Sunday, May 3, 1970
During a press conference at the Kent firehouse, an emotional Governor Rhodes pounded on the desk, which can be heard in the recording of his speech. He called the student protesters un-American, referring to them as revolutionaries set on destroying higher education in Ohio.
We've seen here at the city of Kent especially, probably the most vicious form of campus-oriented violence yet perpetrated by dissident groups... ...this is when we're going to use every part of the law enforcement agency of Ohio to drive them out of Kent. We are going to eradicate the problem. We're not going to treat the symptoms. ...and these people just move from one campus to the other and terrorize the community. They're worse than the
brown shirts and the communist element and also the
night riders and the vigilantes. They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America. ..
"Twenty-eight
National Guard soldiers fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent
paralysis. Students
Allison Beth Krause, 19,
Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, and
Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, died on the scene, while
William Knox Schroeder, 19, was pronounced dead at
Robinson Memorial Hospital in nearby Ravenna shortly afterward. ..."
