Be gentle with us.

[FamiliarFace]

Watching that game last night pained me on so many levels.

[FamiliarFace]

Maybe there will be knee-twisting in the pile ups like in the old days.

[OHPatriot]

I’m with you.

I grew up 40 miles east of Kent State and remember the news stories of that day. As I got older, and read facts, I came to the conclusion that while a sad event they DIDN’T SHOOT ENOUGH OF THOSE LONG HAIR POT SMOKING HIPPY FREAKS!

Throw rocks at people with loaded rifles, EXPECT bad results.

SF writer Larry Niven coined a motto:..“Never throw s**t at an armed man”.
Words to live by.

Yes they are.

[dfwgator]

Yeah, but I did kind of enjoy watching Brian Kelly suffer. Can’t stand that guy.

[ConservativeInPA]

People are so sensitive. (Written with my best lisp)

[dfwgator]

I think all the Deion talk kind of fired FSU up.

(The good part’s at the end)

[FamiliarFace]

Yeah, that was good.

[cowboyusa]

It was a great day.

[FamiliarFace]

That was pretty good.

Two of the four who were killed were not at the protest but some distance away in a parking lot which just happened to be in the line of fire.

I remember Kent State. I was in fifth grade. Got to see the Ohio National Guard driving south towards Kent when I was walking home from school one afternoon in early May. Little did I know what was to take place. I just thought it was cool to see the military.

I also had the memorable experience of being able to sit at the dinner table between my brother, who was in his first year in college that year, and my Dad, a US Army WW2 vet. The conversations were, well, lively!

I once saw a cartoon featuring a scoreboard displaying

NATIONAL GUARD 4
KENT STATE 0

Back then I was a “shoot the bastards” believer, until I later learned that those shot were not the right ones.

[Newtoidaho]

Man, the national guard shoots up a bunch of dirty hippies ONE TIME and they never let you forget about it.

I found out about Kent State a couple of days later. When it went down, I was on a Vietnamese Navy PBR several miles north of Tan Chau (I.e., in Cambodia).

Saw Tv stories when we got back to the YRBM. The general consensus was that four should have been forty. After I got back and went through the protest gauntlet at SFO to get home, I was thinking 400…

Don't blame ya. They'd already burned down the old ROTC building, throwing rocks at the firefighters, and trashed the town. Looked like the place was turning into chaos central.

Grrrrrrrrrr...
