Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lolhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootingsDon’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…Another picture from Kent State.But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later 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 weren’t even protesting, they were just thereWhat in the absolute fuck When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked upI only know about it because of the Neil Young song “Ohio”https://youtu.be/TRE9vMBBe10 -- source link
