Do you suffer from reading comprehension? The National Guard fired over the heads of the protestors and killed a couple of students who were walking to class. They had nothing to do with the protest. Do you think anyone attending Kent State at the time was a valid target?

I think that anyone participating in a mob action against the guard which included throwing chunks of concrete at guardsmen and charging the guard whose rifles were drawn deserved to be shot whether a Kent State student or not.

As to reading comprehension, felony murder is felony murder and the guardsmen were entitled to fire in self-defense. IF (a big IF) anyone killed or shot was innocent, the doctrine of felony murder places the burden where it belongs on the perps of the mob action. If you don't comprehend this well-settled principle of law, then research it. The only thing wrong with the guard response was that they fired over the heads of the protesters instead of INTO the heads of the protesters and wannabe guard killers. AND, wasn't it four dead and seventeen wounded, speaking of reading comprehension???
