The two couldn't be more different. The Kent State shootings were justified to preserve freedom. In Iran, the deaths were to prohibit freedom.

Yes, if it wasn’t for the shootings at Kent State, we might find our freedoms threatened by an over-reaching Federal government.

National Guard units firing on unarmed students is NEVER justified! There was no freedom in danger other than those students' rights to protest.

Oh, please.
Shooting those protesters at Kent State didn’t preserve anybody’s freedoms. The only freedom at stake was the freedom of assembly and free speech. It was a mistake and a tragedy and made martyrs out of the demonstrators.
It’s probably legit to compare the two events. Demonstrations, passion and tragedy on both counts.
