Welcome to cool people who did cool stuff. I'm your host, Marker Kiljoy, and each week I take

you way back into history to find people who were cool, who did stuff. That was cool, because they

were cool, so they did cool stuff. This is part two of a two-part series about Haymarket, the

bomb that brings us the modern labor movement. So if you haven't already, you might want to do yourself

a favor and go back and listen to part one. But I'm not the boss of you.

Do whatever you want.

And my guest this week is none other than Robert Evans.

Robert, what's the best way to describe you here?

I am the boss of you.

And if you listen to this one before listening to the first one, I will wreak a terrible vengeance upon your soul.

And that's who I am. That's all I am. Is a force, a force for revenge of content.

It's unclear what I am, Margaret. But I'm here to talk with you about this story. And other people

who were forces for revenge in their own right. That's right. That's right.

And the fact that revenge can sometimes lead to people being harmed that you didn't intend to harm because

once the consequences of actions can be unpredictable. Exactly. And we also have our producer,

Sophie, do you want to say hi yeah robert ho sophie robert sophie margaret hi hi okay so we're going to get back to it where we last left our heroes

200 folks were at an anarchist rally in Chicago.

Cops had shown up.

Someone had thrown a bomb.

And I was pretty proud of that cliffhanger.

Yeah.

Great first week cliffhanger.
