4. It as Governor Jim Rhoads who set the Ohio National Guard on the
kids at Kent State.
What oust people don't know is that the same NAtional Guard Unit was deployed for two weeks at Ohio State under constant pressure from the students. The demonstrations were much more violent and far more angry than the ones at Kent State. Those kids in uniform should have been rotated out. They should have never been there after what they had just gone through at OSU.
It may have been Nixon's War but this was certainly Rhoades' battle.
