I live very close to Kent State. It’s not a popular opinion with some around here, but I think the lesson learned at KSU was don’t throw rocks at people with guns!
The people who were killed weren’t throwing rocks.
I recall my oldest boy when he was five years old making this statement (vis-a-vis the inadvisability of throwing rocks at people who have guns) when he was watching Palestinians throw rocks at Israeli soldiers standing atop tanks aiming their guns.
Being of the Kent State Generation, I can tell you that most of the people I knew at university at the time thought this (and Altamount) went a long way toward stopping the “Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof” madness that emboldened these tantrum-throwing brats. And personally I think the sooner this non-event is forgotten, the better.

Well put - of course you’d have to be dumber than a rock not to know that without being taught.
