1. I noticed the guy in the white shirt standing behind the police

throwing rocks at the protesters. What a weak guy compared to the people standing in front on the other side, not hiding behind anything.

2. Okay, But ....

we don't do it this way here. If we try to throw stuff at BigBro and Set Streets on Fire here in the states, or demonstrate w/suicide bombers how's our cop state going to respond? Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground, and others back in the '60's used to protest like this, and it led to Kent State. Since then, We learned that you can't fight violence with violence, and that Real Bravery fights tyranny w/ persistent passive protests, otherwise it just begets more violence ...

3. Ah Kent State was Bill Ayers fault.

See, I always thought it was Nixon.

5. You bet yer ass it was Nixon.

He backed the Ohio Governor who sent armed reservists onto a college campus.

They shot unarmed men and women and nobody was ever brought to justice for those murders and maimings.

Bill Ayers caused the Kent State Massacre - what a joke.

7. Well ...

Man, that's weak dude, I though the post would get balls in an uproar ... Besides, I'm not a new member of the society; I was 18 in '68. What, Are all the old members in at this site recommending violent resistance? Sure, Nixonians were using people like the Ayers' of the day as an excuse to get down on the people and brand us, god forbid, all terrorists; and they're still doing the same thing today ... USA, Iran, Russia ... same f**king trick. Yeah, no sh*t it was nixon, but thanks for enlightening me anyway wiseman..

8. Well, when I was born...Eisenhower was working in the Oval Office.

I lived through Nixon. He was an ass.

He did end the war and opened relations with "Red" China, but he was otherwise an ass. He blazed new trails deep into paranoia territory. Nobody got further into that zone than Nixon. He did, however, set a new standard for domestic spying which Regan continued and Bush I took to new heights, but nobody can hold a candle to the trampling of the US Constitution that occurred under the Bush II/Cheney Regime. Cheney learned from Nixon, then perfected the methods and inflicted it all upon this nation ferociously.

While Nixon was nasty and paranoid, Cheney is the most pure form of Evil ever to set foot upon American soil.
