If someone from 100 years ago was given this video and told “here is the future”, that person would figure the worse must have happened; total societal breakdown, lawlessness, disregard for manners or self-control. Oh, wait a tick. That is what’s happened!

The 1909 McKee's Rocks Strike was a lot worse; in a two hour gun battle 13 strikers, scabs, strikebreakers, and police were killed.

People need to get over this silly nostalgia for a past perfect world that never existed.

Or the 1892 Homestead Strike with 10 dead and hundreds injured.
