Kent State was only, what, four people? Barely registers by modern mass shooting standards. The US is inured to violence.

For reference, Euromaidan involved the death of over a hundred protesters before the government finally collapsed.

The thing about Kent State wasn't that four people were killed. The thing about Kent State was that the US military killed four people - four US civilians.

The people of the US may be inured to violence. They aren't inured to violence from their own military, though.
