May 4th was the 40th anniversary of the Kent State killings.
What a dark time in America's history when an Ohio National Guardsmen Sgt. Lawrence Shafer bragged about "taking a bead on Jeffrey Miller" a 20 year old unarmed student 265 feet away, and then shooting him through the mouth killing him almost instantly. A commission concluded that no one ordered the National Guard to open fire.
