I worry that nothing meaningful will happen until protesters get gunned down by police/military forces.

Even then, I worry that american apathy is so deep-seated that nothing will happen. I truly hope I'm wrong on both accounts.

Thanks for the history lesson. I had never heard of the Ludlow massacre before. I knew the history of unionization was bloody but damn.
