Geez. 48 years ago. I has the oldzzz feelers. I remember it like it was yesterday.

That was the final nail in the coffin for general American support of the war in Vietnam. When you start killing kids at jumped-up Junior Colleges, that’ll happen.

Kent State isn’t a junior college. Just wanted to point that out. It is a fully accredited state university.

I was 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. Kent State was 60 miles from where I lived and that hit hard.

Sad thing though, I don’t think we’ve learned our lessons from all that. We almost seem to be back on the same path that got us to that point.

And always remind people, not all the students killed and wounded were protesting hippie anarchists as many people like to paint it.
