THE WILLIAMS EXECUTION
Large Funeral Planned for Williams, Friend Says
By Maura Dolan, Times Staff Writer


Barbara Becnel, who led the campaign to save Stanley Tookie Williams' life, made arrangements Tuesday to receive her close friend's body, and said she and others were planning a major public funeral for him in Los Angeles.

Becnel said the ceremony would take place in a Los Angeles church and would be on the scale of the funeral for Rosa Parks. She said details would be announced later this week...

I have a realy queesy feeling about this. I highly respect those who stood up to protest the execution and the Death Penalty. But to even mention him in the same breath as Rosa Parks is an insult of the highest degree and should not be tolerated. Tookie's life and choices were no cause for celebration.

Please, those who protested his execution, move on to the next person who might lose their life.
