John L. Springs, a technician at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, said "We're going to smash [Davis] for the lies he tells," leading the protestors to chant, "Davis, you liar, we'll set your ass on fire...
...good. Cardiac-arrest time-the moment when some kids in the audience begin to chant "Fall! Fall!
