I apologize for the poor quality of the video, but most of us already know the song.

OHIO

A :kiss: from the good little witch.
 
there was no order to fire, it really was just poorly trained kids shooting poorly organized kids. less sexy than a war-hardened captain giving the order to fire on civilians
 
When you go looking for trouble you usually find it.

Why would you call out the national guard on college students, the future, your children? No answer is reasonable, no excuse.....they were just kids....we treat gang bangers better than that.....

They were Usual Suspects itching for some cheap thrills. And they got what they went looking for. It really does suck to be them.

Once again, JBJ, you demonstrate the pathetic superficiality of your political position. You attempt to present yourself as a defender of America, but then flippantly deny the one right on which America was built - the right to dissent. And that shows all your bluster for what it is: ego-indulgent hypocrisy.

They had the right to dissent and they went to the wrong effing place to express it. At least they learned not to express their dissent with rocks and bottles.

I lived thru those times and the Usual Suspects were nasty bastards with the spit and insults and rock/bottle throwing. Like all Usual Suspects they never had the balls to confront the political leaders who made the war possible.

I lived through it too, JBJ, and the nasty bastards with spit and insults and bottles were the ones who didn't want us protesting. We did confront the political leaders, and many had the balls to face the violent response non-violent. Others thought defending oneself against fists and bats and rocks was a better course. But never did we throw the first punch. Interesting bit of revisionist history, JBJ; you should have worked forStalin.

And I guess you'll agree that the invasion of private space and the destruction of private property would not be appropriate for dissent...Oh, wait. that was the Boston Tea Party.

Frankly, my dear, Idon't give a shit for your hypocritical imagined reality, though I guess I should be abit more forgiving, seeing as this is a fiction site.
 
I didnt spit on anyone, I didnt insult anyone...I did what you and our leaders demanded me to do; and you were waiting for me at the airport when I returned. And when I tried to confront you about your boorish ambush you squealed RUN! HE'S A MARINE!!!!

Piece of shit.
 
I didn't run, you twit. I was there to help my friend's family's receive theirson's bodies. And neither InoranyoneIknewranfromaMarine. Wemight talk tohim, even buy him a drink. Frankly, JBJ,I have nomore timeforyour imaginary, revisionist history. Ialways thought that Marineswere truthful; youdon't seem to have that quality.Should Ireally believe that you were a Marine?
 
I believe this about human crap like you....I think you made a BIG stinking party out of the war and you lured a lot of people to your party, and several years later they woke up and realized how you fucked them over, and they were embarrassed and ashamed for how they acted. You know, get wasted, drop out, turn on, and piss on the men who did your bidding.

America remembers, and youre the reason no sane America wants to be known as a LIBERAL.
 
Regardless of the naysayers, it is right to remember the four who were killed in Ohio on this day 36 years ago.

I agree. And two of the dead were simply walking from one class to another, and were not part of the demonstration.
 
I did not read the entire list of responses since most of them were done by the one no one wants to join the discussions anymore, but the date is wrong. This happened on May 4, 1970. 40 years ago.

Awwwww. I'll never smile again:(

People dont wanna get bitch-slapped for talking shit, is the problem. Can you imagine how effing bizarre this place would be if someone didnt slap sense into you about once an hour?

You'd blabber and drool like this guy.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So what part of the Constitution gave them the right to throw bottles, take over private property and assault others?

ETA: It was a sad day that four US citizens were killed by four other US citizens. :(

The problem is, the Usual Suspects never believe the polls close.

Especially when two of them were doing nothing but walking to class. I remember this day vividly. And my thought was as I watched the news, thank God that I live in Canada. It was the horror of seeing American troops firing at unarmed students. That was something I might have expected to see in some god foresaken dictatorship, but not in a country that was so much like my own.

It was a terrible day, in a terrible time. And when people talk about the "good ol' days", there were a lot of those days that just weren't very good at all.
