People or Sheeple On JFK and 'The Whole Mess'

[Peter Lemkin]

Former State Trooper and worked with SS. Maybe there IS hope! But, given the way the military reacted, maybe there is NOT! I was at a number of demonstrations at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site and such nonsense went on. We were miles from the test site proper, outside the gate, peaceful, calm, and many arrested.....Another time at Dupont Circle in D.C. I was at an anti-Vietnam demonstration. We were near the S. Vietnamese Embassy, but peacefully assembled with signs doing nothing illegal [unless expressing one's opinions are illegal] with signs. I happened to be engaged in friendly conversations with a riot-gear armed policeman about things unrelated to the protest [things were that calm]. Suddenly, over his walkie-talkie I heard an order. He put down his faceshield, took out his truncheon and started to beat me and others. A tank just behind him pointed its canon directly in my face [about 3 yards from my face] and I was maced. Wonderful to live in a 'democracy' where one can freely express oneself and even petition the government for the address of grievances....not like in some nasty dictatorship where protest is not allowed or protesters beaten and mistreated. :ridinghorse:
