They still call it the Kent State Massacre. 4 people.

So I'm not sure where the line between "true massacre" and "just some killins'" is.

Shit! does that mean we have to send him royalties every time we use that term?

But they don't count being as they were drug induced, anti-American, socialist agitators.

And probably zero-liability voters as well.

Well that would be a bit of a reach. But the killing of a few protesters everyday in the current unrest of the Middle East could hardly be compared to what happened to the Jews in WWll, the Cambodians in the Killing Fields, or the 100,000 people hacked to death in 100 days in Rawanda, hell, it can't even come close to what happened in Serbia as the UN sat on their asses as men, women and children were slaughtered. And how about the events in Iraq where Saddam gassed the Kurds?!?!? or how about the Armenians, if you want to go back a bit further. Where was the press???? No press, but the events still happened....None of that compares to anything that has happened anywhere in the current unrest in the Middle East. Nothing. Yea, so far, there have been no "true massacres"... well unless you have something else to put up.
