OMG! I remember when we took over the main office at Teledyne and the cops shot tear gas at us.I think Teledyne was west of the campus, and we marched there and took it over! We broke down the door and did a sit-in there. I was a liberal then, but I have since grown up. Now, I find it hard to believe that I thought that way.

When the FBI showed up at my house, I knew this was serious.. Disrupting classes and sit ins in the Administration building meant trouble. But it was unconscionable that it was "business as usual", while students were being mowed down by the National Guard.

LOL at the newspaper reporting "illegal assembly" People, this is the time when USA and Russia built roads in Afghanistan. From Iran to Afghanistan road called the Hippie Trail, where Americans went to get high on Heroin in the 1960's. wake up people, now there is Heroin wars in Afghanistan; the USA, Iran and Russia fighting at the borders with drug trafficking and the same time excuse to steal our tax money and use for war expenses. Warlods and druglords control USA, Russia and Iran. Wake up

i went to high school in the mid 70's. all this stuff was over by then, except for me. i was the only one in that entire school who dared defend Native rights! i can still hear all the insults and ridicule. ignorance towards the Native community was thick as concrete back then! still is among government! those fascist no nothings!

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Why can't my school be like this now???

[DerailAmnestydotcom]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 Because Los Angeles is nothing like this now. America is not as financially prosperous, and CSUN is largely attended by illegal aliens and the children of current and former illegal aliens. If you could magically transport the student body of Cal State Northridge in 1968 to present day So. Calif., most would probably move out of this state as soon as they graduated ... just like most of them have left CA now that they are entering their retirement years.
