(33,688 posts)I was already against the war - that I got from RFK when I was a mere lad - but Kent State scared the living hell out of me. My dad told me he'd help me get to Canada if the war was still going on when I hit draft age and that calmed me down.

Lyrics by Neil Young
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

(5,359 posts)William Schroeder- He was in the ROTC and was just walking to class. The roommate (b-i-l's uncle, with whom I've shared a couple of big Thanksgiving dinners), said he was present soon after Schroeder was shot, and he could hear the gurgling in Schroeder's lungs.
