Assassin

The Resume

    (September 2, 1946-October 21, 1985)
    San Francisco Board of Supervisors
    Murdered San Francisco mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk (November 27, 1978)
    Found guilty of manslaughter in what was dubbed 'The Twinkie Defense' (May 21, 1979)
    Committed suicide (October 21, 1985)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was depressed.
    He was a homophobe and opposed a gay rights bill, which left him in dispute with gay city supervisor Harvey Milk.
    He assassinated Mayor Mocone and gay Supervisor Milk, partly because of their support of gay rights.
    He was sentenced to only 7 years in prison by reason of temporary insanity brought on by eating too much junk food (yeah right).
    As a result of his light verdict, San Francisco gays rioted at San Francisco's City Hall.
    He got away with murder!
    He is one of the most hated figures in the history of gay rights.
    He shares the name Danny White, with the former Dallas Cowboy quarterback.

Why he might not be annoying:

    As city supervisor, he promised to rid San Francisco of 'radicals, social deviates, and incorrigibles.'
    He resigned from his job on the Board of Supervisors in 1978 partly because the pay was too low.
    He had a hard time finding work after being released from prison on parole (1984).
    He committed suicide using a garden hose hooked to a car's exhaust pipe (1985).
