    Several months ago, I read a book about the Kent State shooting called 67 shots. The author of the book goes into detail about the type of rifle issued to national guardsmen on that day in May 1970, including how many bullets could be fired from it and the velocity and distance they could travel. The rifles the national guardsmen were given were the type of rifles used in World War II, and were not the state of the art rifle used during the Vietnam War. If they had been given those rifles, many more students would have died. After all the detailed investigations, it still wasn’t determined exactly who, if anyone ordered troops to open fire on the students.

No internet commenters, though, comparing it to our present times as a golden age -- we did have conservative editorial pages in most of the newspapers -- it was as dirty and mean as our present times. We just see it now through different eyes.

    Great show Fred, thank uou. Boy did this bring back a great memory, my brother Duke and I attended scouts every Wed night. The night Beneath the Planet of the Apes premiered at our local theater, 4-5 of us went to see it together. I can still remember us gasping when that underground cult pulled off their face masks! 😮

      I don't know why they're allowing the stuff I use, Forcemaster. I get a note that the copyright holder is allowing me to use the music. Then they monetize it. Three out of four of the videos get through. The fourth I have to change.

    tough year for sure. i gotta do some more research on the kent u deal. clip called them "violent" protests. it was bad enough to have to call out the gaurd and not just the local cops? they fixed bayonets? yeah i'm gonna have to check that out a bit more. i've only seen one full documentary on that tragedy and i think it was on pbs so i'm sure they left some important details. thanks again my man.
