Yes, and the National Guard fired on college students - how very American of them. Young people don't really realize what it was like then.
The Kent State shootings, also known as the May 4 massacre or Kent State massacre, occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. Four students were killed and nine others were wounded, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
Some of the students who were shot had been protesting against the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon announced in a television address on April 30. However, other students who were shot had merely been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.
There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of eight million students, and the event further divided the country, at this already socially contentious time, along political lines.
Ahhh, yes, the lyrics are going through my head right now, "four dead in Ohio......"

"Four young men and women had their lives taken from them while lawfully protesting this outrageous government action. We are going back to keep awareness alive in the minds of all students, not only in America, but worldwide…to be vigilant and ready to stand and be counted… and to make sure that the powers of the politicians do not take precedent over the right of lawful protest.">>
Hillary, did you ever get your question answered? I just can't wade through all the responses. My bloodpressure starts getting higher. LOL No joking! I started reading the first few responses, and was attempting to reply when could feel heart palpitations! LOL
Now, before I answer, I need to know more specifics about this bomber.....naw, just joking.
Um........you know, I really don't think so. In order for me to be in that house would imply that I KNEW them, was friendly, WANTED to have a relationship with that person. I'm sort of choosy about the company I keep. I've been in relationships with wrong people, they only brought me trouble.
"It's time to put the election behind us and the country in front of us. Barack Obama wasn't my choice, but come January 20th, he will be MY President.... I will not seek to see all
As I actually sip my coffee and read these posts (over 110 now) I feel like this post as well as so many here are like kids on a playground going back and forth about behavior that is irrelevant.
