Sadly it's not unusual for the National Guardsman to be put in those kind of situations with unloaded weapons.

Most likely, they are carrying unloaded M-16s.

Even the US Marine guards in Lebanon (1983) were carrying unloaded M-16s.

I would donate rounds and magazines and loan them a rifle.

Yes, it is only a shame that innocent bystanders were hit. The Guardsmen should have taken careful aim at the leaders/instigators of the riot.

And the Guardsmen should have been issued highly frangible rounds to avoid overpenetration.

Yeah, all those Weather Underground bombings and at least one sniper attack were peaceful too right?

You conveniently leave out any rioters. In the sixties, our major city streets looked much like the streets of Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis do today. Cities ransacked, blocks burned, banks and armored cars robbed to finance the terrorism.

Did you live through those times, or did you read about it in the Candyland Tribune?

How about them Black Panthers, huh? The ultimate benevolent organization?
