The crowd outside of San Quentin

San Francisco photographer Zombie covered the protests outside of San Quentin Prison where convicted murderer Tookie Williams was finally brought to justice for killing four people in cold blood. His photographs speak eloquently of the strange mental pathologies of the Liberal: The Stanley "Tookie" Williams Vigil at San Quentin, Monday, December 12, 2005 Here are a few:

Before arriving at San Quentin, I had been under the naive impression that the crowd in front would be evenly split between anti-death penalty protesters and pro-death penalty protesters. I was sorely mistaken. I quickly learned that the crowd was 99% anti-death penalty. And a substantial proportion of them were avowed socialists, since several radical groups showed up en masse.

Jesse Jackson and Mike Farrell stood behind the podium waiting to speak, guarded by the "Fruit of Islam," the Nation of Islam's paramilitary ... wing.

And finally this classic:

One of the standard activities of radicals at protests these days is to physically cover up the messages of people they don't agree with. At the vigil, the socialists did everything they could to cover up the Christians' signs. And, as you can see here, the media joined in: a sound technician from one of the leftist radio stations used his boom-mike to try to cover up the Christian protest sign. Using a microphone to stifle free speech -- could you get more ironic?

Zombie is an excellent chronicler of the Left and he promises more photos soon. Check out his other work: Main Page Best Of (Hall of Shame) And this classic: Anatomy of a Photograph Posted by DaveH at December 13, 2005 9:06 PM
