4 dead in Ohio..

Well…the joy of it being another Star Wars day is tempered by theĀ  tragic event that happened on this day in 1970 when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed protesters on the campus of Kent State University and killed 4 students, one who was just walking to class…back when it happened, it really reverberated with me since the ones killed were not much older than I was and the spectre of getting drafted and sent to Vietnam hung over me and all of my friends…it sure blew away my naivety and set me on the course to be the liberal I am today…RIP….
