For day 5 of Videoblogging Week I’m digging up some never before seen footage I shot on December 13th last year. The scene is outside San Quentin State Prison the night of the execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams. His execution was especially controversial as Williams had renounced gang life and had become an effective anti-gang activist. Thousands of anti-death penalty activists turned out in hopes of a last minute commutation of Williams’ sentence.
It's videoblogging week and this my contribution for today.

One story relates how, while Nicholas was visiting a remote part of his diocese, several citizens from Myra arrived with the news that, in his absence, the ruler of the city, Eustathius, had condemned three innocent men to death. Nicholas set out immediately for home. Reaching the outskirts of the city, he asked those he met on the road if they knew what had happened to the prisoners. Informed that their execution was to be carried out that morning, he hurried to the executioner's field, where he found a large crowd of people and the three men kneeling with their arms bound behind them, awaiting the blow of the sword. Nicholas passed through the crowd, took the sword from the executioner's hands and threw it to the ground, ordering that the condemned men be freed from their bonds. Later the ruler sought the saint’s forgiveness. Only after a period of public repentance did Nicholas absolve him.

Execution Room. Prisoner was tied and suspended as shown by an old prisoner uniform. The wall behind was covered by padding full of bullet holes. The other walls were also padded in an effort to cut down on noise.

Christopher Newton's execution was previously scheduled for February 27th, but newly elected Governor Strickland postponed the execution, along with those of two other inmates, so he could review their cases to consider clemency. The first of the three, James Filiaggi, was executed in April.
Outside the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, Death Penalty abolitionists erect signs mourning the impending death of Newton and the death of his victim, Jason Brewer and calling for prayers for the souls of both, as well as their families.
One day I decided to visit the memorial place near The Hague where during the war many members of the resistance were executed by the Germans.
The second I left home it began to rain and storm but i decided to finish my trip, no matter what.
It was a tough ride, blown off my bike a few times.
But on my way there I saw a 1930s Rolls Royce and a 1930s bus drive by.
I'm not superstitious but it felt like a good sign ;)
The monument was small but touching, when I got there it stopped raining and the sun started shining.... Read more
I'm not ashamed to say I kneeled at one of the execution places and had a little chat and a little cry.
The trip back was a delight, storm ended, traffic melted away and I knew where I was going this time ;)
As I was having a little private time by the execution spot I heard gunshots.
It freaked me out a bit, till I remembered there was a army training ground nearby.
The execution wall between blocks 10 & 11 at Auschwitz - block 11 held cells (the lower windows) where up to a 100 people were crammed in to rooms & not given anything to eat or drink. It also contained tiny 4 people standing cells where people were held. I found the lower block rooms in block 11 to be really sad, dark, depressive & the people held there would have heard the executions on the other side of the wall ....

The bolshevik party introduced the cheka, a secret police force, that could now execute someone without trial. Lenin used this to execute anyone that opposed him or presented a threat to the bolshevik party. In the Russian civil war it is believed that the cheka executed more than 200,000 people that presented a "threat" to Lenin or the party.
