I remember, as a student in high school, seeing this event get barely a paragraph in our textbooks, and it made me so angry. My mother was there on that day; she was friends with three of the four people who died. She was passing by on the way to class, and a friend pushed her down and told her to run when the shooting started. On a different day, she was chased back to her dorm by guardsmen with tear gas for walking with a group of three people, who nonetheless fired it directly into the dorm after she and the other students had made it in. She had to transfer away from Kent State due to the trauma of everything, and she has struggled some degree of PTSD ever since.

Thanks for reminding me what day it was today.

Semi off-topic (?), but I'm a developer and researcher working on moving into game audio and composition. This may or may not be amenable to solo devs (depending on where you feel game resources fall), but I'm looking for games to produce audio/music for so I can gain more experience! Some composition examples are on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/superlumic. Can also provide some small demos including actual gameplay.

Also, for non-solo folks, I have some game programming experience and am comfortable implementing audio [or figuring it out on platforms I haven't used] and would be happy to chat about possible collaborations. :) Email in profile.

Agreed. At the least, it definitely appears to be an abugida (or possibly abjad), and the letter shapes are similar to many Brahmic scripts. My first thought was that it looked kind of like Tibetan cursive but wasn't quite the same, and after some searching it does seem like some older Burmese texts also look similar, and Javanese as well.

But, some of what I'm assuming are the vowel marks are throwing me off, since they don't look quite right for any of the writing systems mentioned so far, at least based on the descriptions I can find. Someone mentioned that it looks like the paper might have been photographed from the wrong side, so maybe this is part of the issue.

Yes, this was my feeling as well. It is very rare that calligraphy in a left-to-right writing system will have letters slanted left. It may have been a photograph from the other side. Rice paper being very thin, it might not be obvious which is the right side.
