Why would you ruin this video with Nickelback?

@plansheiky I see by your bio that you are 34yo. You missed the VietNam war and the KS shootings by a few years. I'm over 60yo, spent a year in Thailand servicing B-52s and KC135s. As such I am a VietNam ERA vet. I make no claim to being a VietNam Vet, that title belongs to those who served in country.

There is still a lot of confusion and misinformation going around about the KS incident, but your post is probably the worst and "wrongest" I've seen. You're not even close to being right.

@emelecfan2048 ...I came to just to say that myself. Ridiculous

@ThePhantomPS3boy I agree, I respect a man in uniform and Its sad that those people died, but everyone has a breaking point, they tried ending the protest peacefully, but the hippies started throwing rocks and egging the Gaurd on. Theres a difference between peaceful protesting and violent protesting. Yeah Guns and Rocks are different, but they where warned.

Anyways our soldiers who got back from the war where treated like shit because of the commie hippies and media making our men look bad.

@925jdb The real pussies are the national guardmen who said they were scared of the unarmed crowd and felt the need to shoot unarmed kids. If I was the dad of any of those kids their would be some dead guardsmen.

Look at those anti war activist pussies run. LMAO!  hahahahaha!

@ThePhantomPS3boy It's a little thing called "Freedom of Speech" asshole. Those students had every right to demonstrate it to protest the escalation of a bull shit war that was already lost.

If you didn't listen to me that's okay. Come and talk to me and I'll point a gun at you, you wouldn't dare say anything then, as you yourself put it.

@ThePhantomPS3boy seems you are perfectly happy to live in a police state, as long as someone has a gun you will listen, if the founding fathers thought like this you would be honouring the queen still, you have no idea what it means to be an American.

@2lasiiJAkuppi Exactly!!!!! That's exactly what I have always been thinking!!! Guns are just there to make people more violent!!! If the soldiers just shot these guys with a tranquilizer they would have woken up fine a few hours later!!!! Why would you kill someone for supporting their beliefs?

[captainwesker09]

I didn't realize protesting was punishable by death.

i wish guns shooting bullets that kill had never been invented and instead a gun that shoots some kind of electric shock or something that paralyzes the body for a few minutes witch could be used for hunting purposes was invented. A gun or a bomb is a power 2 great to play with, and when it gets in the wrong hands...

@revhowardgoss I guess that means you should fire into a crowd. 7 of the people shot were passerbys
