Williams Memorial Service Scheduled For Tuesday In Los Angeles

POSTED: 4:02 pm PST December 14, 2005 UPDATED: 5:25 pm PST December 16, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- A memorial service for Stanley Tookie Williams, the convicted killer who was executed on Dec. 13 at San Quentin Prison, has been scheduled for Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The noon service will be held at Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and will include large TV screens outside.

A statement by Williams' supporters says the guests invited to attend the public service include the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and rapper Snoop Dogg.

Williams, the 51-year-old co-founder of the Crips street gang, died by injection at San Quentin Prison for the murders of four people in 1979.

Oh yeah, baby. Jumbotron TVs outside for the hood.

[ncountylee]

One blessed event that I will skip.

[BenLurkin]

Just like the jumobtrons outside Staples during the Laker's championship series.

Those got the mob riled up real well.

[bigsigh]

we need t-shirts with the victims names to sell for $20. Money to their families.

[al baby]

Perhaps we should hold a moaf there

[CedarDave]

Time for Southern California's fourth season?

Fire, flood, earthquake and riot?

[gotribe]

With a book burning, too, I hope.

[Don Carlos]

If my choices were hemorrhoid surgery or Tookies funeral, I'd go for surgery.

[KamperKen]

I would highly encourage all of the moron liberal apologists to attend the funeral with the Crips providing the "security" for the event.

[Mariposaman]

If "Mr.Williams" truly was reformed (from what, if he was innocent?), why did all his supporters continue to use his gang tag "Tookie"?

[359Henrie]

John and Ken say it all.

[Dallas59]

"He's Dead Jim..."

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I'll be out there hawking authentic Sterile Free "Tookie" hypodermic syringe needles.

[petro45acp]

Make sure there is plenty of news coverage that LE can look over later.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

will include large TV screens outside.


Which will be looted promptly after the ceremony.....

I remember one california Drug King got wacked in his cell in A Cell house by a nut. And they had everyone in the long procession riding in a rolls royce and i think a horse drawn caison for the maggot to ride on.

[TNCMAXQ]

I suppose Clinton will be there biting his lip and talking about his great commitment to civil rights and telling the crowd how Bush and conservatives are no better than the KKK.

[bdfromlv]

tookie was his actual middle name unusual but real.
