These clips are not just of the Great Depression, but time frames surrounding that period. Do you have any doubts that the Communists and Progressives have been with us for 100 years or better? Well, they have been under many guises. Many times it is in the form of unions and organizers who claim they want to help the worker, when in reality, the ultimate goal is bringing ‘change’ to our form of government. When you were growing up, did you ever hear of these riots and this violence that eventually led up to WWII and afterwards? I didn’t. This is a first for me.
From a comment on the thread:
"Those workers who were rioting were damn serious!
60,000 showed up for some of the riots at that time!
Governors of multiple states had to call out their National Guard.
The Guard showed up with their side arms, machine guns, and gattling guns, ready to use them as needed.
The workers made alot of use of homemade bombs and molotov cocktails.
The police used shot guns and alot of tear gas and “naseous” gas (that made you feel sick to your stomach).
Someone was reported dead and several were wounded at every riot that was covered in that footage.
Policemen were killed or injured.
Rioters overturned cars, attacked cab drivers and their passengers, and smashed all of the windows out of businesses.
There were alot of clubs, bats, and billy clubs used left and righ by law enforcement personnel and rioters alike.
I guess this is what we have to look forward to – a whole lot of death, injury, and destruction of personal property."
Two quotes are worth repeating from that video clip:

Douglas MacArthur could show the NYPD a thing or two about breaking up an encampment of protesters. I also know of an instance where workers were beginning to riot in a small Tennessee town and the Chief of Police uncorked a .30 Cal machine gun and it took only a burst to stop the whole thing.

You just made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

"Knockout King" is just the warmup act.
It's going to be a little different result when their intended victims are prepared, though.

Watch this a listen closely to the commentary.
Most of the rioting was NOT people out of jobs, it was UNION violence by people that HAD jobs.
Think about that.

Their ‘job’ was to intimidate the public into making America socialist, let’s not let it happen again.
