Kent State Massacre: An Accidental Atrocity?

FOUR DAYS IN MAY 50 YEARS AGO - On Monday, May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen shot and killed four students and injured nine during an anti-war rally on the campus of Kent State University, inflaming campus protests nationwide and the cancellation of many classes. A massacre that further divided a country. I was a student at the University of Missouri-Columbia at that time and was outraged at the killings, subsequently joining a sit-down protest at the administrative actions to unconstitutionally quell student protests. But what really happened that day at Kent State is still debated today. Since that time, I thought about and investigated what really happened and, surprising myself, I developed a new hypothesis. Today, I'm unveiling my hypothesis in a 2,000+-word essay for anyone to read. A PDF version is added here. I welcome any thoughts about my conjecture.
