Nixon invades Cambodia, campuses across the country erupt in protest, armed troops deployed to deal with the unrest on an Ohio campus, guns pointed at students to intimidate them into dispersing...hmmm, can't remember what happened next...everything calmed down, I think, right?
Edit: Autocorrect betrayed me.
For those of us with third world level history what happened?
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.
Yeah cause agitators is a reason to shoot people. Can't let those commies speak!/s
