Akin to Judy Garland's death or Adam Lambert losing last night's American Idol finale -- damn you to hell, Bill O'Reilly! -- 30 years ago today the White Night riots erupted after supervisor Dan White was given a lenient verdict for murdering supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone.

The White Night riots, for those of you not familiar, sparked when a laughably lenient ruling (i.e., voluntary manslaughter) was handed to Dan White for the murders of supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone.
