Well, let's see, how many errors can we find in the post I am replying to? 1. Erroneous to state that anti-war protestors were violent. Almost never was violence directed at another human being by an anti-war protestor. 2. Erroneous to state that protestors were all getting deferments. Men and women of all ages and from all walks of life protested the war, most of them who protested had no actual chance of being drafted. Student deferments were phased out. 3. Erroneous to state that the people beating up on protestors were "kids." They were pricks; a lot of them were the same type of psycho scum that try to become security guards because no police force or military will have them after a psychological test. 4. Erroneous attribution of motivation - they felt threatened by a challenge to authority and the status quo. Only really weak people feel the need to beat other people up to establish dominance. 5. The end of the war meant that no proles were being drafted, either. Duh. Interesting that you enjoyed watching defenseless people being assaulted for expressing their political beliefs. What happened to the constitutional right to free expression? Is it reserved only for people who want to say things you like to hear?
