Union Station Massacre 75th Anniversary
The 75th anniversary of the KC Union Station massacre is tomorrow. This event changed the way the public viewed mob violence and law enforcement, and made a huge impact on how the FBI was managed as well.
Article is here:

Also, for the comic book lovers out there, Ande Parks created a graphic novel about this event a few years back. Parks is better known as Phil Hester's inker on Green Arrow, Ant-Man and most recently Superman Confidential. I review this OGN several months ago if anyone wants to check it out here:
