Bury - or cremate - him inside San Quentin and be done with it.

Williams refused a sedative, said Becnel, one of the witnesses.Why would he need or be offered a sedative for a painless process?

If they think they succeeded by killing him in getting people to forget about him, they have done just the opposite, said Barbara Becnel, his collaborator and most vocal supporter."

"Joan Baez, who sang Swing Low, Sweet Chariot outside the prison, called the execution planned, efficient, calculated, antiseptic, cold-blooded murder."
Joan, we know your thinking is addled, but murder is when you intentionally kill some innocent person for your own selfish reasons. Murder is what Williams did to four people. You have demonstrated that you don't know what you're talking about.

If he wanted to be buried like a statesman, he should have been Zimbabwean.

He died a peaceful death. I don't understand what his fans are so upset about.

God, Joan Baez is crazier than the proverbial bedbug.
Did she sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" for the victims of Tookie's rage? Course not. She loves killers and hates their victims.
What a putz.

Why would he need or be offered a sedative for a painless process? For the nerves, I'd guess. I have no issue with his execution, but it's got to be scary as hell to walk into a room where you're going to be killed.
Anybody seen any good source material on his 'redeemed' behavior in prison? I have heard stories which suggest that he terrorized his fellow inmates and that the staff was relieved to be rid of him.

Why would he need...a sedative...
Because anyone facing execution would be extremely nervous. Don't you think so?

The argument over whether convicted killer Stanley (Tookie) Williams was a man of peace or a death-row con artist raged on after his execution Tuesday, with supporters announcing they would give him a funeral befitting a statesman.Like they did for his victims. /sarcasm

They had better not finagle one dime of taxpayer dollars for this. Hope John and Ken and Zig are on the lookout for any such chicanery.

He was put in isolation for a while after he threw cleaning chemicals in a guard's face.
