57. Also, Kent State was perpetrated by the government...

and involved government soldiers shooting unarmed protesters.

As much a tragedy as VT was--can you imagine if it had been a squad of U.S. Army or the Virginia State Police who had shot those students, rather than a lone loser? That must have been part of the horror of Kent State, I think, the governmental/institutional aspect of the killings. (I'm only 36, so I wasn't born yet, so I'm sort of looking at this from outside.)
