    Exactly. As horrific as the Kent State Massacre was, it changed people’s perceptions of the anti-war protestors. Suddenly these weren’t just a bunch of whiny kids who didn’t want to get drafted, these were people who didn’t want to die senseless deaths. Imagine if the Kent State Massacre never happened and the protest carried on without incident. Nothing would have changed.
