Bill,
I don't believe the protestors deserved to be shot, but when I hear
people placing the blame for the tragedy entirely on the National
Guard, it makes me sick. Those guys were scared to death, and the
protestors were doing their best to make sure they stayed scared.

No, dummy, I'm not. I'm suggesting that the government in this
country
is sometimes no different than the government in the PRC. It kills
people when there is no reason for it.
Harry, you need to do some research into this incident. I do
believe the
shootings were justified. The police were shooting in self defense
against
people tossing fire bombs at them and attacking with machete type
weapons.
This is easily verified with the reports by the independent news
agencies
there, including your own government's agency who reported it for
Radio Free
Asia.

So the Kent State protesters who threw dangerous rocks, were also
justified in being shot down?


The protestors did not deserve to be shot at. 4 unarmed student
protestors were killed, 9 wounded. I don't care if rocks were being
thrown.

The blame goes to James Rhodes, governor of Ohio at the time, who sent
in the National Guard and to General Canterbury who ordered the Guard
members to lock and load their weapons. The rest is history and tragic.


But Harry and JimC say the Chinese deserved to be shot as they were
tossing things.

Sorry, Dummy, but my point was that the US government is no different than
the Chinese government: they both kill their citizens.




But if they are throwing things it is OK to shoot. I understand you.
