I was a freshman at St. Mary's College and many of us went on strike (St. Mary's and Notre Dame) immediately following the Kent State shootings.

One point of contention I take with historians that refer to this terrible event as the "Kent State Shootings" when, in reality, this was a massacre not unlike the event in Boston, circa 1770.

GOP Official Suggesting ‘Another Kent State’ After Berkeley Protests Resigns
February 9, 2017 at 11:56 am

MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan Republican has resigned after causing outrage by suggesting that protesters at University of California, Berkeley, should be shot.

Dan Adamini, secretary of the Marquette County GOP, told The Mining Journal of Marquette he stepped down so he isn’t “a distraction and a hindrance to the work of the party.”

Adamini last week tweeted: “Violent protesters who shut down free speech? Time for another Kent State perhaps. One bullet stops a lot of thuggery.”

In 1970, the Ohio National Guard fatally shot four Kent State students during Vietnam War protests.
