vietnam day committee, berkeley, 1965




real event happened in 1965. the left wing anti war students and yippies got together on adeline street in between oakland and berkeley. during jerry rubin's speach, sonny barger and 7 of hells angels ran into it and started beating up all the hippies. hells angels did not like their attitude because they loved their country, and they had a respect for all the soldiers who was fighting in vietnam. they thought that this protest were totaly rude action to them.
hells angels have a point. im not saying that i support wars. if there are at least 2 people existing in this world, fight happens. one for all, all for one. hells angels showed the other way of how to love their country without having a peace sign or flowers. i salute them.

by the way, this work is pretty big. imagine all of the heads are real size. sharpie on wood.

i really wished that jerry rubin got beaten up by sonny. it would be such a lovely memorable day of american history.
