People need to read up on the Kent State shootings in 1970. National Guards "men" shot and killed people singing songs. 4 murdered, 9 more shot, then days later at UNM 8 students were stabbed with bayonettes.
There was an investigation, the Guard lied about being under sniper fire, most of these brave heros admitted they were scared because of rocks. No one was held responsible for a massacre of unarmed Americans.
America has a 50 year old problem of cowards with guns.

America has. 250 year old problem of cowards with guns
And we're still talking about Kent State and UNM today as it had a serious affect on the country. But the sad part is, if something like this happened today, a third of Americans would blame the victims. Fox News would tell lies about what actually happened. And it would be swept under the rug and forgotten about by Christmas.
When it happened 80% of the country blamed the kids. We're actually much better off today then we were back then in terms of public opinion and reactions.
The lesson from Kent State is no one in this country really gave a fuck.
Trump world also pardon any offenders if it made it to court.
This kind of thing was way too common back then

Just back then? This is my first time reading this particular excerpt, but the "Black Hitlers" part sticks out. Conservative America really has been doing the same shit forever, it seems. Calling them that is in the same family as saying, "Antifa are the real fascists," etc. Just feed their target audience some shit to parrot that, to them, feels salient but really is meaningless except for redirecting blame and stoking fear and hatred.
Exactly. Paint their opponents with their own crimes in order to sow confusion and shift blame
Some of those shot weren't even protesters, they were just random students walking to class who were completely uninvolved.
