A Protestor Remembers the Kent State Shootings

Dean Kahler was wounded in the Kent State University shootings. 25 years ago today, the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students demonstrating against raids into Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were injured. The National Guard and Governor of Ohio (who ordered the Guard's presence) were exonerated of any responsibility for the shooting. Kahler was the only survivor to be paralyzed. He is currently a substitute teacher still living in Ohio.
