"Even if there was no sniper; they acted properly."

My point was that you don't need conspiracy theories to explain that day. The military are to trained to kill, sometimes it needs to be done and they do it well. If you use the military for what is a police action these things will happen. We can debate the need for and wisdom of using military forces for police work, but that is for another thread.

The "sniper theory" has as much evidence as the guy on the grassy knoll. When someone can present any evidence whatsoever, I'll listen. The truth however is usually the simplest. If you charge at the military they will shoot you and they will do it well.

Just admit it...you didn't actually read the article. The "proof" that you ask for, is in it!

The local police could NOT handle what was going on at Kent State, which is WHY the Governor of Ohio called out the National Guard.

Good grief, don't you know anything FACTUAL about this happenstance?

Putting down a communist revolution in heartland America is a job for the military

No, you wont "listen"; that has already been MORE than proved, by your very own posts to this thread.

And not only are you refusing to look at facts, you are also completely uninformed as to what a "police" force is supposed to handle and what they are not! This absolutely WAS a case where the National Guard was called FOR GOOD REASON.

1. I listened to the radio reports, several times, watched the TV coverage, several times; and EVERYBODY on scene was focused on the grassy knoll....might have been an echo but I'll never believe that interpretation.
2) "The military is trained to kill".
ROFLMAO (a lot), don't confuse today's National Guard with yesterday's national guard. The guys at kent were more afraid of the rioters and hippies than the other way around.
3. (add) Any sympathy for the dead 'students'?
...............NO - I miss that as an option.
