In California, more than 1,000 people, gathered outside San Quentin State Prison on Saturday to call on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to halt the execution of former gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams. Tookie Williams helped start the Crips street gang. But behind bars he has become a leading advocate for the end of gang violence. He has written nine books and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is scheduled to die on Dec. 13. Among the protesters were hip hop artist Snoop Dogg who called for Governor Schwarzenegger to halt Tookie Williams’ execution.
