Kent State University
āTheĀ Kent State shootingsĀ (also known as theĀ May 4 massacreĀ or theĀ Kent State massacre)[3][4][5]Ā were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of theĀ Ohio National GuardĀ atĀ Kent State UniversityĀ inĀ Kent, OhioĀ during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanentĀ paralysis.[6][7]ā
āThere was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to aĀ student strike of 4 million students,[10]Ā and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over theĀ role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]ā
Student strike of 4 million students! Letās do that again lol

Donāt forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved itā¦
Another picture from Kent State.
But it was not just Kent State, eleven days laterĀ Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.
Btw half of the students killed at Kent State werenāt even protesting, they were just there
What in the absolute fuck
When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but itās suspiciously hard for Americans to learn aboutā¦
I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies itās fucked up
I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.
When I was 21.
i never heard of thisā¦ā¦ and i live in this countryā¦ā¦ā¦ WTFĀ
Welcome to America. If you want to learn some actual history, then research it yourself
History 101, day 1: forget everything you learned in high school and before because itās wrong and skewed.
The kent shooting is what the song with the lyrics "4 dead in Ohio" is about right? Lemme google.... It's apparently just called "Ohio" but people refer to it as "4 Dead In Ohio".
