Can Trump Follow Nixon’s 1968 ‘Law And Order’ Campaign To Victory?

Four dead in Ohio: The truth about the ‘bloodbath’ at Kent State

"His gallery includes a laissez-faire university president who let things drift; a mayor who panicked in calling for the Guard after an initial night of rioting that was less about Cambodia than beer; an overly zealous law-and-order governor in a tough election campaign; and Guard commanders who didn’t have a clear sense of what they were trying to accomplish.

Means also spends time providing the context within which these specific mistakes were made: a country as badly polarized as the one we live in now, which left little room for the sort of reasoned dialogue that might have averted a bloodbath. One sees this most clearly through Means’ chronicle of the aftermath.

Numerous residents of Kent and parents of students responded with variations on the wish that soldiers had finished the job by killing all the protesters.

Parents of one of the dead — a ROTC student and athlete in the wrong place at the wrong time — received a letter calling their boy a “destructive, riot-making communist” and advising the parents to “be thankful he is gone.”

So how was Nixon or Trump responsible for any of that?

BTW, the guard fired on the students because they were throwing bricks.

"The Kent State protests — initially triggered by President Richard Nixon’s April 30 speech announcing that Washington was expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia — weren’t orchestrated by outside agitators. Or by what Nixon, on May 1, castigated as “bums blowing up campuses.”

There were no snipers, as some of the Guard would later claim. Nor were the soldiers’ lives ever endangered by the bricks, stones and human waste being hurled their way.

Most important, the U.S. Department of Justice concluded that the students were farther from the soldiers than alleged and weren’t advancing; nine of the 13 casualties were shot in the side or back.

So why did the Guard shoot at all?

Means is dispassionate and fair in noting that most of them were young, sleep deprived, inexperienced, badly trained, poorly led, angry and scared.

Perhaps the National guard should have had riot control gear instead of combat weapons.

Fighting against changes to a system that allows "law enforcement" to murder citizens is NOT suporting "Law and Order".

It is supporting the worst type of fascism.

The American people are smart enough to figure that out...so Trump will lose...bigly!

No citizen was murdered.

When ordinary people look at the George Floyd death they don't see a citizen murdered. They don't identify. What they see is a man high on fentanyl AND meth that had a heart attack. The majority of people do not see themselves risking brutalization. They say "this could not happen to me. I don't use either fentanyl or meth. I don't pass counterfeit bills." The officer was taking out the trash.

Americans can figure it out. Trump will lose. There will be justice.

Which justice would you like? The justice that you saw when officer Darren Wilson walk out of a courtroom. Or would you prefer the justice given to George Zimmerman? It's the same thing over and over. A Black thug is given undeserved posthumous sainthood. A discovery that most people don't identify with said thug but the persecuted individual that caused the thug's demise.

That's a fact.

You are a horribly sick individual.
I do not believe you are for real. You may be a sick jokester acting like the most disgusting human being you could imagine or you are a Russian trying to make the Trump supporters look even worse than they are.

He is correct.

I get struck by lightning three times in a row, before this happens to me.

The cops should have not gone so far, but don't fool yourself, this is a very very low chance event, especially if you are honest hard working citizen.

Fighting against changes to a system that allows "law enforcement" to murder citizens is NOT suporting "Law and Order".

It is supporting the worst type of fascism.

The American people are smart enough to figure that out...so Trump will lose...bigly!

Supporting black murderers , who murder innocent blacks in the inner cities isnt supporting(not suporting) "Law and Order". Why do you condemn the action of one, but turn a blind eye to the real issue against blacks? Oh yeah, youre a racist prick.

Being against "law enforcement" murdering people does not, in any way indicate that I support citizens murdering each other.

Your statement is idiotic.

Then why is it the raving lunatic lefties who want to go after all cops for the actions of a few bad ones, but not a peep from those same lefties when many blacks murder many other blacks? My statement is a FACT.. not Joe Biden's Truth..

Stop trying to change the subject.

If police would stop killing non-violent people and DO THEIR JOB by pursuing violent criminals there wouldn't be any issue.

Stereotyping ALL black men as being violent criminals and killing them for no valid reason is murder.

It is absolutely justified to blame the entire justice system for the acts of a few bad cops. If those few bad cops knew that they would not be protected by the rest of the police and the justice system they wouldn't be murdering non-violent people.

It entirely is NOT reasonable to blame the justice system for few bad individuals.

The system arrested them and condemned them.

You are a fucking moron.

Those police were only arrested because of nation wide protests. The medical examiner falsified the cause of death to protect the police. They should have been charged immediately after the murder. It shouldn't take millions of people in the streets to get murderers charged.

And yet, they were fired immediately. This is just speculation on your part, based on nothing at all.

Can Trump Follow Nixon’s 1968 ‘Law And Order’ Campaign To Victory?

President Donald Trump has responded to recent protests with calls for law and order, prompting comparisons to former President Richard Nixon.

dailycaller.com

Nixon wasn't the incumbent, Johnson was. Nixon was the guy who claimed that he could restore the order that Johnson couldn't.

In today's scenario, Joe Biden is Nixon, and Trump is Johnson, so yes, Biden can follow Nixon's law and order playbook to victory.

Trump has settled ALL of his lawsuits involving felony charges, or potential felony charges, by playing huge fines with "no admission of guilt". These charges including felony civil rights violations, bribing of public officials, and multiple cases of fraud.

Al Capone was never convicted of any crimes either, but that doesn't mean he didn't commit them. It simply means he terrorized and murdered witnesses until there was nobody who could or would testify against him.

Sure Epstein committed suicide while in federal custody and on suicide watch. Sure he did.

We're talking about what Nixon did that makes him responsible for the people the National Guard shot in Ohio.

Your theory is that Nixon said something that the students didn't like, and you believe that's a justification for throwing bricks at the National Guard?

How long have you been huffing glue, you brain damaged moron?

How is either Trump or Nixon responsible for the death of George Floyd?

This stuff is all interchangeable in your mind, isn't it?

I never justified throwing bricks or shit at the Guardsmen. It's not a theory, it's history. Students across the country protested over the so called invasion of Cambodia. Nixon said he was the law and order guy but he wasn't, he was a criminal.

Interesting that the 2 most criminally minded presidents are employing the same methodology.

How is Trump "criminally minded?"

Does reality have any connection with the crap you post?

Fraud is a criminal offense.

What "fraud" has Trump been convicted of?

Youre a fucking idiot.

Judge finalizes $25 million Trump University settlement for students of 'sham university'

He settled a lawsuit, moron. He wasn't convicted of the crime of fraud.

He settled a fraud lawsuit you idiot.

ROFL! It's still just a lawsuit, you fucking moron. If you believe he has a felony on his record, then please list the statute he was convicted of.

Trump has settled ALL of his lawsuits involving felony charges, or potential felony charges, by playing huge fines with "no admission of guilt". These charges including felony civil rights violations, bribing of public officials, and multiple cases of fraud.

Al Capone was never convicted of any crimes either, but that doesn't mean he didn't commit them. It simply means he terrorized and murdered witnesses until there was nobody who could or would testify against him.

Sure Epstein committed suicide while in federal custody and on suicide watch. Sure he did.

I'd bet Epstein is alive. It was probably a look alike that they found in that cell.

Billionaire narcissists don't go down that easily.
