Could you imagine this happening today? These students would be subdued with tazers, pepper spray, authoritative stereo types, boy bands and watter boarding.

@richardcorsale

you should move into prison, where you will be safely tucked behind bars and all you have to do is give up your freedom. Pepper spray those who would protest against the killing machine, that THEY were called to die for, not the fat suits that gained, financially and politically from the nam war. you are what is badly wrong and sick about america. Stick to lipitor and viagra. You lost your understanding of freedom long ago, now you MUST do as the doctor says.

@tunbev thanks! Including Green Peace? Maybe some of these students later BECAME hippies; but, this movement was an intellectual one, as is usually the case in civil matters. That's why at the onset of war, one of the first populations to be murdered and/or arrested is the intellectuals. Of course there are workers' movements, which might be called "blue collar." I'm curious at to how the geek, Bill Gates, was inspired by the hippies? :)

@blueguitarblue It was a hippie movement in San Francisco but that moverment spawned the technology from the minds of Bill Gates, Steve Job etc... It also spawned the green movement and natural food movement....

I was there... it was all about marxism.. killing anyone who didn't agree with bill ayers and the marxists... they had a plan, and now, here we are with their plan being implemented... my fear.. that too many people have lost their morals and have no ethics.. that they are self absorbed and lazy... that's what bill ayers gave the youth

It irritates me when people think this political awakening was a "hippie movement." I imagine some of them later wore flowers in their hair; but, these were bright intellectuals. The seeds had been planted by Rosa Parks and blacks who refused to drink at a "colored" fountain. But, It was the Berkeley students that ignited the various movements: black, feminist, and vets. Yeah Farakhan! White men and women risked arrest, violence, and death to free others from bondage.

@Microglia1 its better than those patriotic true Americans that oppressed the people of cuba, honduras, guatemala, iran, bolivia, dominican republic, panama, egypt, jordan, haiti

Should have fuckin floored it through those ass holes.

@rastafari220 Drop acid? They what the Man wants you to do! There is nothing more pathetic and easy to control than a druggie. Look up the history of LSD.

These fucking hippies are the reasons why Cuba and Vietnam, two beautiful countries, are now both communists with over 100 million people suffering.

Absolutely shocking as to how the UC students protested for five years over the simple fact of freedom of speech and were denied. Even worse, the U.S. government didn't step in and bail them out (as what my Mom said, they can bail the big banks and Michigan car companies but they can't exercise first amendment rights?!?). And to think: This would never happened had it been for President Kennedy getting killed in Dallas-because when it comes to the 60's, it goes back to 'that day in November'.
