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.
On a day in September 1901, at about 12 noon, Private George A. Raymond, a discharged U.S. Army soldier was publicly hanged at the Angeles town square at Barrio Talimunduc (now the “Apu” chapel area) where 10,000 Angeleños were ordered by the Americans to witness the execution. At the last minute, Pvt. Raymond requested to be baptized in the Catholic faith. Rev. Fr. Vicente Lapuz, town parish priest, performed the baptism at the gallows and named him “Dimas,” in honor of the biblical ‘good thief’ who “stole” heaven at the last moment of his earthly life. Pvt. Raymond was sentenced to death for various violent crimes committed against a fellow-American and some Filipinos. He was the first, the last and the only American to be executed in public in the history of the Philippines. Subsequent hangings of American criminals in the Philippines took place in secret in dead of the night inside the Bilibid prison in Manila.

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.

I layed my life down for peace, never to harm another human being, and yet it's the soldiers of peace that get shot.
We are all just like Toy Soldiers
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless
I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

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.
