An National Guardsman wounded by gunfire???
Any dead students found with a gun in their hand????
I didn’t think so.
The story DOESN;T say that ANY of the Dead Students were the ones who fired the shot or shots. Geesh.
The casualties were on high ground opposite the Guard position.
Where’d you come up with that?
Your comment is without thought. The gunshots directed at Guardsmen came from a campus building. There are newspaper photos taken on the day of people pointing at where they heard shots coming from.
Go, and think some more.
Ahh so you’re implying that among a riot of thousands of people the lack of a armed dead student means it didn’t happen.
Assuming that one or more rioters *did* fire it matters not whether they *hit* a soldier.
Any dead students found with a gun in their hand????
Again,assuming that one or more shots were fired by rioters,the worst you can say about that is the Guardsmen hit the wrong people...perhaps because of confusion ("the fog of war") or because of poor aim.

Ignorant and retarded is no way to go through life. People who plan riots, arson and mayhem have read their manuals; leave no weapon behind. Weapons and bombs in backpacks have been found in similar riots country-wide.
I didn’t think so.
There. I fixed it for you.
And?
Have you ever been hit in the head by a rock? Kent State was a tragedy, but it had been preceded by days of riots on and off the campus and a bunch of jittery Guardsmen who were harassed and abused by the screaming thousands of rioters. No criminal charges could be filed and the jury absolved the defendants of all charges even in the civil case but were overruled by a liberal “judge” who saw it convenient to issue a very rare Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict.
So what? No guardsmen wounded because the hippies missed. And the dead rioters without guns,,, were the ones that didnt have guns. Also,,, i might remind you, a lot of dead VC were found without arms, their comrades quickly remove them. It also happens a lot with criminals too,,, itls called tampering with evidence.
They did have permission to fire back if fired upon and they did. You can believe what you want, I don't know how old you are but I lived through those times and I can tell you it was a planned riot with the purpose of making the military look bad and play into the "get us out of Nam" BS meme.
Ok, by your rules, you have to be hit by gun fire before you return fire????your a girl!
It was in our enemies interest to foment revolution in our country. That was the only way they were going to win the war. Money was flowing into the groups to further their activism and no one asked where it came from.
It worked well.
The students were protesting the US trying to stop the communist takeover of another country. The student protesters and communists won and 2 million people in Cambodia died.
Maybe not, but, I head one of the Guardsmen say that so and so [ he called his name] had his kneecap crushed by a pipe wrench and he closed with the words, “Nobody cares wht happens to us.”
But he was wrong on that part. I cared and still do.
Posting rules prevent any further elaboration other than you would probably feel more at home on Democrat Underground.
