For the lazy ones...

- The internet has come a long way from the original shock sites and scream videos to memeing Wikipedia articles of actually horrific real life events.

- None of the shooters got jailed??

  They were Ohio National Guard acting in the line of duty. Since then the Kent State incident is used in training as a counter example, how not to control a protest / riot.

A friend's mom was there in 1970. Wasn't a good time.

Unsure what the implication is. The Kent State shootings are common knowledge in the US, it's taught in schools, no one needs to be tricked into knowing it happened.

- You think that all people are american?

  No...where did I say that?
  
  Is there some other country that's dealing with a crackdown on student protests at the moment where referencing Kent State would be salient?

- Well, the US doesn't even have a National curriculum, so I'm willing to be that there are probably many Americans who don't know anything about Kent state.

  My high school did a terrible job with teaching about it, I think it was mentioned briefly but with no real detail. I did go to high school in Florida, but I graduated in 2008 before things got really bad there.

- It sure the fuck wasn't taught in school, and I live in the fucking state.

- Usually this format says something like "google joe biden inflation rule 34 to learn more". So now I have to assume that you actually went and googled that :P

  Yeah I’m personally a fan of “in 2008 the Sonic the Hedgehog series sold so much merch that people actually stopped buying houses. It directly led to the 2008 housing bubble and the massive inflation that followed. Following the recession, congress passed a rule, limiting when, where, and how much merchandise a single series was allowed to sell in stores. Google ‘Sonic Inflation Rule 34’ to find out more.”

The protesters wish they were shot at by shitty aim storm troopers

But seriously, history repeats, so keep the Ohio St. tragedy in mind as these current protests play out.
