...import of these facts is that (a) the incidents last week created a serious danger of violence, and (b) the underlying problem of tensions between gay people and others may be a severe and deep-rooted one.

Those in danger could smell the gas, and there were comparatively safe places to flee, refuges that would be much harder to find in the event of radiation release.
