If the one you speak of had a Ricky Ricardo mustache (hey, it was still in down there) then yes, I am guilty, "I am Pineapple Face man"...
I dont know what was more interesting, the tear gas, the the bullets flying, and/or trying to get home from work avoiding arrest.
It was such a downer once it all came to an end. We had been on a full rush for so many years (starting well before 1987).
