S. Constitution
and by his appiication of his duties, we as the descendants of slaves,
the New Afrikan Nation colonized in Amerikkka, celebrate your
‘homecoming. Our ancestors and fallen warriars greet you in the
Council of Elders. Long Live Comrade Stanley "Tookie" Wiliams

Wrongfully Accused
By, Adam Layne

Today, a tragedy occurred that resulted in the death of an innocent man.
51 year oid Stanley Tookie Williams was put to death at 12:35 am on this
tragic day in December 13%, 2005. Not only was he an innocent man, but a
positive role model for youths all over the world, with a message that sates:
"No matter the wrangs you've committed, eve the worst can change."

But the U.S. didu't see it that way. They sent their own message saying:
"There is no such thing as change or forgiveness." This is a selfish message
10 every individual who's ever committed a crime, big or small - from
robbery to the theft of a pack of gum. The U.S. s tlling all these
individuals thatthey can never change, that there is no hope. I for one
believe that the government is trying (o take the position of God.

How can an entity (the state) who doesn't create life, have the authority to
take the life of another? In 1862, the United States Constitution
administered the law that every man, woman and child shall be treated
equally. How is it that the government can take the life of a manthey think
deserves i, yet a citizen of the U.S. can't do the same? What kind of
message is this? This is a message that totally contradicts the U.S.
Constitution and the beliefs of a higher power. | don't believe thal any
offeace should go without some form of justice, but the death penalty should
not be applied for numerous reasons. | hape that those who find time to read
this can understand what I'm saying and see this in the same perspective as
me and many others.

I want to express my feelings on the execution
of Stanley Tookie Williams, which took place on
December 13°. He was pronounced dead at 12:35 am,
pacific time. I was devastated when Governor
Arnold Schwartzenegger denied clemency for Stanley
Williams. Stanley showed the world how a person
can rehabilifate themselves. He went from a gang
leader to a person who denounced gangs and wrote
books for children to keep them from going down the
same path that he took.

T can truly say Stanley Williams is someone
I'm proud of, and a man that was admired by many
people all over the world. He was mominatod for
Sevaral Nobel Peace Prizes. He showed the world a
person can change for the best and take their
negatives and turn them into positives, to
contribute to help make his community and this
world a better place. That's the meaning of
Tedemption and rehabilitation. In our society, it
teaches us that a person should be given a second
chance id a person truly tries to change their life
for the better. But for Stanley Williams there was
no second chance, even after he truly showed the
world that he turned into a new man.

Sociaty contradicts itself by saying it's not
okay for a person to take someons e/sa‘s life. But

then our prison system will put someone to death in
the name of justice. But whose justice are they
really doing, becausa it's sure not the justice I
and a lot of other people is justice.

December 13%, 2005 was truly a sad day for
those od us who had nothing but love and respect
for a man that showed the world a person can change
their 1ife for the batter. Stanley (Tookie)
Williams will be loved and missed forever. Respect
and love; May you rest in Peace, my Brother!

“Long Live Tookiel"

December 13, 2005 an honorable man was executed, af ter he
changed his life from creating what more than likely was the
result of his death. Stanley Tookie Williams was the younger of
the Crips, yet affer being charged with the murder of 4 people in
1977. During his incarceration, Tookie apologized for his
involvement in gang activity & wrote children's books & donated
all funds to anti-gang groups without accepting any of the profits
for his own benefit. Most, if not all of the State's evidence
relied Solely on “snitch testimony from 2 state witnesses. Non-
reliable witnesses whom had an interest in testifying falsely to
avoid prosecution. After his conviction & state appeals to the.
California Supreme Court, Tookie, fighting for his life against a
state sponsored execution, sent his stay of execution to who else,
but Arnold “The Terminator* Schwartzenegger.

Failing to see any possible reason to grant life over murder for a
man whom apologized for his past gang activities, wrote
childrens' baoks against gang activity & violence & donating all
profits to anti-gang organizations, the fact that Tookie
maintained his innocence to his death when he could've took
plea to save his life prior fo trial. The fact that the 2 main
witnesses had an overwhelming inferest in testifying falsely to
avoid prosecution - even after one of the snitch state witnesses
was known for committing crimes & setting other people up & the
fact that Tookie was the younger of the Crips & wouldn't have
had to kill anyone with his own hands if he wanted them dead,
didn't even cross the Terminator's mind. The only thing he saw
was a big black strong man who founded the Crips, which Tookie
never denied & “the Terminator" wanted to punish Tookie for
that, regardless of whether Tookie committed the crimes he was
accused of or notl T believe in his innocence & his redemption &
his contribution to bring change will be remembered.

Thoughts From the Mind of An Atheist Prisoner
statement on Stanley Tookie Willian's Execution

_on December 13*, 2005 Stanley “Taokie"
willians, age 51, was strapped to a hospiral-like
bed at 12:01 a.m, to receive legal injection and to
becone the 1,001 prisoner to be put to death by
the needle since the reinstatement of the death
penalty in the US of A. T know little of this man.
But I do know of his involvement with the notorious
gang, “The Crips,” and also that he was a creator
of children's books and other religious books on
philosophical issues.

But before I speak on things I have no
business speaking on, I will speak on something
that is against my moral values - the killing
(nurdering) of prisoners. i .

We as a country and sect, thrives and prides
ourselves on religion. Christianity, mainly, is
our concept of pride to upholding our maral values.
But considering that, then why does this country
portray to break the 7% Commandment “Thou shall
Not kil1?" It's said "An eye for an eye" and "a_
tooth for a tooth” but not a life for a life. Life
15 something that cannot be replaced. ~An eye has a
pair, a tugth, .manx. . .

so while in the process of killing prisoners,
do you'ask yourself - “s killing thie may a sin?
Because he killed somebody else?" Well, for the
information of the outside world, it is'a sin.
Consider this from a true atheist, and doesn't
believe anyone should hold anyone's life in their
hands and do with it as they will.

"I do_not agree that you shouid take someone's
life simply because they took someone else’s Iife;
I'think 1t would hurt that person more to spend the
rest of his or her life ina 5' x 9' cell, inside a
dank prison, such as san Quentin in California,
having to think about the deed they had done.
Having it weigh heavily on their minds and hearts.
Break them down as they broke a family.' )

or, to allow that person to make right within
thenselVes, SO they can lay with inner peace.
“Becaue it's not what a human/prisoner is seen as,
but by what_that prisoner may see within
themselves.” To make right on the Tife that they
chose to let go astray.
