He wants to create a Kent State scene. He will have military guys firing on civilians if he can

A Congressman once described the Ohio National Guard's shooting of the Kent State students as "one group of draft dodgers firing on another..."

That's the best description of that event I've seen.

I was in preppy school at the time, and most of my classmates went on a boycott.

I went to my classes.

I figured that people who gathered voluntarily to throw rocks at armed men who were ordered, under the threat of a courts martial, to be there most probably got, at the most, about a quarter of what they deserved.

I did three years of active Army after that, followed by four years of national guard duty, the latter including an almost riot towards the end of the NE 1978 blizzard.

My experience simply reenforced my high school judgment.
