I read on Yahoo! News that a Kent State "victim" will be releasing a recording. But, there were no victims. Let's get it straight here: the rioters attacked the National Guardsmen, and the soldiers were forced to fire. I know a man who was paralyzed in the incident, and he says he shouldn't have done what he did. That wasn't a protest. It was a violent riot, in which buildings were burned down. As a resident of Ohio, I support what the soldiers did, even though I wasn't around at the time of the incident. Besides, it could have been worse. They could have used machine guns, and killed all of the rioters. Or used grenades, but they were merciful. I support peoples right to protest the government, but when it becomes violent, force must be used to break it up. My dad fought in Vietnam, and those people who protested called him all sorts of vile names. Those people were not Americans. They were terrorists.
