Non dead in Ohio



Nearly 40 years ago,Neil Young famously wrote the song Ohio after four students protesting about the American incursion into Cambodia were shot dead by the Ohio National Guard.

The incident happened at Kent State University and resulted in a country wide student strike and 100,000 people attending a protest in Washington.

History repeated itself at the University this weekend,I hasten to say without the deaths when according to AP

An end-of-year college block party spiraled out of control when police fired baton rounds and used pepper spray to break up hundreds of rioting students who sparked a string of street fires at Kent State University.
