kyburgWelcome back to the Nixon Years.
Check This Out. A peaceful protest of Bush speaking at a high school commencement in Ohio sparks a repressive response from everybody from the school police to the Secret Service. Shoot. All these folks are doing is "turning their backs" when asked to stand up for the President.
Gee weeds, it's just like Governor Reagan again. Not President. Oh, no. We had the jerk right where Gray Davis is now when the Vietnam protests heated up in the late 60's. Can't have that - he then closed the college campuses. Period. Protest that!
Not a thing was thrown, not a gun or weapon was found...and not a word was spoken. Give me a break.
Looking for more of a middle ground report...but this is just scary enough to begin with. Sheesh.

Addendum
Date: 2002-06-17 04:25 pm (UTC)I would ask you to examine and consider the ramifications of the action taken against the participants of a high school commencement in Ohio over the weekend.
Let me quote the one eyewittness account - it's unfortunate that he wishes to remain anonymous:
-------------
-snip- (Sent the eyewittness account previously noted)

If only a fraction of this report is true, how much more frightening does it have to get?
I ask your support in seeing that this kind of civil abuse never reaches our district. And that is is clearly identified as wrong for any part of our country.

Two of those three people are going to tell me to get stuffed. Oh, well.
