The chronicle recalls the Kent State violence starting May 1 1970 as antiwar demonstrators clashed with authorities. Ohio National Guard units were deployed after windows were broken and harassment reported, leading to eventual deadly outcomes two days later.
In Columbus Ohio Governor James A Rhodes, named in a $46 million civil damages suit over the 1970 Kent State shootings, says the verdict exonerates him of liability but offers no total relief until appeals pass. He recalls May 4 1970 as the saddest day and notes he had a duty to deploy the National Guard.
Maj. Gen. James C. Clem said the federal court ruling that 29 officials and guardsmen could not be held liable for the Kent State shootings upholds the guard’s integrity. He argued the guards acted within the law as demonstrators failed to disperse, and said morale across units will rise.
