New light shed on Kent State killings
Shots fired at Guard, declassified files indicate
Previously undisclosed FBI documents suggest that the Kent State antiwar protests were more meticulously planned than originally thought and that one or more gunshots may have been fired at embattled Ohio National Guardsmen before their killings of four students and woundings of at least nine others on that searing day in May 1970.
I clearly remember talk of a sniper firing on the Guardsmen in 1970. I also clearly remember the attitude of some of the protesters, especially the leaders, who clearly thought rioting, violence and destruction would change the world into what they wanted. Most other s thought the protests to be a lark. They were ignorant then and ignorant now.
