Go torment someone else. Me and you have no rap.
You don’t think the movement stopped December 31st 1969 did you?
No, but something that happened in the 70's can not be one of the foundations of the 60's movement. It is not mathematically possible.
Now if you had said the radical movement or communist movement or the anti-American movement or pro Soviet movement then you would have been correct but time flows only in one direction. (As far as we know. Some people disagree. But they have yet to come back with any proof.)
Yes, and McCarthy was so right. Look at the place, all the commies running around screwing this nation into the dirt.
Would ballistic tests be necessary when the coroner pulled .308 bullets out of the dead students? Wouldn’t a coroner understand the difference between a lead bullet measuring .357 and a jacketed bullet measuring .308?
I never knew there were so many Lon Horiuchis on Free Republic.

Thanks for that link.
OK, but this is history and not math. ‘The 60’s Movement’ is a catch-all phrase to describe that whole period of time. Maybe not mathematically accurate, but that’s term that’s used.
Doubtful your find many other hippy sympathizers here either.
Did you notice the distances where each college kid was killed or wounded? One kid was hit just as he was about to enter the library. Not one of the Guardsman was hit by gunfire. Not one of the dead or wounded was found to have a firearm.
Did you see those ridiculous pictures of the riot police guarding the grandmothers at one of the Tea Party rallies?
Now let me ask a question and hope for a serious answer. The left has been infiltrating the Tea Parties lately. If one of those instigators started shooting, would you expect the police to retaliate with 67 rounds into the crowd of Tea Partiers?
But there were autopsies done on the victims which I wasn’t sure of at the time.

The autopsies would have proved all the dead and wounded were shot by the Guardsman but not which soldier hit which student.
FBI informant and agent-provocateur in the crowds.
Disturbing how often people support Gov’t.
There are numerous reliable witness accounts that the crowd surrounding the guards were chanting, "kill, kill, kill...," more than enough justification for using deadly force considering the outright violent, anarchist acts committed in the days before.
Agreed. The retribution against the rioters should have been decisively more heavy handed and should have occurred days/years earlier. We were loosing our nerve due to the fact that they were "our children."

Hear hear partner...you are spot on with this one.
The ignorant rants by some here is appalling.
Where the hell do they form their opinions from?
Reckon they even know one of these kids killed was an ROTC boy on his way to class 100 plus yards away...outta brick throwing range for my arm even on a good day.
I salute you.
