Jim Rhodes ordered the National Guard into the city of Kent the weekend
leading up to
May 4th - when violent looting and rampaging was done throughout the city by
the 'non-violent' protestors. The overall psyche of the protestors wasn't
nearly as innocent and pristine as the mythology has portrayed it to be.

FWIW - I think this 'date in history' is far more important to those who
like
to keep regurgitating it year after year after year, than it does to those
of us who actually live in the state/region.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
