Not that I’m fans of the protesters, but if this agent of the FBI fired the shots, it wasn’t the fault of them.

Yes,that could be true.But it also suggests (in not proves) that it wasn't the Guard's fault either.

I did riot control training as a Training NCO at the time. There were probably as many draft dodgers in the NG as there were among the protesters.

The NG demonstrated a failure of command and control from the officers up and down the chain of command, it was a mob rather than a disciplined force.
