LadyJean-

The DA's just following a long-standing American tradition of shooting down unionized workers or those trying to organize- not only Homestread but Ludlow, Blair Mountain, Leadville, Carbondale and a host of other places too numerous to mention.

Perhaps the Wisc. Governor can hire a private army of Pinkerton thugs (Pinkerton is still in busines, I believe) like Frick and Carnegie did to shoot the public workers down & get this over with.

Kind of like a living history re-enactment.
