Neither she or the other people shot were students either. She in fact was a runaway from Florida and sometime prostitute that wandered into the anti-war movement.

The guard was not trained in riot control and the so-called students were throwing rocks at the guardsmen.

That is what started the ball rolling at Kent State. This article reprints a bunch of SDS propaganda.

i too, remember reading that the girl was not a student, but a runaway.

Wasn't that photographed "student" about 14 years old at the time?

With this and the "Willie Horton" gaffe, I think Aldrich needs a better editor.

You're right on all counts. I read Michner's Book many years ago.

I just noticed something fishy about the photograph I posted this morning. The one I recall from the 70's had a large trail of blood draining from the young man's body.

This photograph has either been cropped or doctored to remove that.
