Who's Old Enough To Remember Kent State?

I still vividly remember when the National Guard opened fire and killed a number of students. Not all were protesters but that's what happen's when shite gets to a boiling point.
I don't think we are too far away from another such event. It's going to take just one hair-trigger and then the military will turn these antifa into the Little Big Horn.
It's a shame that it appears that will be needed to stop the insanity.

I don’t think we will get to the same level of outrage here.
For one thing, the Covid crap means that you have a ton of people who are off the streets most of the time.
For another, these idiots have been burning down numerous major cities and been caught killing people.
This isn’t the “peace love dope” crowd of the 60s that was shielding the more violent revolutionary elements from the public eye.

They successfully sold Kent State as a second Boston Massacre.
That’s not going to happen today.

Kent State was far from a peaceful protest. The protesters threw bricks through downtown business windows and ransacked them. They also set the ROTC building on fire (where the National Guardsmen were staying) and cut the fire hoses so the fire couldn't be put out. Lastly, several hundred students surrounded eight guardsmen and started throwing bricks at them. I don't blame the guard for opening fire.

Yes. The left is praying for a second "Kent State" that they can politicize.

Present
Today’s calls and actions and methods have no resemblance to Kent State, none.
The true Civil Rights leaders of yesteryears would not sanction what we see today.

When I was in college in the 80s, I had a political science class taught by an aging liberal commie.
She was covering Kent State and was getting a little emotional about it. She thought it would be a good idea to try to guilt a response out of the class to confirm agreement with her point. Mind you, we were mostly dumbass 18 year old kids in the classroom, and this was > 10 years after the event. One baw right near me decided to chime in "those pinko hippies were breaking the law, and got what they deserved."
Teacher dismissed the class at that point, as she was literally shaking and crying. One of the first "melts' I actually saw. It was glorious.

I remember Kent State, and the awful C,S,N, & Y song that resulted from the incident.

It is presented as a peaceful protest.
Tight media control in those days (3 networks only, no cable) meant that the story was whatever they wanted it to be.
CBS, under Cronkite, had already declared after Tet that Vietnam was lost and was outright using their position to push the leftist POV.
Less sure of NBC and ABC at that time.
This is less of an issue today where decentralized media has made it easy to disseminate pictures, video, and text of what really happened.

I am old enough to remember it. I was 11 years old but I remember the news reports.

There were outside agitators at Kent State. Sound familiar?
Sad thing is one of the victims wasn't a part of the protest.
They were just walking to class and was hit by gunfire.

Those Kent State National Guardsmen were full on ready to go. They had “fixed bayonets”.

They so want one. Trump is smarter than that though.

you're obviously too young to have remembered it, it didn't hurt nixon politically that's why he beat mcgovern in a 49 state landslide and by over 22 million votes a little over a year later. as i said gallup polling indicated 60 percent of american's supported the guard killing those students.
kent state got reremembered in the late 80's as the lefties were actively cheering for the soviet union.

Nick Saban remembers : Saban has said that he & a teammate were supposed to go to the protests but changed their minds at the last minute, forgetting why. What if...............
