As a Kent State alumnus your column hits home. While I attended more than a decade after the shootings, the images from that day are seared into my memory. It's especially so because the incident occurred next to Taylor Hall, the home of the schools of journalism and architecture.
For additional reading about that event, I highly recommend, When Truth Mattered by Robert Giles, who was a young editor at the Akron Beacon Journal, which earned a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the events that day and the fallout related to former Ohio Gov. James Rhoades' decision to sent the National Guard to the campus.
Keep hearing “four dead in Ohio “ chorus from CSNY’s song “Ohio” . I remember Nixon trying to blame it on students throwing rocks. As if gunfire was an appropriate response .
A Vietnam veteran was my poli sci group discussion leader. He was a major influence in my life.
Fighting this boil on democracy is crucial to our survival.
Stand up or we will not have a country anymore.

Tragic and absolutely EVIL
You always write such accurate and thoughtful comments. Thank you again for your amazing efforts
Thanks, Tina
Your comments are always appreciated!
Kent State hurts me a lot. I still see the pictures in my head. I've never heard a credible reason for issuing live ammo.
If Trump threatens to use the National Guard he will have effectively painted a bullseye on every single one of them.
I know, Bob
