If Russ Miller reads this - Mike Mirra says hello. Little did we know that night we all went to the senior prom may 8, 1964 that your brother Jeff would be a National Hero forur years later. In 1972 I was a schoolteacher in Tampa, Florida & I picked up a kid's history text in my homeroom & there was Jeff's picture & I realized that he had become part of America. In some way, ifhe is looking down, he must be proud they his efforts are amajor event in American History.

@jtravis282 As Much As Things Change They Remain the Same

the only consistent is, we've been down this road many times throughout history, and have not yet learned from our mistakes. although there are many countries with different views then ourselves, we are still one world,

have a good evening, I'm going to bed

@jsJavaScript They weren't in power until 75. but I do believe they existed prior to that time. Wiki will have to do.

" the revolutionary struggle from the initiation of the Khmer Rouge insurgency in 1967–68 to the fall of the Lon Nol government in April 1975"

"Between 1969 and 1973, Republic of Vietnam forces and U.S. forces bombed and briefly invaded Cambodia in an effort to disrupt the Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge"

@jtravis282 Pol Pot (Democratic Kampuchea). was from 76 to 79 and was not even a factorat the time, get with the time line.

@jsJavaScript " reacting to nixon's announcement of the invasion of cambodia"

To fight the Khmer Rouge, the communist group that went on to kill around 2 million. The Killing Fields.

@jtravis282 Your're goddamn right it should have never happened!

@jtravis282 as I recall there were protesters all over the united states doing the same thing, reacting to nixon's announcement of the invasion of cambodia, you must remember this also stood on the heals of the upcoming trial of those involved in the The My Lai Massacre where 347– 504 unarmed citizens in South Vietnam, all of whom civilians and a majority of whom were women, children ( babies) and elderly people.were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, and mutilated. wikileaks = puppyshit

The protesters were told for days to disperse, but they wouldn't. Instead they threw rocks and bottles. This is what happens when you break the law, you put yourself and the innocent in danger. A tragedy that should have never happened.
