Looks like the Los Angeles leadership is starting to freak out over the possibility that some may burn up their own neighborhoods to protest Tookie getting executed.
Four Los Angeles City Council members called for calm Friday as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger considers whether to grant clemency to Crips co-founder and death row inmate Stanley “Tookie” Williams.
With less than four days to go before Williams’ scheduled Tuesday execution, sporadic-yet-credible threats of civil unrest have prompted the council members and representatives from the city and county human relations commissions to ask religious leaders to emphasize a message of peace during weekend services.
“We picked up information that led us to believe that there were some planned and intentioned acts of violence that could occur in the wake of the decision or the execution planned for Stan “Tookie” Williams,” Robin Toma, executive director of the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission, said during a news conference at City Hall.
I will not be surprised if many in the gang community will use this execution as an excuse to tear up their neighborhoods, and while they are at it they can make some money by looting. We’re ready tho, this isn’t 1992 anymore.
