Boston
#48 | POSTED BY SITZKRIEG
Did you hear what happened in Boston?
An unarmed teenage boy was hit in the head with the butt end of a rifle during a nonviolent verbal exchange with a law enforcement officer.
Word of the incident quickly spread, and within an hour several people gathered in the area to peacefully protest. They shouted slogans, and business owners in the area closed up shop for fear of their property.
The law enforcement officers called for backup, and backup arrived in the form of heavily armed law enforcement personnel. They then declared the the assembly unlawful and ordered the protesters to disperse.
The crowd, in response, grew restless and hurled dirt clods at law enforcement personnel. Law enforcement responded by firing into the crowd.
The first man killed was a black man.
If, while reading this story, you found yourself thinking that law enforcement was in the right, and that the protesters should have dispersed...
Then congratulations, you have fallen on the wrong side of history, siding with the tyrant king George III against American patriots.
The incident occurred in 1770. The black man killed was named Crispus Attucks. The incident became known as the Boston massacre and was one of the key events leading to the American revolution.
