The definition of irony, eh? Being shot at a war protest.
Too bad those killed weren't the children of Ohio National Guardsmen or Republican Governor James Rhodes.
A sad day to be sure.
As I was only ten, most of the incident is a vague memory. It is the most significant reason for my interest in politics.
