Hmmm - I lived in Wash DC during both the riots and during all of the anti-war demonstrations until I entered the military - and I can tell you with no hesitation that there was lots of blood in those demonstrations - I was in the middle of the moratorium demonstrations when cops came at crowds with nightsticks hitting any head that was in their way - and in most cases drawing blood
I also still have the image of the huge machine gun nests set up on the steps of the capitol building to prevent demonstrators from entering the building
Of course this completely neglects the people that were killed by Natl Guard troops in Ohio - real bad memories
