This will be the "Kent State" for today's Peaceniks. It's exactly what the organizers want.

It probably is, but the overall cultural climate is not the same as in the time of Kent State. The effects will be no where near the same.

Yes it will. I agree, they want someone to get killed for propaganda purposes. I am hoping a simple warning shot will stop them, but no one knows until it happens.

And that's exactly why the military and police mustn't hesitate to confront them. It is a mistaken strategy to try and be "humane" with them to avoid "a PR disaster." That will only embolden them, and since their objective is to get one of the peons killed, they'll get more and more provocative until it actually happens.

One dead peacenik is a PR victory for their side; thousands of dead peaceniks is a lesson to all the world.

You're right about that. But this time, we are at war. The American people will not object to shooting anyone who interferes with our national security. The peaceniks were trying to capture universities, for gosh sakes, not military installations, when Kent State occurred.

Oh, SOME will, but it will be a very unpopular cause in war time.

Look, I'm a woman and I can hardly bear to crush an intruding ant, but if someone were to get on a military base illegally, I know I could pull the trigger and shoot him.

Actually it will be target practice for those armed with .223 and 9mm ammunition, not spray paint and signs. The protesters will be shot. Their bodies interned and sent in for an autopsy. Then returned to their families in a body bag. No big deal to me. If you can't read the signs, do do the crimes.
