Thanks to all of you who like the vid even without the music. I tried to leave a message with a link to the vid with the music but they won't let me.

The video is all the more poignant given the corporate censorship that blocks out the song.

At best it's a matter of greed and stupidity.

The sheer fucking stupidity of WGM is proven by their asinine censorship given that many young people who will have never heard Neil Young's tune may have actually PAID money for a CD or an Mp3 download is these assholes hadn't been so fucking greedy.

At worst it's perverse political censorship.

Either way, blocking this music from these images is evil!

Those students were not there to attend Sunday School. They were not innocent. They were not even all students. Many of them were rent-a-mob types brought in from other places to stir up trouble. They were anti- everything traditional. They were spoiled brats. Just goes to show you don't appreciate what you didn't earn.

Just saw the "Ohio" documentary on German tv..

Even after 40 years they don't tell who gave the order to shoot..... The cowards

In the 60s and 70s there were lots of anti-war protests and 1968 was probably one of if not the most active year of the anti-war movement but the Kent State shootings took place on May 4, 1970. I went to Kent State in the 70s and lived in a dorm just down the hill from where the shootings took place. I knew people who were there that day. It is still true that the poor fight the wars and continue to be sacrificed. God bless all those who serve and bring them home soon.

@Micki1958 ..,sure it did. Those students who wanted to avoid the draft unlike their less fortunate working class, poorer draftees who could not afford higher education found exemptions and deferments,through higher education. Nothing is more unpopular than the more fortunate having to go to Vietnam. Existing draft law was expiring at the end of June 1971. In Feb 1971, the Nixon administration requested a two-year extension of the draft, to Jun 1973.
