"We all had a collective feeling like we'd had enough of this kind of shit."

"We weren't going to be walking meekly in the night and letting them shove us around."

"it's like standing your ground for the first time and in a really strong way, and that's what caught the police by surprise."

"There was something in the air, freedom a long time overdue, and we're going to fight for it.

"the bottom line was, we weren't going to go away. And we didn't."

- Michael Fader
