Williams was convicted of six murders, including one triple murder in 1989, but freed after almost 30 years in prison when his final murder charge was tossed because evidence of prosecutorial misconduct came to light.

Williams was part of a funeral procession for formerly incarcerated friend Tyree Little in Philadelphia, his friends told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

As he stepped out of his car on the 3000 block of Lehigh Avenue at around 2.20pm, he was shot once in the head.

Could be. His photo shows what appears to be the telltale muzzie rug burn on his forehead generated by banging it on his prayer rag while praising allah and hoping to rid the world of more infidels. Looks like his desires flipped to the opposite. Oh well. Enjoy your own personal hell visit with madhammed.

Sounds like the ‘Death Penalty’ is working - a Leftist releases a guy who otherwise could have spent the rest of his natural life in jail...and then Instant Execution.

Six murders, conviction, release, funeral, then this happens.

Death becomes him.

Well,if he was,in fact,guilty of murder he got what he deserved. If he wasn’t then we should feel bad for him.

Looks more like a big birthmark to me. I knew a Black guy in high school who had a similar one.

Origin

The origin of the expression, “revenge is a dish best served cold,” comes from French author Eugène Sue and his novel, “Memoirs of Matilda. “The English translation of the work by D. G. Osbourne, published in 1846, has the phrase appear as follows.

“And then revenge is very good eaten cold, as the vulgar say.”

The phrase went through several changes over the centuries before landing on its modern version in the 1980s. There are several uses of the expression in cinema, and the progression of the saying goes as follows.

The Godfather (1972) Don Corleone said, “Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it is cold.”

Star Trek II, The Wrath of Kahn (1982) is the first use of the modern phrase, “Kirk, old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb, “Revenge is a dish best served cold?”

All I see is one paragraph and it doesn’t even tell his whole name. It calls him ‘Williams’. Did I miss something? What was his crime to begin with?

Vigilante recompense, if that’s what it was, is sure to grow, as people mete out the justice denied them by the system.
