I reckon that the purist street photog would have taken an OM1 or 2 with 35/2.8 or 40/2 (if you're feeling lucky). I am surprised that you took a fully auto camera with an electric winder :>).

In Gothenburg, during the EU-riots this summer, I used a 4T, 50/1.8, 24/2.8, 100/2.8. (Don't own a winder) I was for three days really caught in the middle of chaos, cobblestones flying through the air, policehorses smashing people into the walls, dogs biting demonstrants and eachother, and - finally- the tragic shooting of three young men. I was there mainly as one of 25 000 peaceful demonstrants, and for performing a play, but of course taking pictures became my main occupation after a while. (Wouldn't be on this list otherwise :-))
Got some nice pictures that were used at an exhibition over the happening.
What I wanted to say: an auto camera is pretty handy to have if you want to take a picture of a policeman beating up a 16-year old girl and many things at the same time are happening all around you.
