38th anniversary of Kent State massacre
May 5th, 2008
Today is the 38th anniversary of the Kent State massacre of four antiwar students by National Guard troops. One seldom hears about those troops, but I suspect that, like the protesting students and their families, they still have nightmares on this day. They should never have been sent to a college campus fully armed. Those who sent them bear the major responsibility for the murders.
