I don’t know about a war they started, but it checks out.
I bet this would still be happening today, if less-than-lethal weaponry wasn’t invented.

Basically the defense Adams used, and why most of them were acquitted
Cute little troll you are trying though

Also rocks and balls of ice.
And yeah, this was pretty much why they weren’t thrown in prison

False Equivalence

That’s literally what happened and Adams told this during the trial and convinced the jury.

It’s a good troll. Like saying “The US was founded partly off the backlash to the police killing a black man(Crispus Attucks) and their acquittal.”

You know those guys were acquitted right? By John Adams no less.

As long as you don’t win you’re just a rioter and a terrorist, so put some effort in your protests and do a revolution

The parallels with renee nicole good’s murder and kristi noem’s response is scarily so similar. America is fucked up place now.

Still mad about losing that war huh

Honestly though, a lot of the American Revolution would probably have been looked at a lot differently in history if it failed. I love my country, but just like any violent fight for independence, it was messier than the patriotic education would have us believe

I hate glazing of military violence against protestors so fucking much. If you shoot people trying to gain rights you’re not a good person idrc if you were just following orders

I mean… that’s pretty much exactly how people would be talking about it today if the British had won the war.

People pretend John Adams *didn’t* make exactly this argument in favor of the redcoats because part of what made the American Revolution such an exception was that it wasn’t one based on petty vengeance like later revolutions, but on laws and their framework.
