People attend the executions in Lucasville from all over the state. This day, groups have come from Cincinnati, Yellow Springs and Cleveland, with some local residents attending. According to one of the demonstrators, in the past busloads of students have come from Dayton and Cleveland to participate in the vigils.
Father Neil Kookoothe (center rear), of Saint Clarence parish in North Olmstead, Ohio, speaks to the group of Death Penalty abolitionists gathered for the vigil outside the prison.
Between 1918 and 1922, between four- and five-thousand people were executed and buried in this forest, including the first husband of Anna Akhmatova, Nikolai Gumilev (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Gumilev). Although his actual place of execution is not known, many Orthodox Christians come here to venerate the metropolitan of St Petersburg, St Benjamin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Benjamin_of_Petrograd), who was shot in 1922 (dressed in rags and shaven so that those in the firing squad would not realize whom they were killing.
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.

A key objective is not to be attached to your left stirrup. Its happened (and not a pretty sight). A ballet with consequences for those who miss their timing. Perfect execution here.

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.
