    John Filo remembers if the Guardsmen cared about what happened after the shooting had stopped:

    20px-Cquote1.png No. That was evident in that the squad that came over to examine the body of Jeffrey Miller was armed -- six or seven of them. No one even bent down to get a closer look. The sergeant who did not have a rifle rolled the body of Jeffrey Miller over with his boot. That incensed some people. The soldiers regrouped and backed away from the body and away from the crowd of people ... It could have taken 5 minutes. It is hard to calculate time. 20px-Cquote2.png

    Calls for Revenge

    The Guardsmen retreated from the top of the hill to rejoin the other National Guard members at the perimeter of the burnt ROTC building. By this time students had again began milling around the commons and what had happened started to sink in. Before the shootings there was some question on how much of a danger the students posed to Guardsmen but after the shooting there was no question with many calling for an all-out assault on the National Guard. 'It's gone too far'

    With the students still not dispersed the Guard again approached and warned the faculty present that the students had to disperse immediately. It was then that the late, geology professor and faculty marshal, Professor Glenn Frank made an emotional plea to the students to break-up and leave the area. The speech was recorded by the news director at the student radio station, Bob Carpenter.

    20px-Cquote1.png I don't care if you've never listened to anybody before in your life. I am begging you right now, if you don't disperse right now, they're going to move in. It will only be a slaughter. Please, listen to me. Jesus Christ, I don't want to be part of this. Listen to me...

    --Professor Glenn Frank 20px-Cquote2.png The faculty through their pleas were finally able to get the crowd to disperse, Alan Frank the son of Professor Glen was there in the crowd that day, "He absolutely saved my life and hundreds of others," said Frank. Aftermath

    University shuts down

    While the bodies where being removed from campus and the wounded taken away by ambulance, Kent State University President Robert White was planning to shut down the University. A court injunction from Common Pleas Judge Albert Caris made the closure indefinite. Classes didn't start again until the summer of 1970. Faculty at Kent made heroic efforts to allow students to finish their semester via papers mailed to instructors and classes held off-campus.

    Nation wide protests

    30px-Cquote1.png ... when dissent turns to violence it invites tragedy 30px-Cquote2.png —Nixon Whitehouse

    The news of Kent State spread quickly across the nation and this incident is widely regarded as the sole reason behind the only nationwide student strike in history. Hundreds of campuses shut down with over 4 million students protesting.

    The next Saturday had protesters assembling in Washington to protest both the Kent State shooting and the Cambodian invasion. As the numbers grew the White House grew afraid of another "Kent" on the Whitehouse grounds. They arranged to have two rings of D.C. transit buses parked bumper-to-bumper. Paranoid government officials saw the gathering through the eyes of cold war soldiers with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff claiming that the busses were set up, because "this same group that was at Kent" was plotting to get a student killed in front of the Oval Office.

    rIGHT WING creep:):)!!!

    Publicly President Nixon expressed regret at the student deaths, "This should remind us all once again that when dissent turns to violence it invites tragedy." He invited Kent State students to the White House stated that the shootings should never have happened. Yet he had earlier called student protesters "bums" and in the Whitehouse tapes it was revealed that he had asked the Secret Service to beat up student protesters, and felt that the Kent State victims "had it coming".

    Many in America shared this "had it coming" attitude and the incident further divided the country. Incidents erupted around the country. Anti-Vietnam supporters demanded that flags be flown at half mast in respect of the slain at Kent and on the other side pro-government supporters demanding that flag's be raised from half-mast.

    New Evidence

    In 2010, the forty year anniversary of the shooting, new evidence emerged from the post Kent-Shooting investigation. In June of 1970 Attorney General John Mitchell told the public "there was no sniper". A report submitted to Attorney General John Mitchell in June 1970 stated "there was no sniper" who could have fired at the guardsmen before the killings. It was also revealed that six guardsmen told the FBI that their lives were not in danger and that "it was not a shooting situation."

    However over time declassified FBI documents show that at least two bullet fragments were found in a tree and ground around the guards. Also, and perhaps the reason the information was suppressed, the FBI had a mole in the student protest movement. Terry Norman, a part-time student at Kent, was working for the FBI and was armed with a gun that the FBI were able to determine had been fired on that day.

    LIARS AND CRIMINALS:):)!!!!

    Investigations would later try to answer the question, why did the National Guard open fire? The Adjutant General of the Ohio National Guard told reporters that a sniper had fired on the guards but this claim was proven untrue. The Guard themselves claim that they felt their lives threatened by the protesters yet none of the protesters were close to the Guard. Joseph Lewis the closest verified protester to the Guardsmen and was shot in the abdomen and left lower leg at a distance of about 60 feet. He was shot while standing still and giving a middle finger to the guard. Victims that day and the distance from the Guard line:

  6. ...and the 4 INNOCENT victims of those LEGALIZED TERRORISTS are & will remain the SYMBOL of the victims of the RIGHT WING BARBARIANS governing at that time!!!

    "They are the worst type of people" ....Governor James Rhodes on the Vietnam protesters.

  7. However, it's clear that there was a verbal order to fire and a dozen TROOP G killers stopped, turned, began to shoot and continued to fire 67 times into our crowd of unarmed students. The well-coordinated actions of these triggermen seemed quite planned and executed like a firing squad upon orders to shoot.

    Only A FEW WORDS: THE AMERICAN NATIONAL GUARD ARE A BUNCH OF MURDEROUS, TERRORIST ASSASSINS. PERIOD.!!!!

  8. I guess it was sort of comparable to the Boston Massacre in some ways. When you agitate people with guns something just might happen.

    I still don't understand why some students feel that a college campus even during class session, is supposed to be a place for political demonstations.

    But Kent State was a tradgedy. At that time National Guard troops were not trained in crowd control.

    Students will always have something to say and if they can't say it normally, they will find ways to say it the best they can!!:):). I believe the order to shoot came directly from the Governor...I wonder if the NG would have opened fire if they had known, say, that the Governor's kids were among the protesting crowd????!:):)

    We have to remember it was the late 60s and many politicians' kids were protesting against the authority of their own dads:):)!!!

    KSU was a HUGE tragedy....lest we forget:(

  9. I was talking about My Lai and Vietnam. My point is that My Lai was an isolated CRIME, it was not the policy of the United States (leadership) to command Army infantry or Marines (those under the leadership command) to execute innocent civilians. A very big difference which should be easily determined by most people I would certainly hope.

    Your comment is not logical. It was the policy of Osama Bin Laden (leadership) to command terrorists flying hijacked planes (those under the leadership command) to execute innocent civilians.

    Hi Brad.....I would like your opinion on the (commanD) that ordered the National Guard to shoot 4 innocent and UNarmed victims at KSU on May 4 1970??? Only asking of course:):)!!!
