Many years ago, back in the late 60's or early 70's I read a news story about a group of American protestors who filled the 'playing field' of a bull ring in Mexico. I assumed at the time they were there to protest the Viet Nam as that was more central in my life, even though I wondered why they were in Mexico. Later I figured it was the bull fight itself they were protesting.
The authorities ordered them to leave and they refused with the usual signs of solidarity, holding hands and arms and chanting about their determination to not yield.
The Mexican authorities who, it appears, were less tolerant of American protestors than we are here, opened fire on the crowd. The protestor's resolve dissolved and then ran for the exits in terror.
I've not been able to find any reference of this event on the internet, but then Al Gore's invention wasn't publicly available a that time.
If anyone can confirm that event, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
