Tin soldiers and Nixon coming

We're finally on our own

This summer I hear the drumming

Four dead in Ohio

Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down

Should have been gone long ago

What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

I don't know where you got those lyrics from,
but "Should have been gone long ago "
should be: "Should have been done long ago ".

National guard aren’t cops.
I grew up in that time frame and
riots in cities, Watts was very personal to me
and protests gave me a mindset.
If I was a young man in that small squad faced,
with hundreds of crazed Democrat
protesters, I would have shot
and not lost one iota of sleep over it.

Vietnam era vet. I did my time.

Wow - saw them back in '74 down in Tampa. It was a really good show. Jesse Colin Young opened for them.

Four-Way Street was still getting a lot of airplay on FM, so they did a lot of that. Kent State wasn't very long ago, either.

The truth of the matter is the students cornered the National Guard, who then panicked, and rightfully so.

National Guard troops made up of mostly Working Class White boys vs. the privileged children of Middle/Upper-Middle Class parents and their Bolshevik agent provocateurs.

The Working Class won that particular battle but, alas, have lost every battle since.

This is in my neck of the woods. You can still see some bullet holes and they have a spot roped off where one of the kids fell. It’s one of those places where you can feel the sadness. It was a tragedy no matter which way you look at it.

Like today they had traveling protest groups show up to organize things and to encourage kids to tear the place down. Poor stupid dumb kids.

You will not like the answer you dope smoking pervert.

Because the little commies who were destroying property and terrorizing the campus charged the National Guard who was there to try to PREVENT said commies from destroying property and hurting people.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Oh and please understand that eventually people get to the point when they have had enough of your ignorant temper tantrum and you are going to get hurt.

And normal people will not give a hoot.
