Miners working for the Rockefellers went on strike in Colorado. The answer? To call in the National Guard to gun down roughly two dozen people, whether they were miners or family members of them. And so the modern PR Machine was born. The Rockefellers founded the first "Public Relations" department to handle the backlash of the massacre, they also created the Rockefeller Foundation to show the world what swell folks they are.

Seems like none of the people involved in the massacre were ever brought to justice. But one of the Rockefeller's kids were able to smooth things out by attending funerals of the victims, trying to befriend them, and financially compensating them.

It's stories like this that make me understand why people believe in Hell. It sucks to read about old crimes and know the killers got away with it

Glad I'm not the only one that was thinking of that PR.
