The company in question is barely worth mentioning, such is the contempt we should feel for the originators of the latest phase in this outrage cycle. However, the events they later denied to be referencing (see below) are worth recalling. At the end of April 1970 then president Richard Nixon escalated US involvement in the Vietnam War with the so-called Cambodian Campaign offensive.

The military operation came during a period of rising anti-war sentiment, and the next day 500 students demonstrated at Kent State University, with the US Constitution symbolically burned. Unrest broke out later that night as the protest attracted demonstrators from outside the university.

After the city&#39;s mayor declared a state of emergency the National Guard were ultimately deployed, with tear gas used and a student wounded with a bayonet. The situation worsened further when a building was set alight by protesters, leading to the state&#39;s governor to describe the demonstrators as the &quot;strongest, [most] well-trained, militant revolutionary group that has ever assembled in America&quot;.
