So you don't like the Blackleg Miner.

I have to wonder if you've ever lived or worked in a community that was dependant on one industry?   The thing is that in such communities everyone has to rely on each other and when an individual breaks the unity of that community they will not recieve approbation.
Communities by their nature will attempt to protect themselves.

The song itself is a threat, whether the events recounted ever happend or not I don't know.   It just lets scabs know that they're not welcome in the community.   An oppinion I concur with.
