Here is a group of people I would not want to be part of. This is part of a story about TOokie Williams case in California.

I am for the Death Penality and I hope Williams does not get Clemancy.

But that hasn’t stopped Williams and his supporters. In recent weeks, they have launched a media campaign that suggests they know as much about crafting a compelling biographical storyline as Schwarzenegger once did during his bodybuilding and movie days. In recent weeks, a parade of celebrities, including rapper Snoop Dogg (a former Crip himself), the Rev. Jesse Jackson, human-rights activist Bianca Jagger and actor Jamie Foxx have visited Williams on death row and championed his cause before television cameras outside the prison gates. Other celebrity supporters include Russell Crowe, Mike Farrell, Ted Danson and Richard Dreyfuss. On Tuesday, the NAACP sponsored a series of “Save Tookie” rallies around the state. Williams’s coauthor and publicist has arranged death-row interviews with major media outlets and his supporters have even hired a public-relations firm to organize news conferences and rallies on his behalf. At one recent San Francisco gathering, participants in SAVE TOOKIE T shirts waved signs saying BECOME THE REDEEMER, NOT THE TERMINATOR. More than 60,00 people have signed online petitions supporting clemency
