I did not try to defend anyone's killing of students. I said why I could not judge about calling out the National Guard, and cited respectable instances of doing so. I know you are not the brightest bulb on the thread, but try not to be such a jerk.....

As opposed the LBJ's de facto killing of many Americans by sending them into the jungles of Southeast Asia to encourage a war to fatten the pockets of his buddies in the military industrial complex. Your bias stinks. LoF

I admit to being confused. Are you saying that it is not common (or seldom done) to send in the National Guard during riots?? No person, Blue, Brown, Black, White or indifferent has a right to riot and destroy the property of others. I'm sorry, its against the law and must not be condoned. And yes, sometimes people that take the law into their own hands are sometimes either busted up or outright killed. That's the real world and it happens. A person should know what the consequences are for his actions and react accordingly. TTT
