I worked on the Hill during the Vietnam War. No non violent or friendly hippies came to protest. One of the women I worked with was physically attacked by protesters in the Cannon rotunda when she verbally told them not to climb a statue.
On the May day demonstration when they tried to close down Washington, I was ornery enough to declare there was no way someone would tell me where I could go. There were Marines with rifles and in battle gear every 8 feet on both sides of the 14th Street Bridge. Bill Ayres group planted a bomb in the men's bathroom in the senate side of the Capitol where the likely victim was a tourist. they bombed homes, robbed banks, kidnapped and raped an heiress.
The Jan 6th protest was such a joke compared to what the left did in those days, and the Members of Congtess I remember from those days are total hypocrites.
I also loved the music, but I worked at the tip of the spear of the hippie movement. I witnessed what they did to Veterans of the war. Now those same people are in charge in Washington and they are as vicious as I remember.
