The breakdown in "respect for authority" back then was because those in
authority no longer deserved respect. Whoever issued live ammunition to
those National Guard thugs at Kent State should have been put on trial.
There were plenty of people who should have stood trial. Did anyone go
to jail for burning down the buildings at the college? How about the
ones who assaulted the firemen who came to put out the fires?
That was what prompted the armed response in the first place.
1. My recollection is that it was the ROTC building that was set afire,
rather than "buildings." But my recollection could be wrong. No one was
charged with the arson.
It begs the question, why not? Any time you have arson the potential
for loss of life exists and when they attacked the fire department
that chance escalated.
Correct, but there's a difference between potential loss of life and
actual loss of life, esp. in a courtroom.
Did the arsonists do a walk through of the building to ensure that there
were not humans in the building before they set it a fire?
Which doesn't relate to the comment I made. Try again.
