Photos from 11/19 Save Tookie Rally-- Snoop+Fred Hampton

by Mahtin (themahtin at hotmail.com)
Hundreds of people came out to a rally outside of San Quentin today to demand clemency for Stanley "Tookie" Williams.

Speakers included youth from the Bay Area and the LA area, clergy from up and down the state, Fred Hampton, Jr, Barbara Becnel (longtime Tookie advocate), and Snoop Dogg. Snoop will be releasing a song about Tookie this Monday on his website, http://www.snoopdogg.com - Jamie Foxx is in this one, I think he said.

These are pretty much all of my best photos of Snoop. I will be posting more photos of the crowd and other speakers. Maybe some audio, too.

Stanley "Tookie" Williams is in there somewhere. Snoop had planned to meet with him today, but the prison cancelled all visitations. This means that dozens of families weren't able to meet with their incarcerated loved ones today. :(

Snoop spoke at the end of the rally, and then a brief press conference was held. Snoop was then whisked back through the crowd to go speak to a youth conference in the South Bay.

I think that Stanley Tookie Williams shouldn't die. I spent a good 15-30 minutes praying for him not to die. It's just the fact that white people don't understand us black folks. I think he is innocent. And I feel his family's pain and they shouldn't worry beacause he is with God now in a better place, and better hands.

North Side Jamaican Kings Mob sends G-love out to all the crips espcially ing LA, hold ya head Tookie wen tot a better place and we all know it, God took a good Soulja. [RIP Stanley Williams]. THis is the exact reason wy all of us as gang need to come together. only weeks before Tookies death I started workin on a movement called the Peace King movement. I have 13 pages of written literature and documents to support the movment and that Lit has inspired many gang memebers around the globe. I am sending the Literature out through the interenet so please contact me for that Lit. we can make a change. A change in gangs, in the government, and for out people...God Bless

Yesterday witnessing the last rights of Mr. Williams cause me be very greatful for the for the life I have today. You see me and my husband come from that same life style. I was fortunate enough to get out where as my husband life took him to prison. However we are still fortunate to be able to be here for our kids as well as letting other know that like style is not all glamarous as the hood makes it seem. Mr. Williams was truly a soldier and in the end he began to correct the wrong for his part in this madness call "Hood Life"! Rest in Peace Mr. Williams.
