	Kent State shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kent State shootings, also known as May 4 or the Kent State massacre, occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of students by the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970.
		At Kent State, a massive demonstration was held on May 1 on the Commons (a grassy area in the center of campus traditionally used as a gathering place for rallies), and another was planned for May 4.
		The work was first performed on the Kent State campus on May 8, 1971 and was revived for the 25th commemoration of the tragedy in 1995.

	1960s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stimulated by this movement, but growing beyond it, the large numbers of student-age youth, beginning with the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964, peaking in the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois and reaching a climax with the shootings at Kent State University in 1970.
		University students rioted in London, Paris, Berlin and Rome, huge crowds protested against the Vietnam War in Australia and New Zealand (both of which had committed troops to the war), and politicians such as Harold Wilson and Pierre Trudeau modeled themselves on John F. Kennedy.
		An important difference between the United States and Western Europe, however, was the existence of a mass socialist and/or Communist movement in most European countries (particularly France and Italy), with which the student-based new left was able to forge a connection.

		At Kent State University, an anti-war rally was held at noon on the Commons, a large, grassy area in the middle of campus which had traditionally been the site for various types of rallies and demonstrations.
		Although University officials had attempted on the morning of May 4 to inform the campus that the rally was prohibited, a crowd began to gather beginning as early as 11 a.m.
		Thus, University leaders printed and distributed on Monday morning 12,000 leaflets indicating that all rallies, including the May 4th rally scheduled for noon, were prohibited as long as the Guard was in control of the campus.

		Twenty-five years ago this month, students came out on the Kent State campus and scores of others to protest the bombing of Cambodia-- a decision of President Nixon's that appeared to expand the Vietnam War.

		shootings, in correlation with the divide that existed between the public and the government, so too is there a divide in the reporting.
		Written just two days after the horrible shootings, it is obviously a reactionary piece, meant to instill anger and activism in the reader at that time, and for the reader now, to laugh at the ridiculousness of their current chief in power.
		No mention is given of whether shooting or a signal to open fire was given; but it seems that perhaps with the limited explanation from the guardsman in the report that perhaps WKSU is trying to imply that there was more that happened in that “huddle” than is revealed.
