To the 4 students killed at Kent State on May 4, 1970, may you continue
to rest in peace.

Peace? If they were acting peacefully, they wouldn't have been shot.
How many students who stayed in their rooms studying were shot that day?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm?



Yeah sure.....unarmed students deserved to be shot dead.

Where the hell is your head NOYB?

Two days before the shootings, the demonstrators burned down the ROTC
building, and then pelted the cops and firefighters with rocks, and slashed
the firehoses with knives.

Biker groups showed up, store windows were smashed, and shops were looted.
There was talk about "revolutionaries" showing up to destroy the campus and
city and tip off a violent political revolution in the US.


The Governor warned against the Demonstration on May 4th, yet they held it
anyhow. When the crowd was ordered to disperse, they ignored the demand.
Tear gas was used to disperse the crowd, but it was only thrown back at the
Guardsmen. A crowd of 1000 students pursued a retreating group of 70 armed
Guardsmen...and the Guardsmen opened fire.

WTF did they think would happen when they started pursuing *armed* Guardsmen
with rocks, tear gas canisters, and other projectiles?

It's sad that 3 of the 4 who were killed appear to have been "observers",
rather than participants. But the blood of those three is on the hands of
the 1000's of demonstrators who incited the defensive response from the
Guardsmen.
