Imagine you're walking down the streets of New York in the fall of 1922, wearing a nice straw hat. The summer weather is cooling off as the fall weather is coming in. All of a sudden a mob of boys comes towards you, takes your hat off of your head and stomps all over it before running away. This scene (and much more) took place from September 13-15, 1922. Come with us as we bring you the ridiculous and unusual story of the Straw Hat Riot of 1922.
