- robotresearcher 8y agoThey don’t have to be equivalent for Kent State to have been a US based massacre of protestors.
- DmenshunlAnlsis 8y agoIf we’re calling 4 people killed a massacre, then the word has just lost all meaning. It was horrible, criminal, and infamous, but massacre is hyperbole especially when compared to the thousand+ (someone else in this thread posted a BBC article citing 10,000) killed at Tiananmen it’s not even remotely similar.
