Yes, firing indiscriminately into a crowd of people & killing some students who were guilty of the horrific crime of *gasp* walking to class was a terrific idea.
That must be why Nixon's own Scranton Commission declared that the Guard's actions were "unneccesary, unwarranted, and inexcusable".
You probably thought Waco & Ruby Ridge were good ideas too.
Yah, completely innocent, there had only been violent protest for several days...violent enough to bring out the National Guard. Then these so called innocents stroll along between armed men and a violent crowed. If they were innocent, and I'm sure some were, they were stupid. It was probably just couple professional agitators that through the first brick, but they were surrounded by useful idiots who went along with it. And, they deservedly got shot. In my less then humble opinion, throwing bottles, rocks, or bricks is potentially lethal force and should be answered with a bullet.
For three decades we've been asked to believe that weekend warriors are going to drop the hammer of a .30-06 into a crowed they know is innocent. I don't buy it, these guys were provoked. Gee, the hippies only peaceably burnt down the ROTC building the day before.
Like I said, waste them.
That must be why Nixon's own Scranton Commission declared that the Guard's actions were "unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable".
Nixon also said "I'm not a crook","We're all Keynesians now", and also claimed to be a republican. The man was all to quick to lie for political expedience.
Let see, their is a moral equivalence between violent insurrection and women and children in their own home. Yah, that's intellectually coherent.
