as one flock of butterflies, less distrust of the system
It was the day Kosygin warned the US against escalating the way in Vietnam. The student protests were happening all over the US and soldiers were cursing Nixon's "betrayal". The "excesses of the permissive society" were in the news in the UK.Now I am thinking, almost and I am looking down on myself for even considering it, on a thread or discussion or want alternate headlines and images would be on major newspapers and magazine.
I think I might know what you mean. Almost like a tragedy's become too much a texture of life and I can't just wish it away.. . . almost and I am looking down on myself for even considering it, on a thread or discussion or want alternate headlines and images would be on major newspapers and magazine. . .
The protestors weren't perfect of course, as you can read, but the later shooting sure sounds like a police overreaction.http://www2.kenyon.edu/Khistory/60s/webpage.htm
Around 9:30 PM on May 14, JSU students heard a rumor that Fayette, Mississippi mayor Charles Evers, brother of murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers, had been killed along with his wife. Students again gathered on Lynch Street and began rioting.
The ROTC building was set on fire, a street light was broken, and a small bonfire was built, but the riot was still a small one. Several white motorists called police to complain that students had thrown rocks at their passing cars, but eyewitnesses later proved that it was non-students, known as "cornerboys," who did the rock throwing. Firemen arrived to distinguish the fires, but requested police protection after students harassed them as they worked.
Steven King might not write The Stand (which probably means no Dark Tower series too.) I think I've read that much of the military conspiracy section of the first half of the novel was inspired by the Kent State shootings and King even reproduces a very similar shooting in one of the chapters.
FTFY.Unsurprisingly, a lot of conservative reaction to Kent State was not revulsion at the National Guard or a reassessment of what they did and how they viewed the youth movements of the Left. Rather, there was a feeling that they had it coming, and that it was their fault.
I wouldn't be sure of that.
Like I said, if it wasn't Kent State, it'd likely be another college where the guard was called out.
Imagine what would've happened at Yale had things gone pear shapped with the NG there.
What do you mean "surprisingly?" Conservatives react that way every time something bad happens to someone they don't like.Surprisingly, a lot of conservative reaction to Kent State was not revulsion at the National Guard or a reassessment of what they did and how they viewed the youth movements of the Left.
