And then I cried, when I realized just how much better UCF is at football than we are.

I don’t remember the Shannon Sharpe moment, but sure do remember 1970 Kent State. That’s what came first to mind.

I saw the Shannon Sharpe rant real time, and I’m a Pats fan. Even so, I thought it was hilarious.
But, when you toss Kent State into the mix, it’s not funny.
To: DFG
who put that post up online? Maybe some youngster, who wasn’t even alive at the time of the Kent State shootings?
To: DFG
I often wonder if the National revulsion against the Kent State shooting was a turning point in the downfall of America.
We as a country became aghast at what happened there and what happened in cities like Chicago, Washington DC and other hot spots in the 60’s and 70’s.
And now - as a result - we actively permit and accept terrorism in cities like Kenosha, Portland and Minneapolis.
Maybe a return to a Kent State mindset would actually save lives, billions of dollars, and return some sanity to a disunited States of America.

The Reds were rampaging through the town burning. Not enough were shot.

The Guard fired into a crowd that was aggressively engaging them.
Some might even call it “attacking the Guard”.

I do not understand UFs inability to attract a quality coach.

Communist street level terror techniques change little, whether with the IWW in the early 1900s, the Weathermen and SDS in the Vietnam War era, or Antifa and BLM in our time. The main difference in the 2020s is that the Left has dominated so many governments and institutions that Antifa and BLM are now the militia of the Deep State.

Jeffrey Miller (shown) was 270 feet away from the guardsmen. The other three dead were between 330 to 390 feet away. At least one person was just walking between buildings and was not involved in the protests.
The SDS leaders that fomented the real rioting and burning of the old ROTC building were gone by the time of the shooting iirc.

Probably, but today’s kids aren’t even taught what July 4, 1776 celebrates, and that’s because their teacher’s weren’t taught either. It’s just some random date to memorize for a test just so you can graduate high school.
History lessons are so 20th century.

The SDS, Students for a Democratic Society, were at that as well.

SF writer Larry Niven coined a motto:
“Never throw s**t at an armed man”.
Words to live by.
