A former Los Angeles deputy mayor pleaded guilty to reporting an anti-Israel bomb threat on city hall last year.
Brian K. Williams, 61, who was employed as the deputy mayor of public safety in October 2024, was charged with one felony count of making an explosives threat.
He was hand-picked for the role by woke Mayor Karen Bass in February 2023 and given significant public safety responsibility, including oversight of the city's fire and police departments.
Williams sent a text message to Bass and other high-ranking city officials on October 3, 2024, that he just received a call from someone who threatened to bomb city hall, prosecutors said.
'The male caller stated that "he was tired of the city's support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda,"' Williams wrote in the text.
He said he contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, who sent officers to search the building but did not locate any suspicious packages or devices.
Williams showed officers a call he received from a blocked number on his city-issued cellphone that he said was from the person who made the bomb threat.
The call was made by Williams himself through the Google Voice application on his personal phone, according to prosecutors.

• Blamed it on a fictitious anti-Israel caller
• Alerted top officials and LAPD
• Sparked panic amid rising global tensions
He now faces up to 10 years in federal prison for the hoax. A senior city official.
A staged terror threat. All for… what?
It’s like pulling a Fire Alarm in the Capitol.
It’s for the Revolution, so the Judges see nothing wrong.
Uh huh.
Much of this news regarding this case was aired during the Palisades fires. And Williams, the deputy mayor, was in charge of all public safety in the city.
They found they had no water in the fire hydrants, all this while the deputy mayor was calling in bomb threats to his own city.
This level of corruption is just uneffing believable.
He dresses like Elijah Mohammed and the Nation of Islam creeps.
I can only assume he is anti-Israel and knew he couldn’t do that using his own name. Fortunately, he was caught. I hope he doesn’t get off lightly because he had “personal issues.”
What a dumb ass🤬.And that’s being kind!
No he is just a Nick Gurr
You notice how they show a picture of a black guy and a White guy but don’t tell you who’s who!
Had to look up the Williams piece of crap to know the difference.
Awful lot of NEEEEGROS being indicted lately, where is “black lives matter “ when they are needed?
He’s black, it’s LA; forget justice!
Your government in action.
Cancel the fire department.
