How many Anti-War Protestors have been assaulted?

[JanMichael]

As in beaten by Bikers, spit on by "mothers", or shot?

Either in the Vietnam period or in the last couple of years?

I know that four got shot in Ohio a few years back.

Why don't we all use that fact when we call into radio talk shows?

Why isn't that an American Media Mantra?

Do I have to explain it?

1. donno about many specific cases...

except one boy, british actuially, he was pretty young, like 12 or so, political prodogy... spoke at rallies, protests, ect. only problem was he was relentlessly teased by his classmates at school. he eventuially hung himself over how badly he was ostracized. horrible story.

People in the Vietnam anti-war movement were killed. beaten and busted in large numbers and the fight for civil rights was even more bloody. "Hippy" bashing was a (government sanctioned) national pasttime.
