On this day, I do not shill for an entertainment property that has been over-milked for capitalistic gain by an already multi-hundred-billion-dollar corporation.

Today, I remember Allison, Bill, Jeff, and Sandy. On this day in 1970, my Alma Mater was senselessly attacked.

Students were gathered to protest a war, when the authorities descended on them. Sound familiar recently?

But this time, after a suspicious huddle By the National Guard troops, live bullets were fired on the students, who were more than a football field’s length away from the troops. Half of those killed were part of the protest; the other half were not - Bill was even in the ROTC program on campus. This attack would become known as the Kent State Massacre. 9 students were wounded, 1 of those paralyzed for life, and as the song says, “Four Dead in Ohio.”

Never forget the lengths government goes to in order to keep us in line, whether it means monitoring our every communication, or firing senselessly into a crowd of unarmed students.

I hope you are resting easily, Jeff, Allison, Bill, and Sandy, and may the gods have blessed your sacrifice in your next lives.

Mary Ann Vecchio screams with her arms outstretched while kneeling over the body of student Jeffery Miller, who was shot through the mouth and killed on May 4, 1970 at Kent State. His blood runs down the pavement behind Vecchio and pools against the curb.
Student John Clearly lays in agony on the grass after being shot by the National Guard at Kent State on May 4, 1970. Several other students kneel over him to provide aid. Clearly would thankfully survive the attack.

For the occasion I visited the #bunker museum on #Vlieland island, an original bunker from the Atlantikwall built by the Nazis some 70 years ago. Dutch only: nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunker
