Activism and Protest!

Today we listened to Sandy talk about a riot that happened at Kent State University during the Vietnam war. It was a protest gone terribly wrong. Four STUDENTS killed and eight injured. And no one to blame for their unjustified deaths. The national guard were called in because of an "unruly protest." When a rock was thrown the national guard opened fire upon the students outside the college. This scares the shit out of me because i go off to college in about a year and a half. With this election as it is how are we to know if there will be another Kent State riot? And how are we to know when a protest is about to be put to rest? As long as we stand back and watch these things occur we have to ask ourselves why we aren't doing a thing to stop it!
