In cold blood, cruelly and maliciously - Tookie

Tookie’s the innocent. Tookie’s the victim. The following is the letter from the Save Tookie website. It should have read “Stanley Tookie Williams in cold blood, cruelly and maliciously executed his victims. Crimes that cannot be forgotten by his real victims. What is the AME church thinking? Won’t they speak in defense of those who continue to be victims of the gang Tookie started? Instead they honor him. Reformed but never a criminal. Go figure. So ends (you think) the story of Barabbas Tookie.

The State of California Killed an Innocent Man

Dear Friends,

On Tuesday, December 13th, we lost a great friend, fighter and human being. The state of California murdered Stanley Tookie Williams in cold blood, cruelly and maliciously. His execution was a 35-minute atrocity that will not be forgiven or forgotten.

We will continue to fight to prove Stan’s innocence, to continue his message of peace and to end the racist death penalty.

To all of the supporters who spent countless hours fighting to save Stan’s life, I say thank you for everything you have done. We mourn this great loss but must continue the struggle.

We have created two funds to support Stan’s legacy. One fund will help to continue his work and develop more street peace initiatives that serve needy youth and marginalized communities throughout the nation; with the other fund we plan to prove his innocence of the crimes for which he was killed.

Keep your heads up. Stan would expect nothing less.

In struggle, Barbara Becnel
