No.
Yeah.
I was the one that killed people because, you know, I had been a member of SDS, to be honest.
What's SDS?
Students for a Democratic Society.
It was kind of lefty, but it was really just against illegitimate authority controlling your life.

They thought that people should have locally their own agency over their own government.

Yeah.
In other words, not big government.

you know, unforeseen.
They shot at us, but they shot over the heads of all the students who were closest to them because the National Guard was composed of kids who were the same age as me, right?
And my friends.
And I think because they had gas masks on and they could see us, they didn't really want to
shoot us point blank, like, like ducks in a shooting gallery.
