Not a great comparison.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Massacre#Incident
Eight soldiers were just standing there when around 300 Bostonians surrounded them and started throwing shit at them. We would be lucky if ICE could show the level of restraint the British officers showed.
AND the government admitted it probably wasn't the move to send them.
And a future president was their defense lawyer.
Because we were a nation of laws then … shame about now
We still are. It’s ragged and on the verge of tipping over. But not yet. The way we ultimately lose is by enough people saying exactly what you just said.
