The Boston Unfortunate Killing
The above title has been changed from 'Boston Massacre' to the 'Boston Unfortunate Killing' because I feel it is more correct. (It also sounds fancier.) Right now, I point my ears in the direction of learning. (Yay! Knowledge!)
Well, do you all remember the Drunken Leader Special? On the very same day the Parliament repealed the Townshend 'Duties' a fist-fight/disagreement/riot/brawl/
argument and or involuntary manslaughter broke out between the Fish'n Chips and the Turkeys. (That would be the British Soldiers and the Colonists, non food savvy people.) Five colonists were killed that day. Let's all have a moment of silence. I'm serious. I know, scary thought.
Well, this was one of the boiling points between our rabbit-eating patriots and the lobsterbacks. In 1768 the government had sent four regiments to keep order in Boston. The red-coats were forbidden to fire on colonists, which in turn, caused general trouble in their direction. The method didn't work, and well, you know the ending. Soldiers shoot, five men die, Sam Adams stirs up a fight, our sponsored hero the Patriot John Adams defends the lobtserbacks and their squid and everyone gets off pretty easy.
The colonists were not happy... Now! This post brought to you by fishsticks and John Adams.
Adams: I remain very proud on my decision to defend the redcoats, even though I hated them. A lot. But if it wasn't for me, who knows what would have happened? But we must ask ourselves this question: If the lobsterbacks wern't aloud to fire on Colonists, why did they have guns EVERYWHERE they went? Thank you.
Hey, he proves a point. Oh! Fun fact! In the medieval times, you pretty much were what you ate. That's why they called Spaniards peacocks!
