I wasn't even born when Kent State happened, but OccupyWallStNYC feels like that to me.

1. I can tell you the day after Kent State it was all the country talked about

It was extremely intense. This will be in the news but it will be reduced to a side note. This is a going to be a haul.

2. Yes, it was intense, but the brutality had its intended effect.

The Sixties/early Seventies peace and social justice movement was never at the same strength again.

How do we avoid the same fate now?

3. I disagree. It was at the end of the war and we helped stop the war

Kent State was the frenzied height and it didn't stop until the Paris Peace treaties

4. kent state and occupynyc

I know someone who actually was there protesting there on the day of the Kent State shootings. She told me what it was like that day.

I'm watching this. This looks like the police are wrecking everything so yes comparison is apt.. though I don't know of casualties that were caused by this raid. it looks like a wrecking crew hit it.
