4. Nothing new about it

The perpetrators of the first Columbine Massacre were not disenfranchised outcasts, lunatics or outlaws of any description – but rather state rangers and national guardsmen, under the orders of the governor of Colorado, who attacked 500 unarmed striking coal miners and their families with tear gas, automatic rifles and machine guns. The Columbine miners had been striking peaceably for five weeks; the owner of the mining company had even served the picketers coffee and doughnuts on some mornings. But with winter fast approaching, the governor of Colorado feared a state-wide coal shortage and resolved to quash the strike. He ordered his rangers to dress in civilian clothing so as not to alert the strikers, and positioned them on the Columbine mine tipple. In the ensuing bloodbath, six working men were killed and dozens more injured, but – despite scores of impartial witnesses – the authorities denied the use of machine guns, the press covered up all evidence to the contrary and, with typical authoritarian shamelessness, the strike leaders were arrested and charged with the responsibility for the deaths.
