There had been many people and students protesting the war all that week, they went so far as to burn the soldier education building on campus. Since the protest had gotten so out of hand, the national guard was called. Then on May 4th, by the Kent State victory bell, the protest went on, the national guard had surrounded the protest and were throwing tear gas into the crowd. The crowd soon was filling the tear gas cans with cement and throwing them back at the guard, the guard somehow had a miscommunication (as they put it) and fired. The shots hit 13 students, wounding 9, and killing 4.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

They were college students... whether or not "kids" would be fitting would depend on your POV, I suppose. It occurred on May 4, 1970, at the Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio. In addition to the four students who were killed, nine others were wounded.
