Anti-War Demonstrators Storm Pentagon
Anti-War Demonstrators Storm Pentagon
"Violence at the Pentagon, more than 600 persons arrested, and the general feeling that everyone lost are the parts and sum of a two-day anti-Vietnam-War demonstration in the nation's capital." Washington DC Aerial shot protesters gathered outside the Lincoln Memorial. TLS crowd at Washington Mall, Washington Monument in BG. MS angry young white man being carted off by crowd on steps of Lincoln Memorial, young man yelling. MS anti-war protesters marching carrying banner that reads, "Support Our GIs. Bring (Them Home)." Aerial shots anti-war marchers crossing the Potomac River via bridge. TLS/MSs Military Police (MPs) attempting to contain the crowd outside Pentagon by forming protective line, hauling some unruly protesters inside. Panning TLS horde of armed (rifles affixed with bayonets) MPs descending from steps of Pentagon to reinforce others. TLS three men in white helmets taking away protester carrying American flag. MSs armed MPs forming protective line. MS anti-war protesters sitting in front of campfire at base of Pentagon steps, attempting to keep warm the day after. MSs Caucasian youth demonstrators at a sit-in, encircled by MPs. MCU young white man with beard & glasses, wearing suit with a carnation lapel. MS military police of a similar age to the protesters standing guard. Good dichotomy.
