Fwiw, the “Kent State massacre” is ONE of the BIGGEST LIES ever told by the National Network’s press.= The TRUTH was that the OHARNG members FIRED BACK at the area where they believed that “someone” was shooting AT the Guardsmen.

When I was TXARNG Summer Camp in 1972 (I was then a 1LT of the 3/143rd Texas Infantry Regiment), I met/spoke with a SFC from the unit (which was involved in the so-called “massacre”) & who stated that he was a SP4 on the day that the “shooters fired into our ranks & then fled the area before our troops returned fire.” and “There were at least a pair of snipers in nearby buildings who fired on us too.”

Pardon me for BELIEVING an honest/sincere Senior NCO of the OHARNG, who was actually present/involved in the incident, rather than “reporters”, who were NOT present at that time/place & only reported “second or third hand reports” of the events of that day.
(The “mainstream media” LIES about as often as they are truthful.)

Thank you for that info. I’d heard that the Guard had been fired upon, but that is the first I’ve heard it described at that level of detail.

From what i read there was a round fired through a broze statue with the entry hole being higher and coming from the protester side and the exit hole on the soldiers side being lower.

Someone on top of a building fired a round through it
