>I think the protester in Tianemen square had more of a chance than the students in Kent State.
There was literally ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more killed at Tianemen square.

from this, we get at least 1 million people at the protests, but I dont know how many in one day, etc, so this gets tricky.
from wikipedia, I believe there was about 2k at the kent protests. so 4/2000 ~ .002 and 5k (middle of 10k) you get about .005 - but this would vary a lot depending on what numbers you use.
to be pedantic (you did say literally), orders of magnitude would suggest a multiplier of at least 10, which it doesn't seem we have. Though I concede, who knows how many really died in the Tianemen protests. Kent is pretty well known, which does say something
edit: does say something about the freedoms we have in press
