I have a friend whose father narrowly missed being there; if he had been, I might not have had my best friend.

What you have to remember, Doodler, is that the majority of those students weren't picking a fight. You have to remember that the photos of the time show that the nearest students were out of throwing range and therefore were no danger to the National Guardsmen. In fact, by all accounts, the National Guardsmen were moving away, had gone nearly over a ridge and out of sight, and turned and fired. This isn't a riot. But no one knows exactly why those students died.
