58. 58-percent of Americans blamed the students

Within a week of the shooting, a Newsweek poll indicated that 58 percent of Americans blamed students for the deaths at Kent State. Only 11 percent blamed the National Guard, which was ordered to Kent State by Governor James A. Rhodes ''to eradicate the communist element'' on campus.

Nixon was elected in 1968, saying he had a secret plan to end the war. In truth, he had no clue.

I don't need a link to tell me what I knew to be true at the time. The public at large sided with the draft dodgers in the Ohio National Guard that fired on the students.
