Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

National Guard units shot and killed four student protesters in Ohio at Kent State University in 1970, wounding nine others. I've read the police used excuses like they had intel there were communist agitators involved, funnily similar to what they say today.
