I doubt you have any idea what Ronald Reagan did or did not do. Former US Presidents had aided all manner of evil leaders. Stalin in WWII. Such arguments are really ignorant outside of the full context of events at the time.

I attended a rally against SI Hayakawa North Eastern University. I was just interested in what was going on. I had no desire to hear him speak. I was an engineering student and politics was bullshit. But the rumor was there would be a riot. I took up a position inside the entrance to the Snell library. It was elevated and gave a clean view of the entire main quadrangle.

I saw the confrontation developing. I witnessed several your wise SDS friends who came dressed as medical personel. They started the yelling. Then when it reached a good volume the opened their medical bags and took out rocks and bricks and stated hurling them over the head of the students in front of them at the line of police who were standing making no threats.

This caused the police to react. With honest legal cause. Your friends were creating a deadly threat. A half brick can kill. Many students were trampled and injured as the police cleared the quadrangle. So that was the scum who educated you in the American way of free speech and assembly. I saw it all. All caused by your counter culture buddies.

Bricks and sarin are the wisdom of you and Sadam. Reason and debate are the wisdom of Reagan and I.
