Hey, the never been charged federal property offenders includes me.
Literally thousands of times in National Parks, National Forests, BLM lands, etc.
Thank you for your service honoring America and the freedoms it stands for. Ironic that Tricky Dick would so soon get caught dishonoring America and then have to resign in disgrace.
dick nixon held his National Honor America Day event to an almost totally bused-in audience of 4H Clubs and junior rotc warriors-to-be from all over the country. There were some who came on their own to hear Bob Hope as head cheerleader perform his It’s a Fun War routine and possibly an even smaller band of die hard republicans there to see their president dick. dick canceled last minute over security concerns; large scale police action against the First Annual D.C Smoke-In citizens had started at about 10 p.m. the night before.
He did appear by live video projected onto a movie screen.
I think we had the larger crowd, but that was from where I was standing and the tear gas may have affected the counting.
They were facing the Memorial, while we dirty hippies were more concentrated around the Monument and pretty much everywhere else.
I heard that it was the Jefferson Airplane who provided the truly amazing pot, but I don’t really know. It was late morning when people appeared in the trees with boxes shaped like pirate treasure chests maybe 8x12 at the base and 8 high and started throwing handfuls of joints pre-rolled in the first ever American flag papers.
In spite of the best efforts of dick and leo to ruin our party, great fun was had by all.
And
Here’s all Wikipedia had to say under Honor America Day
“Some people saw it as a political pro war rally and protested by jumping in the pool and chanting antiwar slogans.”
How dare they call us “some people”.
Here’s all that they said about the First Smoke-In
“The first YIP smoke-in was attended by 25,000 in Washington, D.C., on July 4, 1970. There was a culture clash when many of the hippie protesters strolled en masse into the nearby "Honor America Day" festivities with Billy Graham and Bob Hope.”
I’ve seen 88,000 people often enough to say without question that the dirty hippie side of the crowd was well over a hundred thousand; anyway, “25,000 “is a better mention than “some people”.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
