what are you trying to say? some did want them cause they protected the trading ships and defended them against the French and the Natives. But they did tax them and force other stuff on them.

Absolutely.  It it wasn't for the legal system we would have lynch mobs.  The public is still swayed by public opinion, true or not.  Look at what happened to that Benet-John Karr guy.  Everyone wanted to castrate him and draw and quarter him.  As much as I believe in modern society, most people are still sheep.

John Hancock was one of the leading men that spurred on the American Revolution. I looked at a couple of links, but the one below is short and concise and speaks directly with details regarding most of his patriotic activities (if you can get a copy of his speech after the Boston Massacre - that is what really brought him to the attention of the public at-large).

No -- it refers to a person going crazy and randomly shooting people. It refers specifically to that incident with Mr. Whitman (who was found to have a brain tumor by the way).\n\nIf someone says "I wanted to make sure you're not gonna start firing shots from the clocktower" they are specifically alluding to that event in history.

I believe that it happened but not exactly like its told in the bible...you should watch the documentary called the Exodus Decoded. It's really well put together and it makes you realize alot of things.

Place: On the Charlestown Peninsula on the North side of Boston Harbour.\n\nCombatants: British troops of the Boston garrison against troops of the American Continental Army.\n\nGenerals: Major General Howe against General Artemas Ward and General Israel Putnam\n\nSize of the armies: 2,400 British troops against 1,500 Americans.\n\nUniforms, arms and equipment: The British grenadiers, light infantry and battalion company men wore red coats, the headgear of the companies, bearskin fronted mitre caps, tricorne hats and caps, and were armed with muskets and bayonets. The British had light guns and were supported by the heavy guns of the fleet. The Americans were armed with muskets or whatever firearms they could obtain, a few bayonets and some light guns.\n\nWinner: While the British drove the Americans from the Charlestown peninsula it was with heavy loss. The battle was at the time considered to be an American defeat but has since been lifted to the ranks of a heroic stands against forces of oppression.\nBritish Regiments: \nThe flank companies (grenadiers and light companies) of the 4th, 10th, 18th, 22nd, 23rd, 35th, 59th, 63rd and 65th.\n\n5th Foot later Northumberland Fusiliers and now the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers\n38th Foot later the South Staffordshire Regiment and now the Staffordshire Regiment\n43rd Foot later 1st Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and now 1st Bn Royal Green Jackets.\n47th Foot later the North Lancashire Regiment and now the Queen’s Royal Lancashire Regiment\n52nd Foot later 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and now 1st Bn Royal Green Jackets\nMarines: now the Royal Marines\n\nAccount: \nWith the outbreak of the war General Gage, the British commander in chief, found himself blockaded in Boston by the American Continental Army, occupying the hills to the West of the city. Gage resolved to seize the Charlestown peninsula across the harbour. Before he could act, on the night of 16th June 1775 around 1,500 American troops of the Massachusetts regiments and Putnam’s Connecticut regiment occupied Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill on the peninsula. The American troops began to build a redoubt on Breed’s Hill. The fortification was complete by the morning, after a night of frenzied work. The presence of the Americans on the peninsula was observed by His Majesty’s Ship Lively which opened fire on them.\n\nPlans were hurriedly put in motion by the British to attack the Americans and drive them from their position. Major General Howe, one of the three generals sent from Britain to assist General Gage, was given the command. While the preparations were in train the Americans extended their fortifications from the redoubt to the sea shore, to prevent a flank attack. More American troops gathered on Bunker Hill but few of them could be persuaded to move to the forward positions on Breed’s Hill.\n\nI know i got here to late but i have an excuse. Iam from the UK. lol.\nWell done to Parrotjohn2001

Civilian casualties are a fact of war yes, but there is recorded video footage of American and, I am truly ashamed to say, British soilders and officers killing civilians in cold blood.  There have been many photos and videos leaked to the press and shown on the internet of soilders harassing and even torturing innocent civilians before, in some of the worst cases, killing them.\n\nThis is obviously against the code of war and the Geneva Convention and so yes, those found to be responsible for these actions must be charged accordingly, and even more so as they are representative of their respective countries.

people like that definitely exist.\n"White Flight" is very prevalent in Mass as well. As soon as white families saw a few negros moving into their town, they all ran for the hills.\n\nPeople like that will ask you stupid questions like "do you get shot at like everyday?"\n\n"Are you part of a gang?"\n\nand other annoying racist shit

It probably depends on a lot of things...company policy, the size of the town, the specifics of the death...\n\nAn ambulance took my grandfather away when he died, so it does happen.

I live here in Philadelphia, Mississippi where that happened. \nYou might try our local newspaper. They have a continuing series about all the events of that incident. Feel free to e-mail me @ yahoo if you have any more questions.I was a small child but I remember some things.\nHope this helps. Blessings...

There has not been any "scandal" in either Iraq and/or Afghanistan that rises the the level of My Lai massacre (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre ).  This is not to say that some awful things haven't happened - but its like comparing Alaska to the smallest county in Rhode Island in size.

It happened in Cincinnati.\n\nT.I. is okay, but one person who was traveling with him died and three others were injured.  They got shot at while driving up I-75 (the main interstate in town) by some thugs who followed them from a nightclub in the city.

It depends on the state it happened in.

Not always.  But this was pretty clearly a stupid accident.  Maybe the guy wasn't all there (he is an attorney).  I can just picture these people hunting anyway.  They're lucky to live.
