The most outrageous act in recent history by the US Government against its own citizens, citizens who were merely trying to exercise their constitutional right to freedom of speech.. Four unarmed students were killed in cold blood.. Two were not even involved with the protest- they were just going to class.. One was a ROTC student-shot to death by his supposed brothers in arms.. We so patriotically recall 9/11, honor our veterans on Memorial Day, and shoot off fireworks on July 4th-as we should.. However, we tend to sweep the events of May 4, 1970 under the rug.. It's not fun or uplifting to remember ourselves at our worst.. 
But let us never forget the lessons of that horrible day, and continue to honor those heroes who died so we might learn those lessons. Let us always remember...  there are more rights than the freedom to bear arms.. and most are more important.. Weapons kill. Words enlighten..
