Just a matter of time before we have another Kent State.

My fear is that the next one will be worse.

With the artillery that’s out there these days, it’s almost a certainty.

Plus the police which seem even more bloodthirsty

Police have been taught that the only way to deal with anyone who doesn't immediately comply is through violence. And increased militarization doesn't help. We live in a police state but the narratives created by the ruling class have made people forget it

But what if a nuclear bomb drives a truck through the crowd and stabs everyone?? Please disregard the police beating and gassing people over there, think about how horrible it would be if a bad actor made it in there!

And happen because a foreign country willed it so.

It was really close at UT. State police, city police, and national guard called in by spineless university president (Jay Hartzell).

Fuck Jay Hartzell. Hope he gets recalled. No golden parachute.

The fact that no charges are being filed should result in a strong condemnation and accountability for the administration and the cops. You put everyone in danger when no crime was being committed. There won't be, but there should be.

Don’t forget about Jackson State.

The event happened 11 days after the Kent State shootings
