Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up

I’m Dutch and I’ve known this for decades, yet I somehow have to teach each and every American I meet. There is just so much propaganda. One day their textbooks will be in musea across the globe as the finest example of the longest running authoritarian regime with most successful propaganda. Americans will not be remembered, they will be held accountable.

I live in ohio. They never told us it happened less than an hour away from my school.

I’m 30 and didn’t know this. Thanks Tumblr 😔

woah….

It’s startling, the number of Americans that are saying this is the first time they’ve ever heard of the Kent State shooting… The United States mastered propaganda during WW2, and because the people are immersed in the “patriot” ideology from their very first day of school, they dont realize how authoritarian and nationalistic the American ethos actually is.
