MODERATORS
When Kent State happened, more than 50% of the country supported the troops. Four unarmed students were killed and nine injured. That should have been a sign.
Then anti-war protesters (college students) were attacked by a bunch of construction workers (Hard Hat Riot). President Nixon congratulated the attackers.
I keep forgetting that the Watergate Scandal was the part other politicians cared about.
we gotta bring the sons of liberty back
Wow it's almost like no matter if protests are peaceful or violent the military will attack them anyway and blame the protesters anyway.
HMMMMMMM
For peaceful protestors, being attacked by the military is always a possible outcome, and one that correlates well with a successful movement.
that looks less like redcoats firing on protestors and more like that one turned-around protestor letting go a big fat ripper of a fart.
The toot heard around the world!
