If We HIT The Streets, Remember THIS CAN HAPPEN And Remember The Mad Man In Office Now.

May 4th 1970 Kent State Ohio-Never Forget.



Twenty-nine Ohio National Guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others. Weapons used were M1 Garand rifle, M1911 pistol and 12-gauge shotguns.

The country will be teetering on the brink.

trump brings about chaos.

It's his history but it will be our history to not let him bring the country down.

mentally and our way of life is being squandered and taken away from us. We are not fucking Russia or a third world country. I am not promoting anything in the way of violence.

I don't want another Kent State massacre, but I sure as hell don't want my country given over to a fascist madman. Not without a fight.

In fact, just now listening to CSN&Y sing 'Ohio', I again felt the tightness of grief in my throat.

I was the drummer in a small band and this song was in one of our sets. Often I'd have tears down my cheeks when we sang this verse:

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

There's no forgetting something like that. Nor should there be.

And this time it's for ALL the marbles.

We're on the precipice now. We CAN'T be rounded up and herded over the cliff at gunpoint.

We're going to take our country back and the only people standing in our way will be the fascists tRump supporters.
They will be quickly defeated by the police and National Guard and the cherry on top will be that they are rounded up and ready to be put away. We can proceed to Tribunals for the trumpists in our government.
The good news is there will be a huge amount of property and businesses to split up between the poor and needy because the tRump supporters are going away for life.
