They shot into a crowd that was walking away.<BR/><BR/>Yet the slain and wounded students themselves, and their families, often have been blamed for the events of that day.<BR/><BR/>The FBI concluded: "we have some reason to believe that the claim by the National Guard that their lives were endangered by the students was fabricated subsequent to the event."<BR/><BR/>And as the famously quoted conclusion of President Nixon's Scranton Commission report puts the matter:"The indiscriminate firing of rifles into a crowd of students and the deaths that followed were unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable."Shimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134984926357545516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19061226.post-1146751776343219072006-05-04T09:09:00.000-05:002006-05-04T09:09:00.000-05:00Oh hi again, thought I'd let you know I linked you...Oh hi again, thought I'd let you know I linked you to one of my blogs...<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Candy<BR/>http://gnosticminx.blogspot.com/Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19061226.post-1146750718080840182006-05-04T08:51:00.000-05:002006-05-04T08:51:00.000-05:00Nice memorial post, I wasn't aware today was an an...Nice memorial post, I wasn't aware today was an anniversary.
