Not from me. Why a campus should be a law free zone is
beyond me. And there's lots of evidence that the Guardsmen
at Kent were returning fire.
The thing about Kent State?
The people who were shot weren’t in the front line with the useful idiots.
They were in the back with the CPUSA organizers.
There was overwhelming evidence, at least that they were acting to protect their lives from a murderous group of anarchist thugs who:
- burned down the campus ROTC building nights before.
- trespassed on private property by taking over and trashing professors' private offices
- made numerous bomb threats against campus facilities.
- rioted in town, terrorizing residents, destroying property and spreading massive mayhem.
The shooting at Kent State was flat-out justified. No criminal charges were brought against the guardsmen (in contrast to today's zeitgeist, in which the guardsmen would be tried for murder and lynched.) It's only a shame that they waited so long to take the needed action.
