The Evil Dead
Directed by Sam Raimi (1981)

On this day, 1 June 1926, a police patrol in Wyndham, Australia headed out searching for an aboriginal man who killed a white man who had assaulted and whipped him. They returned on 19 June, but in the meantime the Forrest River massacre took place, when the officers murdered and burned anywhere between 11 and 300 indigenous people. A Royal Commission confirmed the massacre took place but no officers were convicted of any offences.

On this day, 7 December 1896, Japanese translator, feminist, socialist and lesbian Yuasa Yoshiko (湯浅芳子) was born in Kyoto. She was an early supporter of the women’s rights movement in the country, and became involved in the left-wing, Tyrian literature movement. With the leading female proletarian author Chūjō Yuriko she travelled to the Soviet Union for three years, studying Russian language and literature, and developed a friendship with film director Sergei Eisenstein. She translated a significant number of Russian works into Japanese. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1285386821646465/?type=3

1944 - Snowball the cat tries to take over a machine gun in Normandy so she can shoot some Nazis herself. Good luck to you, Snowball! [video]
I prefer the version that the cat tries to stop him from shouting another human being.
Well, luckily that version isn’t true, and the Nazis were defeated by shooting lots of them. Good job, Snowball!
Trench warfare, a Madsen MG, and the late revision kettle helmet point to the actually time frame of this being mid to late World War 1, British Soldiers, on the western front of the war. Probably engaged in a stalemate with German forces at Verdun, The Battle of the Somme ,or The Third Ypres Campaign.
A good attempt at sounding smart, dear porn blog, but I think you didn’t notice there’s a video link attached showing when and where it is.

On this day, 28 September 1846, troops from the 1st Royal Dragoons opened fire on starving food rioters in Dungarvan, Ireland. A contemporary report described how “The distress” was “truly appalling in the streets; for, without entering the houses, the miserable spectacle of haggard looks, crouching attitudes, sunken eyes and colourless lips and cheeks, unmistakably bespeaks the sufferings of the people.” Meanwhile, an abundance of food was being exported for profit. On 28 September, several thousand people attempted to break into the quay-side grain stores. When the ringleaders were arrested, a section of the crowd demanded release of the prisoners and then marched to the centre of town, where they looted several bakeries. The British 1st Royal Dragoons were deployed to the scene and the riot act was read. When the crowd refused to disperse, Captain Sibthorp gave orders to fire. Two rioters were seriously wounded, and one of them, Michael Fleming, subsequently died of his injuries. In the coming days, four companies from the Lancashire Regiment were sent to enforce order in Dungarvan, but despite their presence, on 1 October dock workers refused to load grain for export as they feared reprisals. The Great Famine lasted until the 1850s. It killed around a million people and forced an even greater number to emigrate. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1221297311388750/?type=3
