KENT STATE RIOT 35TH ANNIVERSARY

Thirty-five years ago today Ohio National Guardsmen fired on an unarmed group of war-protesting students at Kent State, killing 4. John Filo's Pulitzer Prize winning photo can be found at The Digital Journalist along with an audio account by Mr. Filo. Another audio account can be found at The History Channel site. Kent State University itself has its own special collections site on this event. Infography has an extensive bibliography as well, including online articles and dedicated web sites.

One wonders what these Guardsmen who fired upon students think of this today. Or then for that matter.
I can not comprehend any of this tragedy...
