The White Night Riots erupted when White's conviction was announced. Instead of first degree murder, he was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter.

This is excellent: Song and album concept coming with history lessons. Although I knew about these murders, and lived in San Francisco for more than a decade, I had not realized White got off on manslaughter. Also, this video shows images of a city that was just so diverse and liberal in its feel. The City seems so conservative now, I can't even picture it having a gay mayor again. It's all about money now. I caught only the tail end of the glory days.12 years ago
