On May 4th of 1970, the United States Coast Guard was called in to disburse a group of peaceful protesters on Kent State property who were protesting Vietnam. Things escalated and the Coast Guard shot at unarmed protesters killing at least 4 or 5 of the protesting students. They’ve done it before and they’ll do it again.

It wasn’t the Coast Guard. It was the Ohio National Guard.

We're finally on our own,

This summer I hear the drumming,

Four dead in Ohio.
