“When did that happen? New Orleans? I’m confused.”


That wasn’t New Orleans, those people were victims that needed help and were taken to or showed up at places to be fed and housed.

I’m talking about Washington DC 1971. Imagine arrests of over 12,000 Americans and the 82nd Airborne and U.S. Marines in full force by the thousands.

Imagine this “At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House.”

And no charges were ever filed? Being 1971, was this part of the protests for Vietnam?

Read about the Stop the Government Protests in DC in 1971.

You must be thinking deja vue all over again.
