you never saw this coming -- this was a complete shock?

right and I am the reincarnation of bozo the clown -- go cry elsewhere.

what could you do? I see many choices

1) take a timeout and ask the parents to relax and calm down.
2) tell them to coach and leave
3) bench the players whos parents/fans were being disruptive
4) pull the team if the parents didnt start behaving
5) tell the game management it was ok with you to remove disrputive parents
6) tell the officials its ok with you to assess a T because of the fans and hope that they get the message and shut up
7) embarass the fans that are doing this

You are lucky I wasn't officiating this game because after I warned you about your fans at this level I would have been issuing you T's everytime they crossed the line (along with an ejection of said fan) and after maybe 2 or 3 I would clear out ALL your fans or offer you a forfeit. Just what I would do in this level game.

BUt YOU HAD choices YOU CHOOSE to do nothing except whine -- if I had some cheese I would email it over to you

It sounds like your reaction is equal to that of the parents. It seems you're going to get mad, stay mad and react accordingly. Maybe number 1 and most likely number 5 are the only options. Don't punish the kids. Punish the fans. Issuing T's is out of the question. The kids most likely are already embarassed. Numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 would only make things worse. After you determine who needs to go just call a time out, tell game management, and don't start the game again until they're gone.
