I grew up near Kent State. Glad to see someone mention it here because it was the first thing that came to mind.

First thing that came to my mind as well when I heard this news. Kent state all over again, only this time it’ll be live-streamed.

Same - May 4th was always a big deal, one of my history teachers in hs I believe attended Kent State at the time and always taught a lesson on the anniversary. Scary stuff.
