    It’s hard to get worked up about an unjust conviction of someone who actually was the killer.

      But these were two guys fighting against the robber barons and the rise of capitalism as we know it today. Yeah, a couple other working class people died as a result, but it’s hard to see it as cut and dry as all that. How many people have died of capitalism. The body counts are way, way out of balance.
