Such were the chants heard at today's 2nd Annual Kent State Anti-War Committee Rally and March. The rally was good, but the march was better. We marched from the plaza in the middle of campus, then down one of the main roads running through campus and backed up traffic for about a quarter mile.
We then stood in front of the ROTC building and chanted and yelled some more and taped anti-war pictures on the front door. Then we lined Main St., opposite several police cars, and continued to spread the good word.
We were met mostly with peace signs, waves, smiles and honks. Some people, however, don't enjoy peace as much as the rest of us and gave us the finger but never had the audacity to look at us.
Most of the police cars left, and we started to sing "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" and they pulled the paddy wagon around just to scare us. The only cop car that stayed the entire time was the one with a male cop driving and a female cop in the passenger seat video taping us. They were parked in the Wendy's parking lot. Then, ingeniously, two brave souls took a large banner across the street and stood directly in the way of the video camera. We continued to chant and sing protest songs and other songs and being merry. Below are the pictures I took with my phone because I forgot my camera. Enjoy!
