I don't much care for people who "joke" about murdering their political opponents.

If you have a #communism or #socialism tag on your profile, that probably includes you.

Today in Labor History June 4, 1913: Emily Davison was trampled by the King of England’s horse, Anmer, during a women’s rights protest at the Epsom Derby. She died a few days later. While in the hospital, she received hate mail. The queen described Davison as a "horrid woman."

Davison was an English suffragette, feminist, and socialist, who fought for women’s right to vote in Britain. She was a militant member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), which had been formed in 1903 by Emmeline Pankhurst, mother of Sylvia Pankhurst, a labor activist and Council Communist (anti-authoritarian leftwing communist). Davison was arrested nine times, spent months in prison, went on 7 hunger strikes, and was force-fed forty-nine times. Over time, she learned to barricade herself in her prison cell to delay or prevent the torturous forced-feedings. She was arrested in 1909 for trying to throw a stone at a Cabinet Minister. In 1910, she participated in the vandalism of the Crown Office in Parliament. In 1911, she developed a newer tactic: setting fire to postboxes, including one right outside Parliament. In 1912, she threw herself over a prison balcony, a distance of 30-40 feet to the ground, in an attempt to stop the barbarous force feeding of her comrades who were hunger-striking. She cracked two vertebrae and severely injured her head, but was force-fed nonetheless.
