We All Know What's Next Don't We ????
I'll give you a hint;

Google : May 4, 1970 + Ohio + National Guard.

Enough said.

1. Should we wear bulletproof vests and gas masks when we protest
on Sept 24-26 in DC?

3. Afraid vests won't help much.
They have a lot more fire-power these days, and will probably be shooting from choppers with rockets. They have been practicing in Baghdad.

4. So do you recommend putting off the Sept 24 trip?
Are protests too "Tienneman Square" in the US now?

5. What would be the response if Kent State happened today?
I'm guessing not much.

It'd be spun on Fox News and people would go back to watching 24-7 coverage of "White girl missing in Aruba (these are not the 50,000 black residents of New Orleans you're looking for)"

7. Looks like they're halfway there
Several residents of the impromptu shantytown recounted two horrific incidents where those charged with keeping people safe had killed them instead.

In one, a young man was run down and then shot by a New Orleans police officer, in another a man seeking help was gunned down by a National Guard soldier, witnesses said.

Police here refused to discuss or confirm either incident. National Guard spokesman Lt. Col Pete Schneider said "I have not heard any information of a weapon being discharged."

"They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told Reuters. "A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck's windscreen and they shot him dead."

Wade Batiste, 48, recounted another tale of horror.

"Last night at 8 p.m. they shot a kid of just 16. He was just crossing the street. They ran him over, the New Orleans police did, and then they got out of the car and shot him in the head," Batiste said.

The young man's body lay in the street by the Convention Center's entrance on Saturday morning, covered in a black blanket, a stream of congealed blood staining the street around him. Nearby his family sat in shock.

Rapes, killings hit Katrina refugees in New Orleans

10. I can see them shooting demonstrators
Why not? They think they can get away with anything. I thought of Kent State when I first heard about the march in Washington this month. I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised if shots were fired. I would be absolutely horrified but, not surprised.

Anyone else think it's time for a revolution?

To all the folks going to D.C., PLEASE TAKE CARE!!!
