Oh, please.
Shooting those protesters at Kent State didn’t preserve anybody’s freedoms. The only freedom at stake was the freedom of assembly and free speech. It was a mistake and a tragedy and made martyrs out of the demonstrators.
It’s probably legit to compare the two events. Demonstrations, passion and tragedy on both counts.
Apparently, the left isn’t the only group that would like to rewrite history. Anyone who remembers Kent State would know that it was a devastating incident, when unarmed protesters were mowed down by totally inept National Guardsmen during an anti-war demonstration. While I disagreed with the protestors, I would fight for their right to protest. Otherwise, we are no better than the Iranian government.
