You said that National: Guard units fired into a group of peaceful demonstrators at Kent State Uni- versity, killing four and wounding nine. Mobs are seldom “peaceful.” These “students” confronting the National Guard at Kent State that day in 1970 con: ted a mob. Their zeal for a cause led them astray. Four had todie before reason regained the upper hand. They were armed with bricks, rocks and clubs, and were scarcely in a mood to exercise dis- cretion. It is ever so easy, after the fact, to declare what was should not have been. ALLAN E. BOVEY, SPRINGFIELD, MASS. DEAR ALLAN: Read on: DEAR ABBY: For years I have fumed as I read the sob stories about the “peaceful anti-war demonstra- tors” at Kent State. I know Vietnam wasn’ pular war — I hated it, too. It is too bad these demonstrators were killed — but peaceful? NO! 1. These “peaceful” demonstra- tors burned the ROTC building 2. These “peaceful” demonstra tors had been ordered to leave, but refused. 3. These National Guardsmen were about the same age as the “peaceful” demonstrators. They were there obeying orders.

Small wonder someone panicked and fired Everyone has heard about the “peaceful” demonstrators who were injured or killed, but the public has never heard about the guardsman who phoned his young wife and cried as he told her what he had seen, and who today, at age 48, still has prob- lems as a result of what happened that day, and the subsequent ques- tioning and harassment these inno- cent young men were subjected to because of the Kent State riots! No, I wasn't there — but my 22- year-old brother was an Ohio Na tional Guardsman protecting his country, his state and the taxpayers’ lives and property. HAD IT WITH KENT STATE IN OHIO eee DEAR ABBY: Perhaps being at- tacked with bricks, bottles, etc., is a peaceful demonstration to you, but those 18-year-old guardsmen were scared into retaliation.
