The Kent State shootings indictments show Watergate’s reach into justice not politics. Nixon’s restraint of the Justice Department delayed accountability, then reform began with Richardson and grand jury probes. The writer argues such indictments help restore law over time. The piece voices concerns about televised impeachment debates and how transparency interacts with congressional rules.
The piece weighs televising an impeachment as a people’s business and a democracy lesson versus risks of turning proceedings into a television spectacle. It cautions about divided public mood, camera pressure on lawmakers, and global scrutiny, urging careful timely consideration.
A mixed flock of grackles, starlings, redpolls and others skates across icy skies while the author imagines a spring rummage sale amid cluttered closets. Memories of inheritance, old costumes, and keepsakes fill the attic as the piece shifts to a political note on Peter Rodino and Nixon impeachment pressures.
The article portrays Representative Rodino and New Jersey politics amid impeachment talks. Waldie accuses the White House of stalling while Rodino favors measured steps and patience. Rodino recalls Johnson’s impeachment as a cautionary precedent, stressing fairness and thoroughness. A Texan-themed quip reflects regional gunny humor in the gasoline shortage era.
F B Smith recalls the Kent State campus riot nearly four years ago. Ideology fueled violence as the ROTC building burned. National Guardsmen protected the public, and four people died. A state grand jury later absolved the Guardsmen and indicted 25 individuals.
A federal grand jury has indicted eight Guardsmen from the Kent State riot after most charges were dropped on legal grounds. The author denounces the proceedings as a travesty of justice and accuses ideologues of shifting blame from rioters to the guardsmen, arguing the story continues toward a broader moral struggle.
The Kent State shootings case resurfaces as a grand jury indicts eight National Guardsmen, after years of debates over justice. A Michigan or Ohio context recalls Mitchell, Richardson, and Pottinger pushing for action despite earlier outcomes. The FBI report later challenged the guardsmen’s self defense claim, asserting fabricated danger after the event.
