On This Day: Attica Prison Uprising Begins On Sept. 9, 1971
#2
Magda - an important thread.

Quote:On the morning of Sept. 13, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller met with his advisors and approved a military attack on the prison, calling it “a matter of principle.” One thousand National Guardsmen stormed the jail and started firing indiscriminately at the unarmed inmates and their hostages, killing 29 inmates and 10 hostages.

Ah yes. The Rockefellers and their principles.... :listen:
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."

"They are in Love. Fuck the War."
