Linda,

Before asking clemency for this man, you might want to consider that he has never admitted to, or shown remorse for his murders. His only regrets are " that I have caused the deaths of so many young black men...". Not a word about the Asian & Caucasian victims he murdered. He is a phony & a racial supremacist. He no more deserves clemency than would any of the lynchers of James Byrd (dragged to death behind a truck) or D.W. Walker (tied to a tree & set alight with petrol). Both of these victims were black, & their murderers white. In both cases, the murderers have been sentenced to death (rightly so), two have "found religion," & tried to make a case for commutation based on their newfound convictions & "good works". Such things cannot be countenanced. The blood of the victims cries out for justice, & hopefully on the 13th of December, the cries will be answered, at least for the last of Mr.Williams many victims.

You might want to investigate further into his "heartwarming" stories of writing books for children and being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The books were not actually written by him - his name was simply put to them, and nominated for the peace prize???? How absolutely ridiculous is that?? An award reserved for such greats as Martin Luther King, the Dalai lama and Mother Theresa??? It's a travesty - check out this excerpt from townhall.com..There was nothing peaceful or compassionate about the way Alvin Owen, Thsai-Shai Yang, Yen-I Yang and Yee Chen Lin died. Owen was a white teenage clerk at a 7-11 convenience store, shot twice in the back of the head -- execution-style -- as he lay unarmed on the floor during a hold-up. A witness testified that Williams mocked the gurgling sounds Owen made as he lay dying. "You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him," the witness quoted Williams. The Yangs were Taiwanese immigrants who, along with their daughter Yee Chen Lin, were gunned down during a motel robbery two weeks after Owen died. Half of the daughter's face was blown off by the shotgun blasts, former L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Robert Martin told me in an interview this week. Williams called them "Buddhaheads," Martin recounted, and robbed them of petty cash. Williams has yet to apologize to the victims' families. When the trial ended, Martin told me, Williams muttered to the prosecution team, "I'll get every one of you m-----f-----s."
Lovely man - I can only imagine how the families of those people must feel. Whether he dies now, or dies of old age, he will eventually have to face the REAL Judgement day.

no one is attacking you - it just makes me sick to see anyone come to this monster's defense. (Not meaning you specifically - but all the people that have fallen into supporting a man that has nothing but a fantastic public relations campaign.) You say that you believe in most cases "the sooner the better" for execution. Maybe you would have felt differently about this man if he was going to his death 15 years ago. How can anyone say they believe in the death penalty if they believe that, given 20 years, they can redeem themselves. Don't buy into what you hear about him - its all show. I'm not even a huge supporter of the death penalty myself - but he would seem the exception. (I too have followed this case for years) By the way - his counseling must do wonders - his son is in jail for murder too.

My hubby is a great believer in the death penalty..his tirades go something like this......I wish I could get his exact quote on this.....Let's fry the M.....f....... who killed the innocent people and fry them fast. Then we'll bring 'em back to life when their innocent victims come back to life. That's justice. I never said my husband was a gentle person, but he seems to have a reasonable perspective on what to do with people who kill innocent victims. di
