Are mostly very young people, coming out of school and finding out there is no future for them. Unlike myself, who got to live the American dream and watched helplessly as the 1% bastards sent it to India and China to fatten their wallets, these kids see their whole lives ahead of them with no future, and unlike us tired old farts, say "NO! I WILL LAY MY BODY DOWN BEFORE I WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO THIS"! And they are paying for it - in broken bones, in burned out maced eyes, in jail time. And to those who dare call themselves progressive and mock these brave people...you are not even worthy of derision Go pat yourselves right on the yellow stripe that runs down your backs.
