People did die in their thousands - in some places on this earth they still do, for exactly the same reasons. But we are still here, as are the people in the countries where even now they are still dying in their thousands. The human race is NOT dying out, or in fear of extinction.

"If they used threats or intimidation or molested or obstructed, either to get a labourer to join with them or to get an employer to make concessions, they were guilty of a misdemeanour punishable with three months' imprisonment."

I would bloody well hope so to. Are you really trying to tell me that intimidation is right or justified? Are you saying that it is perfectly alright to molest people in order to force them to your will? Or obstruct them as they go about their peaceful daily lives? Is it alright to force someone to join an organisation against his or her will? Funny old freedom you seem to fighting for Carroll. That reads like a Bully-Boy's or a Thugs Charter.

As for Burns Carroll I apparently know a great deal more about him than you do - tell me again what land did he have seized?
