Excerpt from the above mentioned LATimes article:
“In the last seconds of his life, #GeorgeMoscone poured a drink for his killer & prepared to give him a pep talk. There’s life after politics, he began telling #DanWhite. You have a family to worry about. It will all work out.
“The mayor had no way of knowing that the man standing before him carried a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 under his suit coat.
