Never Learned About Them

Never heard about some of these. It's sad to see that people feel that they should be violent to prove a point.

There were over 240 fires set in the Hough Ave. area of Cleveland, 31 people killed in Watts and of course four students shot to death by the Ohio National Guard on the campus of Kent State University, all in the name of race and peace.

I heard about Kent state massacre, that was messed up!!! You don't protest violence by starting buildings on fire and throwing rocks at firefighters trying to put it out! And above all, you DO NOT throw rocks at people carrying guns!!! Rocks can kill too. The National Guard was wrong to miss and hit innocent people just walking by, but any sane person doesn't throw rocks and not expect equal lethality in response!
