Two of the four students killed had nothing to do with the protests and were walking to class.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when you have riots and political terrorism. It's not always the guilty who get killed if the police (or national guard) feel obliged to open fire.

Equally bad things happen if you DON'T open fire, like the innocent Jewish bystander who was killed in the Brooklyn riots because a black mayor didn't allow the police to take action against black rioters.

Not all of the four were even Kent State students.

I was at Ohio State at the time. If you wanted to stay well clear of potential trouble, it was straightforward enough. They didn't get out of bed until noon, so you could go anywhere until noon. They raised hell with the NG en masse; individual NG checking IDs of anyone being cooperative were polite and no trouble at all to deal with.

I didn't miss a class. I was never late for a class.

“Two of the four students killed had nothing to do with the protests and were walking to class.”

The saddest fact of the entire event - and one that neither side ever makes much mention of.

Whether the gurardsmen felt threatend or not, whether somebody fired shots or not - there were apparently a bunch of armed people in United States uniforms that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!
