On May 4, 1970 the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed students protesting America´s invasion of Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were wounded. The incident triggered national outrage in a country already divided over the Vietnam War. In the days that followed more than four million students rose up in dissent across 900 campuses, generating the only nationwide student protest in U.S. history. Fearing civil unrest, President Nixon was taken to Camp David for his protection.

The 7th Inning Stretch

This is the Iraq War Peace Please Protest in Washington, DC.  I would say that I could easily exchange footage from any of the other 7 years protest and pretend to have been here except that most of the other 7 were larger. 

There is an incident in this video that clearly demonstrates why this type of "resistance" will never accomplish anything.  See if you can find it.

Berkeley Mario Savio Celebration

DOWNLOAD

An intervention during the depoliticized, sanitized commemoration of
the 45th Anniversary of Mario Savio’s famous speech. "We will not
permit the museumification of Berkeley’s radical past, especially now,
as we enter into a new cycle of struggle. The Free Speech Movement is
not a way to sell coffee, nor is it a rhetorical sop the administration
can use to pacify the existing movement."

U.C. Berkeley Occupation

On November 20th, 2009 students occupied Wheeler Hall at the University of California, Berkeley campus. They locked themselves into the second floor of the building and called for an end to the continued fee increases, the re-hiring of laid-off workers, and other demands stemming from the University's ongoing assault on the very nature of a public education.

Before long hundreds and then thousands of supporters had gathered outside the building to support the occupiers, forming picket lines and challenging the police at every opportunity. All exits to Wheeler Hall were blockaded by supporters to prevent the occupiers from being arrested, while inside the police hammered the barricaded doors and threatened the students with arrests, beatings, and felonies.

However, after twelve hours of occupation it had become clear that the University had to back down. If the UC police had attempted to drag the student activists out of the building a riot surely would have ensued, and the police were forced to allow the occupiers to walk out into the cheering crowd after only being cited with misdemeanors.

While their specific demands were not met,
students are hailing this as a major victory, the first round in a new movement for free education and in opposition to the government's policies of forced austerity and privatization.

The Peoples March Against the Greedy 20

This being the only permitted action in dissent of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh; it is, of course, full of great speeches and fun signs.

I realized after the fact that the organizers of the March had agreed to lead the 10 thousand plus participants by the nose away from the convention center after the protest by claiming to have another locations for speeches however the only speaker of note at the 2nd location was Cindy Sheehan.  I'm truly sorry Cindy but I did not film your wonderful speech because my mouth had food in it for the first time that day and I had not slept the night before.  Cindy's speech was , of course, brilliant; but not worth leaving the downtown area to hear.  

This protest should have just sat down in the street where we were until ..say.. Tuesday.  Haven't we learned anything from the Ukraine?
