Well I attended an Anti Vietnam war rally in 1970. From the post of Richnorth his diapers may have been dirty that year.... LOL... I was on the quad, I saw every thing. I was not chased, beaten or arrested. But the flower retards were. LOL.... Stupid people walk in front trucks and get splatted. It was so so obvious. I just went with my roomates to see what was going on. The flower retards did not notice the dozen or guys dressed in white medical uniforms carrying sachels of large stones that were thrown at the Police. It was not one rock. Standard lies and deception of the hero of hanoi. You want to talk about bullshit interpretation. In January 1970, antiwar activists at N.U. were presented with two major, high-visibility opportunities. A General Electric on-campus recruiting session, heavily denounced in leaflets spread across campus beforehand, drew 200 demonstraters, both striking GE workers and students demonstrating solidarity with them. Two days later, on January 29, S. I. Hayakawa, the conservative, outspoken president of San Francisco State University, was to appear on campus. Student Council and SDS worked together to organize a responsible rally: silently blowing bubbles as Hayakawa spoke. Other protesters, hecklers, did not subscribe to the plan, but still the event went forward. Hayakawa greeted the audience with a black power salute, a provocative act that aroused but did not enflame the audience. Outside on the quad, however, disgruntled activists, barred from the filled-to-capacity auditorium, grew restless. Police, present at Knowles's request, were edgy. Out of the crowd a rock flew at a policeman, and the scene exploded into violence. Students were beaten by police and dragged across the quad or chased down Huntington Avenue and St. Stephen Street. Many took refuge in the women's dorms nearby or in St. Anne's Church. In the end, five students required hospitalization and thirty were arrested. Sympathetic faculty members spent the night bailing them out of jail. Nineteen students were eventually charged, but most of them were acquitted. numag.neu.edu
