Kent State University - 35 years ago

Today is the anniversary of the shooting of Kent State University Students by Ohio National Guard. This was done on the orders of the then-govenor of Ohio. Four students were killed. No one was every prosecuted, despite the very public threats made by the Govenor.

This shouln't be forgotten, kidz - it's the action that forever neutralized peaceful protest in the US.
