People involved with the May 4th, 1970 incident believe that U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich will help put together pieces of the 40-year old puzzle: Did or didn’t Terry Norman fire a .38-caliber pistol before the shootings began?

A recent set of stories by Plain Dealer writer, John Mangels, said that nationally respected forensics audio experts, Stuart Allen and Tom Owen, discovered from A TAPE PROVIDED BY A STUDENT AT THE 1970 SCENE THAT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF A

(TO ADD STRUBBE AS “THE TERRY STRUBBE TAPE” WITHOUT ANY PRE-VIEW IS CONFUSING)

the Terry Strubbe tape sound peaking evidence of a .38-caliber pistol being fired four times 70 seconds before the National Guard began to fire live rounds at Kent State University students.

Such a historical conundrum has caused Kucinich to ask the Federal Investigative Bureau to hand over documents about KSU student Terry Norman, a figure who has been captured in photographs walking around during May 4th with a .38-caliber pistol.

HAND OVER TO WHOM??? THIS IS UNCLEAR.

“The problem is no one has seen Terry Norman fire the gun. I interviewed one OF my students who grabbed Norman and he didn’t see him fire,” said Jerry Lewis, an Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Kent State and a witness to the events of May 4th. “The FBI did a lot of work trying to find out if he didn’t fire or fired the gun.END OF QUOTE???

CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SUBMITTED THIS, TO WHOM AND WHERE IT WAS PUBLISHED, IF IT WAS? KELLY INVOLVED? OR WAS IT BEING COVERED ALREADY BY THE STATER? IF IT WAS, IT IS NOT NEWSWORTHY FOR YOU TO COVER. WORK FOR THE DKS, NOT FOR RYAN FRIEND AND CLASS DEADLINES. YOU MUST COVER THINGS THAT ARE TO BE USED ONLINE OR IN PRINT, NOT JUST FOR CLASS. GOT IT?

At the time of the shooting, Lewis was an assistant professor of sociology and faculty marshal, AND WAS down in the PRENTICE HALL parking lot. Because of previous military experience, Lewis dropped to the ground after seeing smoke come out of the barrels of the rifles.

He believes that Kucinich has the capabilities of help solving what grey area exists betweens all the documentation.

BETWEENS? BUT ASIDE FROM THAT… YOU RE=INTRODUCE KUCINICH… WHY?

“The Scranton commission says that Norman was an undercover agent for the FBI studying right-wing political groups so the jury is clearly out. Kucinich is a good way to start,” said Lewis. “He is strong in his district and is politically independent.”

(HE MIGHT GET BEAT IN THIS ELECTION.)

Idris Kabir Sayed, a faculty adviser to the May 4th Task Force (M4TF) and lecturer for the Pan-African Studies said “We have been in contact with the US Justice Department and plan to contact Congressman Kucinich. We also intend to speak further with the reporters from all news media outlets who have been covering this story.”

Sayed said the M4TF is planning on having Stuart Allen THE ANALYST WHO DETAILED THE SHOOTINGS HEARD ON THE TAPE, come in the Spring semester to discuss the review of the tape.
