167. Vintage Case: LA Times Bombing
Before midnight on October 1, 1910, a serial bomber crept through the dark streets of Los Angeles placing three bombs at strategic locations for the purpose of destroying and disrupting the anti-union stances of the journalism giant, the LA Times. We cover the social and cultural history of the time, as well as the crime and trial of those responsible for this early act of terrorism.
