Urban Outfitters CEO Dick Hayne explained away the company's decision to sell what appeared to be a blood-splattered Kent State sweatshirt by saying that it was merely an honest mistake. Hayne maintained that position in an internal email sent to employees yesterday, but chose not to address any underlying problems that got UO into this mess in the first place.

Forty years ago today, National Guard troops opened fire on protesting students at Kent State University, killing four and wounding nine. Let us remember them every time we walk away unharmed after taking over a food court.
