Although this shot is technically weak, there was something so classic about the Berkeley crowd that I couldn't trash it.
Although I myself lived and worked in Berkeley in 1962-1963, by the time of the 1969 Berkeley People's Park fracas I had lived in Riverside for 6 years. I was appalled at then-Governor Reagan's heavy-handed tactics, most likely hatched by his Chief of Staff Ed Meese (who had been a law-and-order Alameda County prosecutor earlier in his career).
When the word went out that there would be a protest two weeks after the initial "Bloody Thursday", I flew up to Oakland to participate and show my support, an act that would have probably caused Ed Meese to call me an "outside agitator".
I was greatly amused 15 years later when Ed Meese was forced to resign from his position as President Reagan's Attorney General as a result of the WedTech scandal:

As Groucho Marx (and Dear Abby) put it so well, "Time Wounds All Heels".
This is a vintage 1980s t-shirt that’s still in good condition. It’s made from a 50-50 cotton-polyester blend and it’s an adult XL size.
As to the origins of this t-shirt, it started when Jeff Nelson of Dischord Records and Minor Threat fame printed up posters that attacked Reagan Administration Attorney General Edwin Meese for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal and also championed far-right causes. He recruited various people to wheat paste the posters throughout Washington, DC and they received media attention. Nelson later printed t-shirt versions of those posters and they were sold in various DC-area stores.
The front of the shirt has the reproduction of the “Experts Agree! Meese is a Pig” poster while the back has a long screed that explains why Meese deserved to be called a “pig.” (Which included Meese being investigated for his roles in the Iran-Contra and Wedtech scandals, Meese urging the Supreme Court to abolish the Miranda Rights where the police are required to informed arrested citizens of their rights, and encouraging public officials to disobey any Supreme Court decisions they disagreed with.)
