Since the 1960′s, Americans have expressed their First Amendment right to free speech in great numbers previously unseen. Civil right’s protests, Anti-War protests, anti-abortion protests, pro-this and anti-that protests. Most are peaceful, or at least relatively so, others lead to arrests, property damage, and even a few deaths, the Kent State Massacre being a sad example of the results of an overanxious government to quell the protests.
