Vietnam; Kent State Massacre May 4, 1970

A project for the shootings at Kent State University 1970 I made for school.
EDIT:May2008
Okay, I made this video montage a little over a year ago, and I just realized that the on the very first clip, it says Kent State Massacre, May 2, 1970; the actual massacre was actually on May 4th. Just a silly mistake. The actual protest/riots, I believe, started on the first or the second of May. I'm sure that's why I put that down. Lol, sorry. =)
EDIT:Jan09
Due to some copyright issues, I was given three options.
1. Take my video off of YouTube
2. Permanently delete all sound from my video
3. Use AudioSwap....

As you see, I chose to use AudioSwap... it was awful.

"When government starts shooting its people in the streets, they lose all legitimacy to govern" The United States Government started shooting in the 60's and has never stopped... By their own admission and standard they are an illegitimate enity.

@checkfate , absolutely nothing. they were exercising their constitutional right to assemble. that's why it is so tragic.

I remember another incident where armed guards shot a group of people that were there to protest, it was called the Boston Massacre in 1770. British troops opened fire on a crowd that was there to protest the British imposing tariffs and taxes on them. Now the same people calling these people "Unamerican" and laughing at their deaths I'm sure would call the protesters in 1770 "patriots". People who think they have the right to decide who and who isn't a "real" American are truly a sad bunch.

Those GDI's deserved it. What do you think is going to happen when you disrespect American and those who protect our rights.

@NOBULLANDNOSPIN You're such an idiot.

I want to know who the National Guardsmen were who killed those students and I'm willing to pay.......

I don't know if anyone here mentioned it, but I was watching television when this shooting actually took place. It was "live" on television. If you look at the photograph of the girl kneeling down, arms spread, mourning over the death of another student, it turned out that she was actually a runaway, and when her parents saw that shot on television, eventually, the campus police caught up with her and she was sent back home. This video is 40 yrs old and i remember it well. I was in college then.

this is one of the saddest tragedies ever endured by innocent students who gathered to protest the war which we all know was a big SNAFU. anyone who finds humour in this ought to feel ashamed - they were just college kids and never deserved to have their lives ended, and their friends murdered. lets just kill one of your friends for voicing an opinion, or standing up against a bully, and see how fucking hilarious you find it.

@rpitts1986 Yeah, because those protesters destroyed the economy. Actually, I agree with you, they should all go home and find a way to destroy the stock market lol

@510RFL, Thank-You... Very Much ;) 4 One who thinks they are offending others, with callous words and actions, is simply offending themselves for all to witness... As hate is the sign of FEAR, while tolerance is the mark of True*Courage...
