GUEST of the so-called Radical Left:

I heard this shit back in the Sixties. I believed some of it then and I believe some of it now.

But the "Revolution" died on May 4, 1970, in a hail of bullets at Kent State. Some days earlier, a similar hailstorm had occured at Jackson State.

Suddenly, all the "Radicals" realized that hey, those police and National Guardsmen and soliers use REAL BULLETS!!! When they hit you, can be wounded or even KILLED DEAD!!

Suddenly, it wasn't fun anymore.

Yeah, some kept it up for a while afterwards. But it was effectively as dead as four in Ohio.

Others of us decided that if what we believed was to succeed, maybe guerrilla warfare was the way. So we have worked towards the same ends in other ways, avoiding confrontation, slipping in through other doors.

Ever see the results of a .30 caliber rifle bullet, GUEST? I have. It's ugly.

If you want to go to Boston and protest and scream, have a good time. But remember that it's REAL tear gas, those are REAL clubs, and the cops have REAL bullets.
