About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

It's very possible considering how militarized the police have become.
Can't forget the Jackson State shootings either. Two black students were killed; it was around the same time as the Kent State shootings. The Jackson State killings got about one billionth of the publicity that Kent State got.
Jackson State happened after Kent State, though fairly close. Even ignoring the racial realities of the time, the latter shooting not getting as much attention doesn't surprise me. What does shock and dismay me is that no one was ever convicted of murder in either case. Hell, in recent years, a Seattle cop killed, without cause, a deaf man (John T. Williams) who had a 3" long woodcarving knife. The knife is legal in that city.
