You are correct--the city made the first move, probably as a publicity stunt, and Arnie called their bluff.
1.) Ship Tookie's two criminal sons (the murderer and the child molester) to Graz and let them loose. The local Fraus and Frauleins might soon develop a different perspective on the Williams family.
2.) If you asked the actual "John Q Public" citizens of most European countries about capitol punishment you might hear a very different story than their Burgomasters and lefties agitators.

A crime family, eh? Now, why doesn't that surprise me?
The Austrians will accept both sons as long as they lend their names the marketing of a childrens' book. /sarc
Note that you were fooled by the way BBC reported this information - which had to be their goal, given the language they used and style of presentation.
Arnold's name was removed AT HIS REQUEST. That is why it happened so quickly. He did not want them to get any publicity by threatening this in the future, as they have in the past.
Despite the way this article seems to spin it, the only stain I can see is that the moonbats (in America and various socialists that don't necessarily speak for all of the people of the town) had another chance to come out of the woodwork and the MSM used it as just another chance to bash another one of their favorite targets.
You had it right in post #14.
It's on the third page of this article:

.... One was to name the Stadium after the Crips, the gang that Williams founded, but that idea did not get widespread support. Another was to name it Hakoah, after an Austrian Jewish sports club that was banned after Hitler annexed Austria in 1938.
Oops, I meant to do a live link:

Hell, send ALL of Crips gang members convicted of murder live in with all these Austrian elitists who want to name the stadium after Tookie. I'm sure they'll have fun having to fed, house, and shelter gangbangers who are "victims" of the "racist" Americans. (Austria doesn't have many minorities anyway, being a fan of genonicide and all in the 30s)
