Arfcom doesn't believe in free speech, free assembly, or protest when it's executed by those they disagree with, sorry OP. No fuck's given. Those protest types (kent, Ferguson, LA) would gladly destroy every aspect of normal life in a hissy fit of rage because they will never fit into society. Good grief. Real "hippies" did not want to take over, they wanted to be left alone. Most of the protesting at the time was being done by dumbass college students, just like today. |

In arguements for second amendment rights pictures of the nazis assassinating citizens frequently are used. While justifiably so and very powerful, perhaps reminding liberals of the Kent state shooting might be another angle they haven't seen or forgotten about, something that happened on a college campus (one of their safe zones) and clearly shows what an armed government will do to suppress a populace. Doing extensive studies into this subject throughout college, including interviewing eye witnesses, I determined that nobody knows what caused the shooting, even witnesses So it may have been justified. A family friend was a guardsman there. He said the outcome wasn't really a surprise, given what all had been going on that day by the protesters. |

Bunch of dudes with M14's smoked a bunch of hippies........one day I'll be outraged. they had garands I had a prof who was there Not being there, I wonder if the NG troops didn't deliberately aim so as to miss individuals right in front of them, with no thought as to where the bullet go, as into an innocent bystander some distance away, and not immediately involved. OTOH, whether the sights on the M1s were properly zeroed and adjusted also comes into play. We'll never know. Bad business all around. I agree with some posters that the wrong people were shot. There is some evidence that Mil/Police well-trained in dealing with professionally-led riots, have snipers who are trained to recognize and take-out the ringleaders, usually with a shot to the genital area. Unfortunately, such injured individuals seldom make it to appropriate medical facilities in time, which might be a fortunate thing, all things considered. |

You make it sound like the government sent troops in there with the intent to massacre innocent students. That's not even remotely close to what happened. Mistakes were made on all sides, but the fact remains that if the protestors had been peaceful and not decided to riot, burn down buildings and throw rocks at police and firemen the NG would never have been there. The shootings were a cluster on all levels but it takes a special kind of stupid to attack/threaten armed men who are greatly outnumbered. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Happened across a group of folks some of whom took violent exception of my snapping their pic, despite it being a public place, and my not resembling a Gov't agent in any respect. I finally had to belt the worst of them over the head with my Nikon F camera. He went straight down, I got away, and the camera suffered only a minor dent. The pix came out all right. Wasn't the first time, nor the last that my brass-and-steel Nikon F did well as an impromptu weapon. Just take a short grip on the very stout shoulder strap, and swing away at the attacker's noggin. I finally sold-off the Nikon, along with the written story. Foreign buyer paid me extra for the written story, and a copy of the photos to back it up, and to explain the dent in the camera's body. |

The subject used to be covered almost every year on Jim Quinn's radio show (the warroom). He interviewed some people who had done a lot of research into the event.

What is never mentioned in the main stream media is that the out of town protestors egged on the college kids. They wanted this to happen. One of the things they did was make dixie cups filled with concrete and protruding nails and threw these at the cops and guardsmen. And no one took a picture of one?

No, I'm trying to expose a troll. VooDoo3dfx comes into threads to shit on military personnel, I'm letting everyone know about it, in chase they aren't aware that his sole point to posting in this thread is a means of trying to demonstrate some sort of hypocrisy. Why do you feel the obligation to defend VooDoo3dfx?. Is it that you're both from Jersey? Or maybe something else, a profession by chance? No, couldn't be that, could it?
