  Well, maybe instead of sarcastic remarks you will be the one to point me to some historical accounts?

      Ah, now it makes more sense: he wasn’t laying siege to workers, but rather to his own factory the workers were illegally occupying, and refusing to let in him or other workers, and after they kicked out the Sheriff, who was initially called to lawfully remove them. Finally, the occupation was dispersed by state militia. Yeah, now it all falls into place, except it’s still unclear to me which part exactly makes Carnegie a “shit person” here.

        Oof. I don't think anyone in the world is interested in re-litigating 100 year old labor politics with you.
