The unfortunate outcome was that the guards apparently didn’t shoot directly at the trouble makers, but shot over their heads instead, killing people farther back rather than the ones causing the problems in the first place. I mean, if you’re going to go through the trouble of discharging a firearm, aim at the bad guys, not over their heads.” Agreed
I agree that something spooked the guards and that set off the shooting. It was a serious mistake to put National Guardsmen, armed with M1’s into a riot control situation for which they were not trained and ill equipped. I don't put a lot of stock in FBI reports, especially 40 years after the incident. Too often the Feds arrive at the conclusion first, then investigate until they find facts to support their predetermined theory. JFK?
It's not unusual to have hundreds of conflicting “witness” statements. Where is the ballistic evidence?
You mean like Freepers who ignore 26 volumes of evidence and then claim LBJ killed Kennedy? You mean like that?
