This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). May the 4th is a significant date for numerous reasons. For some, it’s more of happy date on the calendar that represents a nod to the iconic Star Wars franchise and a play on words for "May the Force Be with You." But for Kent State University in Ohio, May 4th has a much more serious, significant, and somber meaning. On May the 4th of 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired shots into a crowd of students who were protesting the Vietnam War. As a result, four students were killed and nine were injured.
