1. Your national guard will kill you today too
I hate the US government to this day because of those murderers and I am sure that they are still killing innocent women and children just like they did in Vietnam. "Baby killers" is what we called them then. I don't support the troops and I let everyone know that. The moral high ground would be to go AWOL or to never have joined any of armed forces services. To those that have, you should look at how the US government takes care of the Vietnam vets. They shit on them and they will shit on you when you come home from Iraq. You are all going to die from depleted uranium eventually. My own cousin came back from Vietnam and told me he was joining the police force so he could get back at society. To this day I do not trust the police. I don't trust anyone who has killed others during a war because of government policy. Defend the USA yea but go kill over some dumb ass policy? Are you nuts? Why throw away your life for the military industrial complex?

2. And now we know that an order to fire was given
instead of the whitewash story that there was a gunshot and they panicked.

Whatever happened to that hog of a governor?

3. I was having dinner at my parents' house when that happened. I ended up punching my father in the
face and knocking him right out of his chair when he said "We oughta shoot some more of those protestors and then they'll shut up."

And I stood over him and screamed "Would you say the same thing if it was one of US (gesturing toward my sister and brothers) who was fucking DEAD?"

A damn sad memory. But at least some years later, we came to terms and got along well until he died.
