I’d encourage you to watch Harlan County, USA (1976), a documentary that cover the events.

Does the Boyle family have any affiliation with Boyle construction? I don’t think so but would be crazy

I found the post interesting and it inspired me to google the incident myself.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or are you always a miserable grouchy fuck?

No, but there is no reason for such lazy posting. If OP thought it was interesting hey could have taken the time to find a link to the story. That's obviously the point to a calendar like this.

Lazy posting? That's a pretty pretentious take.

I'd much rather see someone post a photo they took themselves than just link to a bland and boring article.

Wow I don't think I'd ever heard about this before.

Thanks for sharing, OP!

If I didn’t read the date first, I would have assumed it happened like 100 years ago.

Yesterday was my birthday, do you remember what that was? Just curious if it was anything interesting

if it took such little time to find a link to the story, shouldnt it annoy you less?

this type of abridged factoid shit is exactly the type of post that i subscribe to this subreddit for, and we have a mod, of all people chastising OP for providing such awesome content.

there are a thousand random photos posted to this sub a year, many much less pennsylvania specific... and this is the one you choose to demand more effort on?

I was a kid but remember it, was on KDKA radio news for months.

That was quite the scandal in the day. I was about 6 but still remember hearing it almost every day.

I grew up on Milfred Terrace and I remember the FBI using a house by Ten Mile Creek as their command center. I went to school with Jock's grandsons; their father discovered the bodies.

Wow I knew this happened all the time but had no idea it was that recent I thought that stuff ended in the fifty’s or sixty’s I would like to know more about all the murder the coal company did to cover stuff up and keeping people quiet

Mea Culpa, I was wrong. I obviously needed more coffee this morning. Sorry, OP.

A bad event, with a relatively good outcome. If you can call trading three lives for bringing down the corrupt Union.

I used to ride past the house this happened at on my bike when I was younger. We’d dare each other to go up to the house. Looking back it’s just tragic.

I recommend the book: "Blood Runs Coal" by Mark Bradley. Great retelling of the Yablonski murders.

I was three years old then, but it must have still been big news a couple years later because I can remember serious voices talking about it on the kitchen radio.
