The Kent State shootings were both unavoidable and preventable: unavoidable in that all the discordant forces of a turbulent decade flowed together on May 4, 1970, on one Ohio campus preventable in that every party to the tragedy made the wrong choices at the wrong time in the wrong place. A horror of far greater proportions was narrowly averted minutes later when the Guard and students reassembled on the Commons. Twenty-four minutes later, Guardsmen launched a 13-second, 67-shot barrage that left four students dead and nine wounded, one paralyzed for life. TolkienĪt midday on May 4, 1970, after three days of protests, several thousand students and the Ohio National Guard faced off at opposite ends of the grassy campus Commons at Kent State University.
