What Does Kent State Mean to You?
As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings on May 4, 2010, the United States is waging two wars. Protests have yet to reach the level of the 1960s and 70s, but we did recently witness mass protests across the University of California campuses and in Sacramento. So the right to protest and the methods authorities use to control protesters are a constant concern in our society.
The questions are still being asked, and the issues are still relevant. Which leads us to ask, what does Kent State mean to you? Does it live on only as an historical event? Or as an event perfectly relevant to today”””’’s circumstances? What is your interpretation?

This piece of history is still relevant today as I work in a higher education environment. I”ve had the opportunity to view this entire documentary. It is in my opinion, a gripping detail driven account of what led up to May 4th. and the mistakes made by the local community leaders of this time, clearly, this should have never happened.

Definitely the document of record on the subject of Kent state. The film feels almost as if the main people involved in the shootings (including the shooters themselves) decided on their own to get together to privately discuss exactly what they saw happen and how they felt about it. It’’s a remarkable lesson on the reality of how quickly things can escalate when they don”t have to and a film every National Guard member and police officer would be well advised to watch as a training film on how NOT to conduct crowd control.

This is the same country that still taxes me and expects full compliance. They expected me to die in Viet Nam and now people take vacations there and buy furniture from there. The government turned on the people then and will do so at anytime now.
While modern people whine about a black President in sly ways, the real government and its guns await.
