Thousands of demonstrators marched down Main Street in Champaign-Urbana, waving banners and shouting.
They were followed by hundreds of police, there to keep order.
Afterwards, the news condemned the demonstrators for smashing store windows.
Everybody believed it, except for the peaceful demonstrators, and the police who actually broke the windows.
This is a true story, according to Harry Demarest’s good friend R.B., who watched it all from the rooftops.
