253 years ago today, 5 men (Crispus Attucks, Sam Gray, James Caldwell, Sam Maverick and Patrick Carr) were killed in Boston on King Street after a confrontation with British soldiers over tensions caused by the Crown’s tax laws. It would be known as the Boston Massacre. https://twitter.com/BFHouse/status/1632352806316175361 This was the moment when real American alpha males stood up and decided to put Britain in its place. To this day, we have retained the capability to wipe the UK off the face of the planet.

Little known fact: the first American murdered by the British was a Black man named Crispus Attucks. If you think the British are racist today, well, back then they were even worse — if you can imagine. Death to Britannia

Shooting kids for throwing snowballs. Truly the precursor to the Boston Police Department.

Wait so 250 years ago, if 5 people got shot it was called a massacre that was revolution worthy?

It's just as well white Americans have always treated black people so much better than the Poms used to. Including your negro-loving police force.

British people had their time in the cultural sun and then some. Now the blowback is finally here, it is cool and good to be awful to British people both online and in person.

We would make Britain an American state but they are of no value. Maybe the French will take pity on the Brits and let them join France.

Icochet posted:It's kinda lame to die over taxes This particular protest was more fired up because they killed a kid a week earlier. Who sometimes takes the "First person to die in the American Revolution" title from Crispus, depending on how historically pedantic people want to be. So, you know, black guy getting killed because he protested police killing a kid is a tale older than this country.

I feel like you'd need at least a dozen victims for the massacre label.

Five dudes get murked a couple hundo years ago and a whole country goes up in arms. A dozen kids today are killed by having their body parts blown apart by high powered weaponry and the country does nothing because it'd rather keep sucking up propaganda and marketing from weapons manufacturers and arms dealers so it can make firearm producing corporations some more money. If Republicans actually followed their principles, they would have personally blown apart the offices of these companies, but it turns out they're just massive pussies.
