"Kent State?"

A bunch of frightened, poorly trained civilians, weekend warriors mostly 20 and under with guns, told to watch over a bunch of civilians, mostly 20 and under, who stopped protesting and began throwing rocks. Nothing I've seen says that any civilian authority ordered the shooting to start. The most likely senario (IMHO) is that one of the kids with guns panicked. It can't be jusified, but...

I've been that scared. I'm afraid to think what I might have done if I had been there with a gun or in charge at that age. Heaven forbid any of my sons be put in that position, kind loving people that they are.
