It’s Not 1970 Anymore

I don’t know if it is the flouride in the water or disassociation from too much television gazing. But in 1970, on the UCLA campus, cops would not have strolled into a library and abused a student, not without a helmeted riot squad armed with batons backing them up.

On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard felt so intimidated by agitated demonstrations on the Kent State Campus, they opened fire and killed four students.

Now?

Students look on, as if they are watching the tasing of a fellow student on television.

Prior to the shooting of students at Kent State, the governor of Ohio, Jim Rhodes, said the police and the Guard were “up against the strongest, well-trained, militant, revolutionary group that has ever assembled in America.”

Now?

They’re up against SpongeBob SquarePants.
