Well, I'm in Chicago and I just saw this on tape. I have to say, your response is more measured than mine would be.

They endagered the lives of peaceful protesters. There was not any remote reason for them to act this way. Look, you're in a small, liberal community. Certainly you can raise some noise here. I encourage you to go door-to-door, go around the campus, go into the community, and NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS. EVER EVER EVER. Everyone who did this needs to be fired. Get ahold of your parents and have them scream bloody murder. Contact your representatives and scream bloody murder. Hold the mayor accountable. Get one who will get rid of the type of scum who would do this. Find out when parents and potential students will be there and let them know about this. Get ahold of some alumni. Tell visitors that if they are against this, they should not be spending their money there. Go outside the campus bookstore and let people know where they can get cheaper prices online. Boycott anything on campus. Scream to the city council. Sit in at the dean's office.

Make their name mud-both the city and the university.

This is not normal, people. This belongs in Peru or China, not in the United States. Lesser things have happened here, and I assure you that I made noise. But a small group of people doesn't have the power to control our community like you do. Don't EVER let them forget that they did this to you.

My two cents. Sorry if I'm judging the situation without being there, but America is counting on you. We need you to stand up and fight here, folks. It would have been done in the 60's and it needs to be done today.
