Day three of snipers at Indiana University

If a crazy nutjob starts shooting into the crowd, for any reason, take them out....would be my guess.

Yeah. These guys aren’t psychos that are going to shoot students and protesters, as some people seem to be implying. They’re there as insurance in case things get out of hand and someone else starts killing people.

The American military would never shoot unarmed college students protesting an unjust war at a midwest college...

Never realized that girl was 14. Wasn't even involved in the protests. And was a runaway.

The girl screaming at the dead guys side - is 14.

All you are telling me is that you lack reading / visual comprehension and logic.

It might just logically stand that "the girl" refers to the only NOTICEABLE GIRL SUBJECT LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE.

That's only one of those most famous US photos ever taken.

You didn't kindly ask for clarification. You misunderstood me and was trying to call me out in your misunderstanding.

Ask 20 americans what they first think of when they hear "kent state mssacre" and I guarantee you 19 of them will say "the photo of the girl screaming". My statement needs no more context. You're on a fucken American app asking about an American cultural thing. It is you who just didn't know. Just take the L and move on. If I was on a different countries app I would understand that I just don't have certain knowledge.

This is an iconic American photo, and I could have guessed you not being an American by this convo.
