Joe Hill was a folk singer, on par with Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, and an IWW organizer. He was framed for murder, a murder proven to be committed by another man. And executed by Judicial Lynching firing squad in Salt Lake City in 1915. Many Right Wingers say we shouldn't focus on such things, if somebody is convicted, so they say, there's no longer any chance of his innocence. (m)Ann Coulter and local Wicked Bitch of the West Michelle Malkintent object to people bringing up all the times Justice was thwarted by a hangmans rope, an electric chair, firing squad, gas chamber or needle. They say they're tired of hearing about Joe Hill and about Saccho and Vanzetti. Therefore everybody else is tired of hearing about it. Screw them. Not literally of course. They want people to forget so they'll have an easier time in the next round of Court Sanctioned Murders. I think they just like the thought of other people dying. There's a song that goes with it, Pete and Woody and Joan Baez and just every folk singer in existence has recorded it, lyrics are: 26712
