I did help organize a large Anti-War protest in Albuquerque in 1972 Look it up if you like. Yes we blocked I-25 and I-40 for over 12 hours but took great care to make sure there was no property damage or personal injury We were surprised at the number of truckers who decided to take part and at the number of Vietnam veterans who joined in. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for NM State police and Albuquerque city police who callously bludgeoned protesters causing serious injury to dozens. We called it off, at the advisement of Vietnam veterans, when we learned that both State and local police had been issued M-16 carbines and had full intent of using them to disperse protestors. Yeah, "God Bless our First Responders" Or as we said back then :"Fuck the Pigs"
