I can testify that Fine was telling the truth about how people viewed their own motivations. The small, homemade "bomb" was dropped in the middle of an empty tarmac and was so incompetently made that it failed to explode. People in Madison at the time thought of it as a prank with an antiwar twist. Later that spring, the killings at Kent State permanently altered the political climate. By that summer, many people, like Armstrong and Fine, were ready to justify an escalation in violence for the antiwar movement. Only with the death of Robert Fassnacht did the movement pull back from the insanity of that violence.Andrew Himeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556387518865629670noreply@blogger.com
