If you are referring to the Boston massacre ...the only founding father involved...John Adams defended the British soldiers at the trial and got them off
And the Brits shot in to an unarmed crowd and killed 3 .. the closest analogy to the Boston Massacre would be the Kent State shootings... an aggressive mob intimidating scenario....
this shooting is clearly not that
This is a cop that shot a guy that had a knife and was coming at another cop....
I always find in these shooting people get upset about the number of round fired... but if you going to shoot your shooting to kill.. it not shoot to wound
Either the first shot was wrong or it was not.. that first shot is the line if was it murder or self defense... at this point I have no opinion... but if the first shot was seft defense.. i has no problem with the other in rapid succession up to and including empting the whole mag because they train them that way... if you have to shoot then you shoot ...there’s no half-assing it...
Now if the cop...stopped shooting then walked up and administer the coup de Gras..that that would be murder
I’m referring to the battles of Lexington and Concord and then every battle after that all the way up to Yorktown.
According to the statists on this forum the British colonists had no right to fire on their own government’s forces.
In Chicago the CPD has managed to do a number of things that our Founding Fathers would have killed them for doing:
1. Holding people without charge, warrant, or bail at Homan Square.
2. Denying the right of free men to keep and bear arms.
3. No end of warrantless searches and seizures.
4. Torturing people under the direction of CPD Commander Jon Burge.
5. Police brutality problems so significant that the United Nations is now investigating the problem...in a Democrat-run city.
etc. etc. etc.
Instead of defending the CPD we need to be demanding that the State of Illinois take over policing in that city and then thoroughly clean out the corruption and abuse in the CPD that has been rife over the past forty years.
Besides, it makes me feel sad to see FReepers even indirectly rushing to defend that walking corpse Rahm Emanuel.
It your equating the Continental Army or the Minutemen to some kid on drugs trying to life a cop you have no freaking clue...
by your logic any time any criminal anywhere shoots a cop he’s committing legitimate revolutionary act.... b*******!!!
and I reset you conflating the two...
I’m direct descendant of people that fought in the American Revolution in Massachusetts in the Continental Army in 1777...
I know my own damn family history and I resent at you comparing my great great grandfather and uncles in the same league with some drug addled thug trying to knife a cop!!!!
maybe the cop that did not need to shoot the kid and it was murder
but you making the kid act some god damn f****** revolutionary act and martyr is total b******* .... let alone try to compare to the American Revolution your ass out of here for that
“EVERYTHING, EVERY EVENT, EVERY INCIDENT is magnified and played up today by the radical left in the media today because it is focused on ONE THING ONLY...and that is winning the next election and enhancing and tightening its power and control over us.”
Your entire comment is excellent analysis. Well said.
The true working class is far too busy working to indulge in BS like that.
Goebbels would love these scum, ya think?
