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.

Very true

Hmm.
Do I want to wait until someone is actually arrested for such a thing? Do I believe any part of that report was untrue or exaggerated?
The evidence is thin on the ground...but in my heart of hearts, I want it to go no further than this. And that is what I told my representatives, I think. I didn't like what I heard and I didn't want it to happen in my backyard.
If it was a knee-jerk reaction...well, I do remember Vietnam.
