“Schwarzenegger, weakened by a loss on all his initiatives in a special election he called last month, would have risked alienating his Republican party if he granted clemency.” – Death chamber awaits as Calif. killer’s appeals fail By Adam Tanner [ 12 December 2005 Reuters]
America the Ugly, where the irrational blood lust of racist lynch mobs has always taken precedence over justice.
8pm Tonight Dec 12: Large peaceful protest at San Quentin.
At 8pm at the East Gate of San Quentin Prison.
You can park on Francisco Blvd. E, but expect to walk 1 to 1.5 miles to get to the east gate. It will be dark, and there is uneven pavement. We suggest you bring a flashlight, water, and wear good shoes and warm clothing. This will be a peaceful protest. Please listen to security people and don’t engage the opposition as it only encourages them.
From San Francisco:
Take 101 North and exit at E. Francisco Blvd.
From Richmond/East Bay:
Take 580 to the Richmond bridge and continue towards 101 North. Take the first exit after you cross the bridge – Francisco Blvd.
