4 Dead In Ohio
On April 30th, President Nixon announced on national television that a
massive American-South Vietnamese troop offensive into Cambodia was in progress. A spontaneous anti-war rally began in the street. On 2May the Mayor declared an emergency curfew and confined all students to campus grounds. The students retreated to the Commons to find the ROTC building smoldering at both ends. 3 May found the National Guard on campus if full combat gear with gas masks. Pres. Nixon had the FBI and the CIA involved with undercover agents. On 4May, the NG were ordered to disperse a peaceful anti-war rally and after doing so, they eventually retreated to the top of a hill. The students assumed the confrontation was over. Many students began to walk to their next classes. As the guard reached the crest of the Blanket Hill, near the Pagoda of Taylor Hall, about a dozen members of Troop G Ohio NG simultaneously turned around 180 degrees, aimed and fired their weapons into the crowd as they were ordered verbally to do. A total of 67 shots were fired in 13 seconds. 4 Dead In Ohio; Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder. Nine injured. -- http://cc.st/Chrissy-Cruiser-The-Hellion-Rebellion |

It's ironic that I capitalized on the death of these American students. Probably the most important lesson ever learned at an American place of learning. David Crosby cried after this take." -------- 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 gunning 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?
