I remain convinced that planned murder was committed at Kent State on May 4, 1970. The Ohio Governor and possibly the President of the United States worked with Ohio National Guard leaders in a plan to silence protests at Kent State and across America. I was an eyewitness of the massacre and I was a victim when a bullet passed through my right wrist. We learned in 1975 at a federal court trial that several of the triggermen said they heard a verbal order to fire. Even though times and issues are different now in 1999, students remain aware and active on their campuses across America.
Student activism remains alive and well.
There's a thin, fine line between a riot and a righteous rebellion, my friend. That's a good question. Sometimes drunken college students get too rowdy. In 1968, in the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention, the Chicago police went on a rampage and attacked thousands of peaceful young anti-war demonstrators. Even that may be debatable and disagreed by the crowd and the police.
