Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…


Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

A grand jury indicted five guardsmen on felony charges: Lawrence Shafer, 28, and James McGee, 28, both of Ravenna, Ohio; James Pierce, 30, of Amelia Island, Florida; William Perkins, 38, of Canton, Ohio; and Ralph Zoller, 27, of Mantua, Ohio. Additionally, Barry Morris, 30, of Kent, Ohio; Leon Smith, 27, of Beach City, Ohio; and Matthew McManus, 28, of West Salem, Ohio, were indicted on misdemeanor charges. The guardsmen claimed to have fired in self-defense, testimony that was generally accepted by the criminal justice system.

Ohh my... This is so cursed

The only thing I learned about this in school is that the protests turned violent, and people were killed, as if it were the fault of the victims.

And now we see similar things happening again across the nation.

Any progress we perceive is simply smoke and mirrors to keep us placated.
