Angry Canteen PING!

Man, if I had been there and seen that, as tiny as I am, I STILL would have launched myself at the spitter(s)!

Freakin’ punks!

Good Lord. Who are these people? What motivates them?

I grew up 35 mi from Kent State and remember the troubles there much differently than history has preserved it.

It was a powder keg and the students were attacking the NG with rocks.
When the rocks were gone they took to filling dixie cups with cement at night so they could huck that at them the following day.
Trouble was bound to happen.

I think the NG showed great restraint and I believe they fired over the heads of the protesters.
Sadly what goes up must come down and 13 bullets hit kids, killing 4 who probably had nothing to do with the protests.
One Sandra Lee Sheuer grew up 4 mi from my house.

Bottom line is that the students were attacking the NG.
National policy and the draft had issues but these guys were just doing their job.
They never wanted to shoot anyone.
I think they showed great restraint.
