Dan White

From Metapedia

Dan White (September 2, 1946 – October 21, 1985) was a American-Irish San Francisco politician who assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and homosexual Harvey Milk in 1978.On November 27, 1978, White went to San Francisco City Hall to meet with Moscone and make a final plea to get his job back, (for which Milk had replaced him). After Moscone turned down his request, White shot and killed Moscone, then reloaded and walked over to Milk's office and shot Milk five times resulting in his death, the final shot made at very close range. He then fled City Hall and turned himself in at a police station where he had been an officer. The resulting conviction for manslaughter enraged San Francisco's gay community, which started the White Night Riots.

After serving 5 years of a 7 years prison sentence, White was paroled and moved to Los Angeles and in 1985 he committed suicide.
