Kent State
I was thinking about recent disruptions in citizen participation with regard to the guaranteed rights as provided in the First Amendment.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Let us go back to Ohio in 1970!

If you line up the sides in this massacre, you will discern that 18 year-olds and 19 year-olds and 20 year- olds for the most part, are challenging 18 year-olds and 19 year-olds and 20 year-olds.
One side is in uniform (duly payed and sponsored by the government) whilst the the other side is made up of other folks with different types of uniforms that are non-military in composition.
