Believe me, no National Guardsman would ever shoot an attractive young girl for baring her breasts - just would never happen.
You got that right
Most recounts show a sergeant for whatever reason opened fire and in follow up so did about one third of the guardsmen....note only about one third saw fit to fire which is telling enough
I am unaware of any report or study done on the event from any persuasion justifying the shootings
The Jackson State shooting two weeks later did involve live fire from protestors and spent ammo was later found
It was black radicals versus US Marshalls and Mississippi Highway Patrol
I was in my 7th grade under forced busing in a junior high school very close to there....maybe one mile
In a school that had just gone from white to 70% black....loads of fun
My folks took me private after that.
Moral of Kent State is two things....govt can kill you even if you are unarmed and get away with it....back then if you were a hippie.....today if you are a eighty
Also....never bring rocks to a gunfight
PS ....don’t trust a scared man with a gun not to shoot
