There were many non-Kent State riff-raff from other protests around the country instigating the riots. The protesters smashed store windows in Kent, started fires, and attacked gaurdsmen in the street (several were knee-capped) a day or two before it all came to a head. And by the way, the girl in that famous picture planting a flower in the barrel of a guardsman’s gun was not a student, and was not from Kent.
