I agree, and they want to oppress the populace and take, take, take everything away from the rest of us.

They want to take from the poor and give to the rich! Robin Hood in reverse.

Actually if you think about it, it was very turbulent times. We lost a lot of people to violence.

All to gun violence, guess it really wasn't so different after all
We had a bullshit war back then, and we have a bullshit war now.

@MikeFlora Those were single murders then . Today we have mass shootings , in schools , churches , and other public places . It's worse .

@MikeFlora Not to mention that JFK had to deal with the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis and tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union because of this. There was a possible WWIII looming at that time.

@balou Yes I remember the fear I felt over the Bay of Pigs incident , even though I really didn't really fully understand what was going on . Dad had won an assignment to GTMO , and just weeks before we were to pack and go there , Castro , whom the US was backing , overthrew Batista . Things went downhill from there . Castro was also being backed by Russia , and they set up missles in Cuba aimed at the US .
