Great link. The government and the rich have been killing free working men for a long time.

Regrettably this was not an isolated event. The trusting subservient attitude pervasive in our society today has been proven to fail. Backlash is inevitable. Labor wars brought about the standard of living that is slipping away.

History: US Military Interventions Against Domestic civil, Racial and labor “Unrest” | S. Brian Willson

Quote:
Between 1775 and 1994, the U.S. military has been utilized by the President on at least 136 occasions to contain and overwhelm labor “unrest” (80 times) and racial or civil “unrest” (56 times). [Sweeney, Jerry K., Ed. (1996). A Handbook of American Military History. Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, pp. 3-269]. But “A Report Submitted to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence,” Violence in America: Historical and Comparative Perspectives [Graham and Gurr, Eds. (1969). Bantam Books, p. 380], discloses over 160 occasions on which State and Federal troops have intervened in labor disputes alone. Note, that this figure includes use of State militia as well as US military. This is twice the number of military interventions into labor disputes than reported in Sweeney’s 1996 Handbook of American Military History (above).

The civil rights movements and labor movements of yesterday would likely be treated today as domestic terrorism.

Ain't it great to live in a free country?
