Shots fired in Boston riot
Scores Killed, Hundreds Injured as Para-Military
Extremists Riot in Boston Area
National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a paramilitary 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.

"There can be only one permanent revolution - a moral one: The regeneration of the inner man."
—Tolstoy
"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."
Patriotic Rhode Islanders are very proud of this.
,,and have an annual celebration to remember the event.

It was after midnight on June 10, 1772. There was no moonlight and dark cloaked the Narragansett Bay, where the Gaspee, an English Navy schooner, had run aground on Namquid Point. In a boat a few yards away from the Gaspee, by dim starlight Joseph Bucklin could see the vessel's commander on the starboard gunwale, swinging his sword and preventing the American attackers from boarding the Gaspee.
"Ephe," Bucklin said to his friend Ephraim Bowen, "reach me your gun, and I can kill that fellow."
Bucklin fired. The English ship commander, Lt. Dudingston, fell, with a terrible wound in his groin. The colonists boarded the schooner, and took its crew prisoner. { click URL for full story }
