[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people trying to compare this to Kent State. 
This is not a college campus.  These are not students.[/quote]

[u]Satrom, a Democrat,[/u] was elected in 1969 as the first full-time mayor of Kent, taking office in early 1970.

[color=red]Five months later, after a night of rioting in the downtown area of Kent on May 1–2, 1970, he called Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes and requested that the National Guard be sent to the campus of Kent State University to deal with the unrest, which was mainly in response to April 29, 1970, announcement of the United States' invasion of Cambodia in the Vietnam War.[/color] The Guard was deployed to the campus on May 3 and the city was placed under martial law that evening. On May 4, while breaking up a mid-day protest on the campus, the Guardsmen shot into the crowd, killing four students and wounding nine others. The university was closed immediately and the city of Kent was placed under a 5:00 PM curfew with all entrances to the city blocked off.[3]
