I just watched the official media witnesses give their statements on live TV. Prior to the execution, Williams' invited witnesses reportedly mouthed the words "We love you" and "God bless you" to Williams, and also gave "black power salutes" (in the media witness' words). It was as the witnesses were all filing out of the witness chamber (after death was announced) that the Williams supporters made their outburst, at which point the step-mother of victim Mr. Owens began to cry.
More of that patented "redemption" I suppose.
Tookie's supporters were acting like thugs and brownshirts.
