Think of the protests at the Pentagon in 1967 detailed in the non-fiction book, by first person observer and participant Prize winning novelist Normal Mailer?
HOW many stormed the Pentagon
approx. 30K
How many were arrested?
approx 700
mostly for "tresspassing?"
"Most of those arrested were charged with minor offenses like trespassing, resisting arrest, or disorderly conduct.
Here are some key points regarding the aftermath:
Charges and Sentencing: The majority of those arrested received relatively light sentences or fines. Many were released on bail or personal recognizance shortly after their arrest.
Legal Outcomes: Most charges did not result in lengthy jail times. The focus was often on fines or short-term detention.
Notable Cases: While there might have been individuals who faced more severe consequences due to prior records, repeated offenses, or other complicating factors, it was not standard for protesters to be held for years on simple trespassing charges from this event.
Historical Context: This protest occurred during a time of significant social and political upheaval in the U.S., with many demonstrations against the Vietnam War. The judicial response to such protests varied widely, but long-term imprisonment for trespassing was not typical."
In other words, it did not happen.
57 Year anniversary TODAY
Riot at the Pentagon.
They were leftist, communists, Hippies, Yippies and anarchists. Is that why light sentences?
Not saying that was wrong, but just saying.
Looks like the riot that day was bigger than j6?
