David Lance Goines

From Portable 202

Goines' account of a protest is shocking. If so many people were against the government, shouldn't it have been obvious that they had a good idea? Hundreds of college kids getting shuttled from protest to an army barracks... really? Wouldn't it be easier for police to disperse the group instead of charging every single one of them, imprisoning them in an army barracks until bail could be paid? This is the signs of a tyrannical, power-hungry government. I can only hope that the current counterculture will have an easier time than these poor people, who had to deal with all the bureaucratic red tape. However, if this did happen again today, I doubt the governemnt would get away with it.
