I am not over Kent State.
I hadn't really thought about it until I heard Democracy Now's broadcast this afternoon.
Yes, it's 39 years on. And maybe I should move on.
Still.
A couple hundred malcontents making a joyful noise against their oppressors. Richard Nixon has a problem. He orders a hit.
39 years later, there's still no justice.
And I guess I can take comfort in the knowledge that when this kind of monstrosity happened to us, we organized, we had a student strike across the nation to commemorate this abomination, and it helped turn the tide against the war in Vietnam.
Contrast this with the Reich Wing's big poutrage, the Waco case, wherein on the one-year anniversary, some nutball decided to blow up a federal building.
Yes, I get that we are better than they are. Yes, I get that we won.
What I don't get is the rage I still feel inside for those unavenged deaths.
Hey, DUmmy, it's 39 years later...get a haircut and a cellphone and STFU (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5614138&mesg_id=5614138)
**** off, Drama Queen. Four filthy hippies get snuffed at Kent State, and eight Guardsmen got rightfully and properly indicted. Sorry, not enough evidence to convict.
But Waco was a "poutrage." How many CHILDREN did Janet Reno incinerate? Quite a few more than were incinerated at Kent State.
And if you're BETTER than McVeigh (Christ, who ISN'T better than that psychopath?), then why do you call the deaths "unavenged?" Is this your warning to us all? Are you about to do your own Kent State?
-
James Reno also tortured the Waco people with LOUD music, for weeks. Just like we did at itmo.
-
Funny no mention of the protesters burning down buildings :whatever:
-
In the thread that got my mole popped, some DUmmie went off on me about Kent State. Said that was all the reason he needed to hate the military. :whatever: I don't think it was the same one.

Any body famous? :-)

Kent State was most unfortunate...that being said, when police and national guardsmen tell you to disperse, you disperse. You don'y burn buildings, you don't incite to riot, you don't make any uncertain moves......

...Or piss off people with loaded guns by bouncing rocks off the heads of most of them. They weren't there under Federal orders, Nixon had jack to to with it - that was just what the DUmmies and their ilk tell us is the "Well-regulated militia" to which we should cede all right to bear arms individually.

Too bad Nixon didn't just order a few dozen bulldozers instead. It worked with Rachel Corrie.

Damn you Karl Rove!

NO SHIT! H5
What was amazing about this was the hippies asked for it, and after they got what they asked for, they still, after 39 years have yet to understand that fact!
-
Well if he;s feeling so damn froggy he can always ask for a frakin rematch.

In a way, I agree with the DUmmy. I still remember the outrage I felt when I heard about the shootings at Kent State. I'm still waiting to hear the name of the traitor who gave the order to cease fire.

They are really obesessed with Kent State aren't they? First of all, it was their own doing.

IMO, the DUmb****s got a reminder of the dangers of protesting when the NG fired on them and killed a few. The DUmb****s don't like that, and want their revenge. The same revenge that is suggested by the ACORN-sponsored bus tours to the homes of Citigroup personnel.
DUmb****s, you need a reinforcement of the message that was learned at Kent State that day. Keep going, and you may just get it.
