I thought that same exact thing! Definitely two syllables and not just one. But, I guess they had the benefit of listening to it through all their equipment and analyzing it before they decided what it said. But I agree with you, it sounded like "so weak" to me too.
It could have been "Dr. Jesse Fear". Horrible excuse for a human being! You can see him interviewed, and others at Pennhurst in the ground-breaking 1968 NBC10 Expose on Pennhurst State School by Bill Baldini: http://www.preservepennhurst.com/default.aspx?pg=26

But "So Weak" would fit the circumstances MUCH better!
At least, I recorded it. ,=D
That's actually a good point. It reminds me of one of the first few episodes of the 1954-5 "Sherlock Holmes," where there's the siren tune in the streets.
Yea, no one these days hurts themselves badly by throwing things. They get so riled up when they do, though. There's nothing wrong with hitting a wall or the sofa, but wrecking a public place is something I never did.
