L.A. Leaders Seek Peace if Williams Dies - Yahoo! News: "Williams, 51, is scheduled to die at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison.
On Friday, four City Council members urged religious leaders to open their churches to those upset by the case.
Though community opinions about Williams vary, even a small group could provoke widespread civil unrest, said Councilman Bernard Parks, a former police chief. Parks alluded to the 1992 Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of white police officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King.
'All you need is a few to disrupt the entire city,' Parks said."
