November 26, 1933
Vigilantes in California lynch two suspected murderers.

A mob of people in San Jose, California, storm the jail where Thomas Thurmond and John Holmes are being held as suspects in the kidnapping and murder of Brooke Hart, the 22-year-old son of a local storeowner. The mob of angry citizens proceeded to lynch the accused men and then pose them for pictures.

On November 9, Brooke Hart was abducted by men in his own Studebaker. His family received a $40,000 ransom demand and, soon after, Hart’s wallet was found on a tanker ship in a nearby bay. The investigative trail led to Holmes and Thurmond, who implicated each other in separate confessions. Both acknowledged, though, that Hart had been pistol-whipped and then thrown off the San Mateo Bridge.

After Hart’s body washed ashore on November 25, a vigilante mob began to form. Newspapers reported the possibility of a lynching and local radio stations broadcast the plan. Not only did Governor James Rolph reject the National Guard’s offer to send assistance, he reportedly said he would pardon those involved in the lynching.

On November 26, the angry mob converged at the jail and beat the guards, using a battering ram to break into the cells. Thurmond and Holmes were dragged out and hanged from large trees in a nearby park.

The public seemed to welcome the gruesome act of vigilante violence. After the incident, pieces of the lynching ropes were sold to the public. Though the San Jose News declined to publish pictures of the lynching, it condoned the act in an editorial. Seventeen-year-old Anthony Cataldi bragged that he had been the leader of the mob but he was not held accountable for his participation. At Stanford University, a professor asked his students to stand and applaud the lynching. Perhaps most disturbing, Governor Rolph publicly praised the mob. “The best lesson ever given the country,” said Governor Rolph. “I would like to parole all kidnappers in San Quentin to the fine, patriotic citizens of San Jose.”

MEDICAL AND FIRST AID

Medical preparedness is one of the most overlooked parts of prepping. People focus on food and water, but forget that during a crisis hospitals can be overwhelmed, pharmacies can close, and emergency response times can jump from minutes to hours. When something goes wrong, you become the first responder for your family. That is why a real medical setup is essential.

The Difference Between First Aid And Trauma Care
First aid is for everyday injuries. Cuts, burns, fevers, stomach issues, headaches, infections. Trauma care is for serious life threatening injuries like deep bleeding, broken bones, or major wounds. You need supplies for both. Most families only have a small box of bandages. That is not enough in a real emergency.

What You Should Stock
Start with a solid first aid kit. Include bandages, gauze, medical tape, alcohol wipes, antiseptic cream, burn gel, tweezers, scissors, pain relievers, fever reducers, stomach medicine, allergy medicine, and disinfectants. Then build a trauma kit. You need a tourniquet, chest seals, compressed gauze, pressure bandages, emergency blankets, and nitrile gloves. These items can save a life before help arrives.

Why Infections Become Dangerous During Emergencies
In normal life, a small cut is nothing. During a crisis, a small cut can turn into a major infection if it is not cleaned and treated. Without running water, proper cleaning becomes harder. Without quick access to a doctor, infections can spread. This is why antiseptics, gloves, and clean bandages matter so much. They prevent a simple injury from turning into something life threatening.

Setting Up A Medical Shelf
Every home should have a dedicated medical shelf or cabinet. Keep everything organized and easy to reach. Store trauma supplies together. Keep children’s medicine in a separate area. Make sure everyone in the house knows where the medical supplies are and how to use the basics. In an emergency you will not have time to dig through random drawers.

Learning Basic Skills
You do not need to be a doctor, but you need to know the basics. Learn how to stop bleeding. Learn how to clean a wound. Learn how to treat burns. Learn how to recognize dehydration. Watch a few instructional videos. Read the guides. Practice using a tourniquet on a dummy object so you know how it feels. A little knowledge can save a life.

Where People Make Mistakes
Some people buy medical supplies but never learn how to use them. Others rely only on small first aid kits that are not designed for real emergencies. Some people forget to stock children’s medicine, which becomes a huge problem at night when pharmacies are closed. The biggest mistake is assuming that ambulances will always arrive quickly. During a crisis, they often do not.

Medical preparedness is about removing fear. When you know you can handle injuries, you feel more confident in every situation. A good medical setup, combined with food and water storage, forms a strong foundation for everything else you will learn in this course.
