The demonstrators, protesting American involvment in Cambodia and the recent Kent State University shooting deaths, sat at the base of the steps and began singing "Give Peace a Chance." A shouting march started when a man who identified himself as Maxwell Darks, an attorney, began yelling at the demonstrators: "Peace - with a clenched fist? You lie. You are hypocrites."...One of the demonstrators, Jerry Clemmons, stood up and demanded to know if the "military deictatorship in Cambodiathat's only been in power two days is the kind of liberty we're fighting for.".....Dave Coffman, president of the senate, made a brief speech to the crowd after Darks had finished."
