Big fan of the historical accuracy and people learning that the Irish weren't treated like people in the early 1900s. You're providing a great education.
You're thinking way too modern. Old school racial police violence was always started by something even stupider, like a streetside disagreement over a vegetable stand's price on cucumbers. Then due to judicial mismanagement it would somehow turn into a weeks-long, city-wide race war within 6 hours.
the irish - on - black violence during that time stemmed mostly from turmoil surrounding the draft. All white men age 20-40 were forced to enter the draft, while black men as well as those whites rich enough to pay for medical leave / a substitution were exempt from the draft. Irish immigrants that were already being treated as second class citizens found this to be even more unfair, so they held draft riots that burned down draft offices, targeted wealthy whites, and even black bystanders. Obviously not justifying the behavior, just giving some background www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/immigration/irish/racial-tensions/
This is why people of color had tourist guide books about every town in America and whether it was safe to travel there and what restaurants you could safely go to.
That was the standard boxing stance for a long time. Back in the day, bare knuckle boxing was the norm, so punching someone in the torso was less likely to break your fingers than punching them in the skull. The "let me at 'em" stance was designed to protect your midsection and your face simultaneously. Nowadays, padded boxing gloves allow boxers to punch someone in the head without fear of hurting their hands, so "both hands in front of the face" became the new stance because protecting the face and head became much more important.
@@NathanPatrickLane similarly, the old shooting stance was that old timely stand sideways head raise type of thing because people generally were coming off of rapier dueling and thus still maintained the defence principles of minimising one's sillouette to protect their vital organs. The modern stance of gun in front in semi squat was created for better aim, though it's more of a target shooting stance and is actually being brought back into question because of it's defensive flaws.
To add onto this, modern boxing gloves are ENORMOUS and are therefore very difficult to slip through a guard. Try a boxer's guard in a bare fisted fight and it won't stop a single hit. Instead, you keep the hands away from the body to give more time to react and either deflect or guard against each individual attack. Also, if your boxer's guard does successfully stop a hit then your own hand will be smacked into your face by the impact (you don't notice this while boxing due to the padding on your own gloves protecting your face).
I’m from Louisiana. In the area we live in, my grandparents said that when their parents were young the Irish were the cops going after the small Italian gangs in the area. The Irish hated all Italians in the region. My dad’s side is like 85% Irish and my Mom is 96% Sicilian.

@@alcarbo8613nah, you're thinking late 30s and 40s. In the twenties only a few places were okay with Irish cops, the Irish usually couldn't apply.

Practically 1940s, (Miller's In The Mood recorded in late 1939) that's what I've been saying nonetheless.

@donmeromerohernandez8862 first songs that come to mind would be: Ben Bernie & His Hotel Astor Orchestra - Sweet Georgia Brown (1925); Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra - That Certain Feeling (1925); Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra - Variety Stomp (1927), Joe Venuti & His New Yorkers - Doing Things (1928), and Miff Mole & His Little Molers - After You've Gone (1929).

Fun fact, pinball was banned for over thirty years in NYC because the city's government had a strict rule on games of chance. Even though arguments were made by manufacturers that pinball is more of a game of skill and purely for entertainment, the city banned them anyway in the early '40s and they would stay outlawed until 1973.
"Yeah I got a heart murmur, my peepers are no good, I got a crooked spine, and I got syphallis. And still they let me be a cop." Man they had really high standards for being a cop back then. Expectations and standards for cops these days is way lower
Hes not exaggerating. Pinball machines legit used to be HUGELY controversial, and seen as a gambling problem. It took a famous pinball player showing off how its based in skill to congress to get it legalized
It took adding paddles after WWII for it to actually be a game of skill and didn't recover from it's prohibiton and stigma until the 1970s. Back then they used to reward a little metal ball you could collect on a string, and those could be turned in for some goods at the store. Later the metal ball was replaced with a crappy plastic ball.

Well the pinball machines evolved to have flippers so that it was skill based instead of 100% chance. Japan still has the old style pinball aka Pachinko and they had people so cracked out on those that mothers let their kids starve to death ...back in the 90s.

as an Irish guy from the 1920s who is dead in a coffin I can confirm that I got in many fights with em rotten winos and disorderly characters
Please do the "Cops In the 2020's", i wonder how these chaps changed over the century.
Fun fact back when cops were fairly new I believe near 1890 and early 1900 cops where mainly Irish men because nobody wanted to do the job
the "bum leg" line was straight out of abbott and costello
“And I got a bum leg” had me cracking up
This guy is seriously talented

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPER!

The war on Pinball went about as well as the war on bikes, the war on skateboards, and the war on drugs.
Well the pinball machines evolved to have flippers so that it was skill based instead of 100% chance. Japan still has the old style pinball aka Pachinko and they had people so cracked out on those that mothers let their kids starve to death ...back in the 90s. Now they just stopped birthing kids...more time for Pachinko I guess.
Most people don't get the pinball reference. It was illegal in NYC for almost 40 years between 1940 and 76. Chicago had a similar ban.
For those of y'all that don't know, 20k in the 1920 is the equivalent of 300k in 2024
This is the same Era which banned alcohol in the US 💀 boy the 20s was so wild
Someone call the coppers! An Italian is outside my apartment walking his dog!
Thanks to current events we can say NYPD hasn't changed one bit.
You sir are comedic gold. Bravo
He's spot-on with the pinball machine reference. It was considered gambling for awhile because... Well, congress.
Actually he's off about the pinball by a decade.
WHO TOOK MY WHISKEY?!?!????!!!???
Bro should legit be a voice actor.
"hes driving away in a motorcar and i got a bum leg" that delivery killed me
Ah yes, those 1920's pinball machines.
I half expected it to be "We hired a lady cop! He deals with all the lady criminals!"
You gotta make this one a series your too perfect for it 😂
