May 8, 1970, construction workers in NYC attacked antiwar protesters and journalists, beating them savagely with tools and pipes. 70 were injured.
This was 4 days after the #OhioNationalGuard shot 13 students & bystanders, killing 4, at #KentStateUniversity
The “#HardHatRiot” was instigated by #ChuckColson, President #RichardNixon’s dirty tricks manager (aka “ratfucker”) , who called his contacts at the #NYConstructionWorkersCouncil led by #PeterJBrennan.
