In a demonstration staged by the student-run National Coordinating Committee to End the War in Vietnam, some of the first public burnings of draft cards in the United States takes place.
These demonstrations drew 100,000 people in 40 cities across the country. In New York, David Miller, a young Catholic pacifist, burned his draft card in direct violation of a recently passed law forbidding such acts. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation later arrested him; he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to two years imprisonment.

Remember when young people, not old, were the bleeding edge of protest? We have a lot to fix.
I wish women burning their bras and flashing their tits would make a comeback.
As a boomer (born in ’47), this was my first experience of how the jews took over the entire youth of our Nation — folks like Abbie Hoffman and jerry Rubin and bill ayers and bernadine dohrn and the rest of the far left/marxists that did so much to stir up discord and division among our youth … when all we wanted to do was get high and listen to the greatest rock ‘n’ roll in history …
The burning of draft cards against .gov conscription (kidnaping) into banksters’ wars against innocent foreigners was corruption of youth by Jews?
OK, 75-y.o. from 1947. You sound like you were senile by 35.

P.P.S.: You know why no one but this blog listens to you, old man? Because you’ve learned nothing in your 3/4 century of eating and shitting, so have nothing to teach.. You have wasted your life. Die. already. You’re already dead, anyway. Walking dead.
Fuck the military, unless it defends OUR borders and NO ONE else’s.
We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don’t take our trips on LSD
We don’t burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
