Students lining up for free lights for their bikes had come to the plaza for a different reason...some chose to look the other way when confronted with the scene, causing the Grannies to weep anew

The students who wore orange jumpsuits are happy to breathe free and stretch their legs after many minutes of kneeling.

Warlord Don should be sent to Gulag Guantanamo

Stanford Univ. should not be allowed to offer any honor for the ex-Pentagon Warlord(aka the Don who never met a carpet bomber he didn't like!) Instead, progressives should press that the disgraced Sec'y of OFFENSE must be sent to the World Criminal Court, to be properly tried as a war criminal--along with all his NeoCON cohorts--responsible for the deaths of over 1 MILLION innocent Iraqi civilians.

No Rest for State-sponsored terrorists!
