30 Years Ago Today

I won't re-hash the story or my own involvement in it, except to say that it was a few glorious seconds followed by years of agony for 16 innocent men. They finally got through it in the end, but at a terrible price which was almost as bad as if they had gone to prison.
But there were those few seconds of glory when at long last there they were, the scum of the earth, with no big brawny policemen to protect them. Just them and us, and they had to bring it on--and the world knows what happened as a result.
Another thought I've always had about Greensboro--you saw what we're capable of doing when we're forced to defend ourselves against an unprovoked armed attack. So what could we do if we ever actually TRIED?
