It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

It did happen- when Boston had a population of 15,000. That is the equivalent of 3,000 with a population of 625,000. Imagine 3,000 dead in Boston today. |

Imagine 3,000 dead in Boston today. 3000 died in NYC fairly recently, so it doesn't seem that hard to imagine. edit: what year was that, Paul? i have to go to work in a few mins, or i would look it up myself. |

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.
From the linked article in the OP.
Did you really not recognize this story? What with it being the 4th of July weekend and all...

... Did you really not recognize this story? ... It also helps to add in the "Paul" factor of very loose with accurate details to create maximum spin velocity.  |
