I remember TV coverage of riots that followed the Dan White sentencing. Hundreds of queers attacking the courthouse with bricks and other missiles, while trying to batter down the main doors.
But what stood out on the newsreel was the sound - not normal loud shouting, but an eerie highpitched mass screeching: "Eeeeee! Eeeeee!"
Yeah. Well what the Hell can you expect from this crowd?
