In reply to the discussion: I Think the Next Kent State Incident Is Imminent. [View all]llmart
(17,720 posts)58. I'll never forget the blood running in the street.
Back in the day (as the young uns would say) Kent was considered the local "party school". I lived in an apartment with two roomies and since Kent was only a quick ride away for us, we would occasionally go there on the weekend. We were so young and so idealistic and all three of us were anti-war. My one roommate was engaged to a guy who was serving in Viet Nam and he was killed in action. I will never forget when someone came to our apartment door to inform her that he had been killed.
Those were some heady times.

Not prudent to the likes of us. But the question isn't about elderly Anglo white guys.

Shit is likely to happen. It is an opportunity for the oppressors in many ways. You are likely correct.
