WILLIE M. CLAY llMay 11, 2013 - Public
Attention! Attention! Attention!
"Necessitas Non Hablet Legem"
This missive is being comprised for several very important reasons, more over the TRUTH! In the on going case of
the People v. Willie M. Clay II, case No.5-091008-3, in Martinez County Superior Court where the trial is being held.
Mr.Clay is allegedly on trial for the killing of Gary Lloyd Townsend on or about April 27th, 2009 in the city of Antioch.
According to (F.B.I) Flies, Townsend was a very dangerous individual known throughout Oakland, Berkeley and the greater
Bay Area, and as far the south as Los Angeles as a successful "hit-man", extortionist and robber. Including a high ranking
(BGF) "Black Gorilla Family" prison gang member, whom is validated as a murderer for this organization. Townsend was known to always carry firearms and frequently wore a bullet-proof vest, with such a reputation he ascended to posses to order anyone murdered.
Townsend's propensity for violence was alleged to be so invaluable and elusive, that he was able to commit over 50
murders, eluding detection from law, hence avoiding prosecution for over 28 years, in addition to intimidating several
individuals to relocate out of the state of California to avoid being murdered by Townsend, making him the most feared
man in the entire Bay Area.
For nearly 30 years, there have been "Common knowledge" throughout the law enforcement agencies from the (FBI)(ATF)
(BNE) Oakland Federal Intelligence Unit Detective Andie Burton including Oakland and Berkeley city police Departments and
the citizens of the respective communities, regarding Townsend's heinous acts, thus a fear that proceeded him. Allegedly, Townsends habits, traits and conduct was to the liken of a wild animal, preying on any individual he felt the need to for monetary gain, within an "innate" ability to accomplish said acts.
Mr.Clay and Townsend became acquaintances in the early 80's, their relationship throughout the years was turbulent due to
Townsend's bigger than life personal for violence and the pressure he would apply on Clay whenever he (Townsend) needed money. In 2005, the relationship reached a boiling point over $11,000.00 in proceeds, deriving from a real estate deal that Clay asserts Townsend pilfered.
At this juncture, an argument ensured, threats were made, abruptly ending the relationship. Due to Clay personally observing
Townsend allegedly murder an off-duty officer from Hayward, by the name off Cooper, at a club called "Faces", in Oakland in the 90's, other heinous conduct including Townsends reputation for murder; Clay armed himself, anticipating Townsend killing him. Subsequently, Clay's son was murdered, and Clay was informed by close associates between the two that Townsend's minions murdered Clay's son due to
Townsend and Clay's argument. Mr.Clay was prone to postulate the aforesaid information was plausible due to the sheer fact
the individuals risked their lives if Townsend was aware that these individuals had informed Clay. For the following 2 and a half years, Clay received numerous threats that Townsend sent via text message. In the days leading up to Townsends death, Clay went by an associates establishment and was informed that Townsend had been asking about Clay's whereabouts, stating he was going to kill Clay and went as far as to offer the associate some money to kill Clay.
On the day in question, Clay was driving to his home in Antioch when he noticed Townsend within four blocks of Clay's place
of residence. Due to Clay's knowledge of Townsend offering their associate money to kill Clay, all the antecedent threats including all Townsend's heinous acts, compelled Clay to observe what Townsend was up to, being that he was in a location that was in the proximity of Clay's residence. During said observation, Clay panic, thinking Townsend would kill him (Clay), if Townsend saw Clay first,and because of said fear the aformention threats Clay inherently believed that he had to kill Townsend Before Townsend killed Clay. Which Clay chose to move quicker and take harsher measure to what clearly appeared to be an imminent danger. According to the (FBI)(ATF) and(BNE), investigation documentation that was obtained through the "Freedom of Information Act", depicts Townsend as a menace to society, a United States Terrorist, a murdering machine that the world will not miss! For all the families that suffered from the savagery and Townsend alleged murders upon their relatives, justice has been served.
Mr.Clay have an inalienable and statutory "Right" to enjoy and defend life & liberty, here is a clear cause of such . . .

WILLIE M. CLAY ll May 11, 2013 - Public Revenge seen as motive in Antioch killing By Robert Salonga Contra Costa Times Posted: 04/27/2009 10:15:59 PM PDT Updated: 04/28/2009 05:46:49 PM PDT
ANTIOCH — A man shot to death Monday evening was a former Oakland drug dealer killed by a one-time acquaintance who believed he was taking revenge for the death of his son, his financial problems and his acrimonious split from their biker club, police said. Gary Lloyd Townsend, 46, was fatally shot outside a convenience store about 5:45 p.m. near Buchanan Road and Gentrytown Drive. A suspect, 42-year-old Willie Clay II of Antioch, was arrested after witnesses and police tracked him to his girlfriend's nearby home. Both Townsend and Clay were well-known drug dealers in Oakland during the 1990s, and both were arrested and convicted of offenses related to that activity, Antioch investigations Lt. Leonard Orman said. It was a tumultuous alliance. The men at times dealt drugs together and both were members of the "Made Men" motorcycle club, which Townsend founded. But when both men went to prison, their association became marked more by conflict than cooperation, Orman said. Clay first blamed Townsend for losing all his money following their convictions and also suspected Townsend of having a relationship with his girlfriend while he was incarcerated, Orman said. The primary motive for Monday's slaying stems from events in January 2006, Orman said. Clay left the Made Men that month on bad terms with Townsend, Orman said. Later that month, Clay's son, also named Willie Clay, and another man were both fatally shot in a Advertisement drive-by shooting. Police at the time suspected retaliation for a drug-related dispute. But Clay believed that Townsend was responsible, and from that point on he carried a gun in hopes of one day being able to avenge his son's death, Orman said. That day was Monday, Orman said. Outside a 7-Eleven store, Townsend pulled out of a driveway on his motorcycle. The shooter fired at close range and, after Townsend fell, came closer and fired several more times at point-blank range, Orman said. Clay had recognized Townsend's motorcycle and lay in wait for him, the lieutenant said. After the shooting, Clay got into a waiting BMW sedan and traveled about four blocks to a home where he was staying in the 2900 block of Lucena Way, police said. Orman said he tried several times to coax Clay into surrendering by calling the home, but was unsuccessful. While inside, Clay gave a bag containing his gun to his girlfriend's 14-year-old daughter and told her to hop a back fence and run away, Orman said. The girl was quickly intercepted by officers who had surrounded the home. Eventually, Clay surrendered and was arrested without incident. He has confessed to the shooting, Orman said. "He just came out and gave up," Orman said. The girl was not implicated in the shooting and brief standoff. She was released to her family.

Antioch man convicted of murder in 2009 daylight killing of rival outside an Antioch shopping center
By Malaika Fraley Contra Costa Times Posted: 06/25/2013 06:08:07 AM PDT Updated: 06/25/2013 06:08:12 AM PDT
MARTINEZ -- An Antioch man is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole after jurors convicted him of murdering an Oakland man in broad daylight outside an Antioch shopping center in 2009. Prosecutors described the victim as a rival of the defendant, but a defense attorney said he was a tormentor who murdered the defendant's son. A Contra Costa County jury deliberated for about a day and a half before finding Willie Morris Clay II, 46, guilty Friday of first-degree murder with use of a firearm and a special circumstance of lying in wait for killing 46-year-old Gary Lloyd Townsend on April 27, 2009. Famed Bay Area civil rights attorney Tony Serra argued that Clay should have been convicted of manslaughter in the death of Townsend, who he said was responsible for the killing of the defendant's son, Willie Morris Clay III, in Oakland in 2006 and was out to kill the defendant next. The two grew up together on the streets of Oakland. Clay became a drug dealer out of necessity, according to Serra, while Townsend became an enforcer for violent crime organizations. Serra said Townsend escaped justice in killing 30 people by age 28 and numerous others, including an off-duty police officer from Hayward, in the 1990s. In his closing argument last week, Serra said his client had never killed anyone before he shot Townsend out of self-preservation and fear -- but not revenge -- after spotting Townsend in Antioch, where Advertisement
Clay had moved to lay low and avoid his friend-turned-tormentor after the death of his son and a series of terrifying confrontations. "He wasn't in his right mind. You wouldn't be in your right mind either if you were haunted and hunted like an animal by this maniac," Serra said. Deputy district attorney Lynn Uilkema was the prosecutor at Clay's trial but was unavailable to comment on the verdict. Her supervisor, deputy district attorney Mary Knox, who was Clay's prosecutor before Uilkema took over, said Clay killed Townsend because he felt challenged by him. "This 'I was afraid of Gary Townsend' story was manufactured," Knox said. "Every year he's been in custody, the defense has become more and more dramatic. "If (Townsend) had killed his son, Willie would have gone after him right after," Knox said. Knox said Townsend and Clay belonged to the same gang and went into federal custody together for a drug conspiracy. None of the murders the defense attributed to Townsend were proven, and Clay himself has been suspected in multiple murders, Knox said. Clay testified that he saw Townsend pull into an Antioch shopping center the day of the killing and believed Townsend was there to meet other gang members about a plan to kill him, Knox said, but on cross-examination he admitted to watching Townsend park in front of a prenatal clinic and escort his "very pregnant" girlfriend and her small children inside. Clay was seen pacing for 28 minutes while he waited for Townsend to exit the clinic, Knox said. After Townsend helped his girlfriend and the children into a car, he got on his motorcycle and began to drive out. He was waiting at a stop sign when Clay ran up from behind and shot him in the head and neck multiple times before sprinting to a car that had its engine running. Since his arrest, Knox said, Clay has recruited new members for his gang from inside County Jail. Clay is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 23.
