72 killed resisting gun confiscation by National Guard in Boston!

Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.

I first heard this story a decade or so ago and I almost did lose my poop. I hope most of us know the history of the story.

The Pittsburgh protest however is a good video and I’m glad so many good citizens were there.

A few years back I posted this on fakebook, people lost it. Other’s P&Med about fake news. I suggested they read it right to the end. Funny thing is, they never came back to let me know if they did.

The Pittsburgh protest ends with the protesters being chastised by a city employee and all council persons refusing to see them while an polite but, clearly there to intimidate armed police officer looks on.
Pittsburgh will fall like all the other left leaning cities…
they will fall because they voted in a communist hoping that they could control him.
they will fall because hundreds showed up and not thousands
they will fall because instead of demanding their rights not be taken and showing themselves as a force to be reckoned with they were passive.
The Plutocrats are driving wedges between us and then using those wedges to take our rights away.
are you REALLY that much different than your neighbor? Silly as it is the below song is REALLY a good summary of where we are as a nation.

I know about the French Revolution. What I don’t get is why someone would make a joke out of cutting peoples heads off.

He’s not joking, hes pointing out the power we have if we get together.
