7 At this point the crowd, consisting of approximately
250 to 300 persons, slowly began in very small groups to leave
the room. It appeared that some of the audience Rad other
he things to do and were leaving after approximately one hour of
HOFFMAN's talk.
Approximately 200 persons remained until the end of
HOFFMAN's presentation and he appeared tired toward the end of
the program, and indicated that the lack of enthusiasm was
displeasing to him. He somewhat abruptly started to remove
his tan leather pullover and as he put on a black leather
jacket stated, "Okay, the freak show is over. See you on the
atreets this summer. Wear your helmets."
HOFFMAN then left the stage and started to exit the
room. He was surrounded by four or five unkempt youths and
walked into the hallway. There he spoke to a rather flamboyantly
attired couple, and walked with this couple down the hallway and
apparently left the building.
HOFFMAN's speech was punctuated with excessive use
of profanity. His presentation was a rambling, constructionless
monologue a8 opposed to a formal speech.
