May 4th 1970

As I listened to Ms. McLaughlin and looked at pictures of the tragic event on May 4th I was shocked. I find it hard to believe that the national guards were called in because kids were protesting something. They should have the right to make a point. But what I find even harder to believe is that the national guards felt threatened because the kids were throwing flowers. Also the national guards shooting 4 kids, leading to their deaths is terrible and then hearing that they don't even regret it is even worse. You would never think that after sending your child off to college they would end up getting murdered and you would never get to see them again. Also hearing that the national guards who shoot and killed the kids never and will never have charges against them. The thought is so terrible and then all the pictures of the event just shook me and it just doesn't seem right that that should happen. The day must of seemed so terrible for all those that witnessed the murder and the carelessness the national guards had towards the young adults. It is really cool that those kids were compassionate enough about what they thought was right that they were willing to do what it took to fight against it.
