The Kent State shootings basically took the fun out of the

the anti war movement would have never happened. Protests were
being treated as a party. The shooting made folks wake up.

And that is not terrorism. It was a lawful use of force.

Lawful my ass! -- no order to shoot was given, several of
those killed were not part of the demenstration, merely
walking to class and hit by "errant" bullets


Send button stuck? You were wrong in all three posts btw.

OK follows a long cut and paste resulting from a google
search "Kent State 1970" Suggest you read it in detail

Hell sonny boy..I was there. As a interested bystander less than 5
days after the riots ended.
I was also at the 1968 Democratic Convention. You were where exactly?

I was at work -- my 2nd son was born May 8, and 5 weeks
later I drove by the campus. After day 2 what was there to
see? Also as to the 68 convention, I just happened to work
with people who worked the press service. I worked the 76
Republican convention myself and take credit for the slogan
"Ford puts us on the Dole". It didn't take, but the press
people got a yuck out of it.

I was conservative like you until Kent state, then my eyes
were opened to the corruption of Nixon and Kissinger. Nixon
was finally caught -- I'm still waiting for Kissinger to be
called to answer for "Crimes against humanity"
