National Guard shot hippies
A bunch of teenage National Guardsmen were on campus because of a possible riot.
They marched around and got boxed in by a fence.
So instead of going back the way they came, they panicked and laid down a concentrated fire with rifles in a random direction.
Later, none of the guardsmen could explain why they fired their weapons, and could not explain why they picked that particular direction.
Four passersby were killed at random several hundred yards away, including an ROTC student walking to class.
The Nixon administration investigated and said the shootings were "murder without premeditation".
Since arfcom GD is sometimes the conservative version of democratic underground website, screechy and retarded, this strange and tragic event is celebrated as "teaching them hippies a lesson."
