No one cares about any of that.

All anyone cares about is May 4th, 1970, when several National Guardsmen shot and killed 4 students during a Vietnam War protest. 2 of the students weren't actually involved in the protest, they were just walking to class. The shooting was a pretty big event - all colleges in Ohio were shut down for several days. While is was a bad day for students, it was an excellent day for photographers and newscasters, who flocked to the scene and throughly enjoyed themselves.
