Kent State Massacre 40th Anniversary


On May 4th, 1970 armed National Guardsmen fired 67 rounds into a crowd of college students. 4 were killed and 9 were injured including a "kid" who remains paralyzed to this day.

The response? Hundreds of colleges and universities across America closed as over 4 million students walked out and went on strike to protest The Man.


"Ohio" - Neil Young
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
