supposedly at the time there was overwhelming support for the shootings of the college kids and the majority thought they deserved it. probably why it’s been memory holed.
It’s a little more complicated than that. Don’t want to give too much personal info away, but I am intimately familiar with the Kent State shootings. Public opinion was pretty divided at the time from what my parents tell me. At least in the area around Kent, the anniversary of May 4th is treated pretty solemnly. Back in the 80s the rival university 15 miles away named their basketball arena after the governor who sent the national guard in and there were significant protests.

Jesus fuck this country has always idolized fascism hasn’t it?
Do you mean the Philadelphia MOVE bombing? I believe that was in 85 and Tienamen was in 89.
A lot of younger Americans simply just don’t know about it. I had to teach a coworker of mine who’s about 25, what actually went down with hippies during Vietnam. I’m only a few years older but I had a based history teacher who taught us about iran/contra, MK Ultra, the banana republics, and other forms of US imperialism.
This seals it for me that it was an assassination not a firefight.
Since it was a beating, that has never really been in question. That’s why (with a bit of racism sprinkled in) they have murder prosecutions lined up for everyone involved.
The contradictions do be sharpening. Here’s hoping we enter the :cool-zone: this weekend.
Atlanta famously slow/not super willing to go hard in protests in recent times. 2020 popped off but Idk about this. Some folks torched some cars last week but i guess ill see whatsup when this drops
We’ll haul out Killer Mike or T.I. or something to scold the protestors to stop hurting their property and say it’s for the good the common folk of Atlanta
“please listen to this rich landlord who looks like you but does not share your class interests”
People have been running a year long campaign to protect the forest and prevent construction of a police training center. They’ve been sabotaging construction equipment and marching through construction sites, with publoc sympathy largely on their side. Atlanta has been going harder than most of the US, regardless of how destructive their street protests are.
War is exciting. Very few people are so calm that they don’t feel some strong emotion at the prospect of violent conflict. Whether it’s dread or anticipation or something else. It’s a normal human reaction. Hell, it’s probably part of our fight/flight response, your brain preparing for the possibility of having to react quickly in the near future.
Zone temperature is dropping rapidly.
