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???

Kumbaya has no place in conservatism.

There were four dead. Two of those four, which I mentioned, were not in the Mob. They were walking to class. One of those two one was an ROTC member who was planning on entering the Military.
