Left-wing radical Terry Robbins, who died making explosives for Weather Underground, appears to be the strongest connection Kent State University shares with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, who played a starring role in last weekends commemoration of a 1970 riot that saw four Kent State students killed at the hands of the Ohio National Guard.
Ayers, a co-founder of Weather Underground once pursued by the FBI while the terrorist wing of the socialist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) conducted a series of domestic bombings intended to disrupt the empire, was invited to the weekend-long event at the public university by the May 4th Task Force.
Robbins, one of three Weather Underground members who died in a March 6, 1970 explosion while assembling bombs in a Greenwich Village apartment, was instrumental in orchestrating Vietnam War protests at Kent State. The bomb that killed Robbins also killed Ayerss then-girlfriend, and was allegedly destined for a dance at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

The relevant portion:
During his May 4 keynote at the Kent State event, Ayers called U.S. veterans war criminals, insisted he is against violence, shrugged off Weather Undergrounds terrorism as property damage, and claimed his groups terror attacks in protest of the Vietnam War had no relationship at all to the recent jihadist bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Now I'm not opposed to letting him speak or anything of the sort, but there is never any justification for blowing things up and trying to justify it as merely "property damage" seems rather insane to me. Simply put, if you think bombing things is alright then you have no moral high ground when it comes to government violence.
I'm glad I skipped Kent's May 4th commemorations this year if they had this kind of sociopath speaking, and am even more glad to be finished with them altogether.
