Death row clash - Los Angeles Times

Death row clash - Los Angeles Times: "By Scott Martelle, Times Staff Writer

Tune in to the afternoon 'John and Ken Show' on talk radio's KFI-AM (640) and you get a highly personalized take on Stanley Tookie Williams and those who are lobbying for the commutation of his death sentence. NAACP President Bruce S. Gordon is 'a lunatic.' Los Angeles journalist/progressive political advocate Jasmyne Cannick is a 'black racist' and a 'crackpot activist trying to make a name for herself.' Williams himself? A conman in a murderer's prison jumpsuit.

As the calendar flips quickly to Williams' scheduled execution early Tuesday morning, the former Crip has become a cause celebre for talk radio hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, who have been devoting the 5 o'clock hour of their 3-to-7 p.m. show to their 'Tookie Must Die for Murdering Four Innocent People' campaign — announced with four gunshots symbolizing Williams' victims."
