So Madol took those morons and established what he called his security echelon.
These were his street fighters.
They were supposed to be his stormtroopers.
Madol and the security echelon would spend the next few decades
harassing people on the streets of New York City while dressed as stormtroopers.
Madol himself, he gave speeches, but he always wore a fucking crash helmet because he got his ass kicked so much.
Now, besides the psychic damage they caused, they were relatively harmless in the physical realm.
That changed, however, in 1963 during an incident that is alternately called, and I'm being totally serious here, it was called the White Castle Plot or the Siege on White Castle.
I've done that before.
I've done some trench warfare inside of a White Castle, you know?
No, the White Castle plot is, I'm really high, but I want some White Castle.
How are we going to get there?
Yeah.
Well, in July of 1963, the Congress of Racial Equality, a.k.a.
CORE, they were demonstrating against White Castle restaurants in the Bronx over racially discriminatory hiring practices.
Well, therein lies the problem.
Different time, my friend.
It's also 1963.
You know, the racial makeup of New York City changed incredibly fast throughout like the 50s, 60s and 70s.
So we're, I believe in 1963.
