The National Guard did not use its remaining supply of tear gas, bayonets, or good judgment. They were angry and frustrated by the protestors, but the circumstances certainly were inconsistent with their claims of self-defense. Even though they lost a trial due to a technicality, Justice Department attorneys concluded: "They were not surrounded." They also concluded that that none of the four fatalities "was in a position to pose even a remote danger to the national Guard at the time of firing." A presidential commission similarly condemned the shootings as "unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable." For information visit www.nrbooks.com/kent-state-newinfo-fourdeadinohio.htm
