Sounds more and more like Kent State. IIRC there were some who thought they deserved it, too. I used to know someone who was there. He said he just walked out of Chemistry Class when students around him were shot. Out of control people with rifles in public. Note, students, not demonstrators.
Ever hear of the Shedden Bandido biker-on-biker massacre? You know, the one where bikers murdered 8 of their own?
