It speaks upon how the people of the colonies (Untied States) where getting feed up with the mother country (England) from paying high taxes and being harassed by the military officers in the streets and their homes. Sam Adams wrote Journal of Occurrences which was also written by other Boston writters, who spoke about how the Britan military officers were constantly out of order. Thomas Paine also a writter wrote words of encouragement to the people who live in the colonies. Paine also gave encouraging words to Genreal Geroge Washington troops as they were crossing the icy Delware Rivers to fight the Red Coats, it was believe that Genreal Geroge Washington ask him to give his troops words of courage to continue to fight the American Revolution. The American Revolution reminds me of Occupy Wall Street that is going on right now and around the country and world. Where people are basically tired of the cooperate ruling the goverment and having control of everything and everyone, so now protestes are speaking out about what is going on with the greed of cooperate wanting the power of operating world wide.
The Bloody Massacre that happen in Boston of 1770 reminds of the protester who were left with cuts and brusies on them once the police aggrastively arrest the protesters by demostrating their frustration with the disguse greed of the cooperates wanting more money, yet not showing any real proof of how its sincerly helping out the 99% working class who struggles to find jobs or having to pay high taxes.
I think it's absolutely crazy how the police are reacting to this movement. They are part of the 99% and should be on our side!! Violence is not the answer!!!
ReplyDeleteThe people of this country are finally taking steps toward another revolution, since that seems to be the only option left and the only way to have our voices heard. The way police are treating protesters is absolutely disturbing and thanks to advances in communication, it is finally being shown in real-time and I think it will help in the long run.
ReplyDeleteAuthority officials have most definitely crossed the line in their actions and i believe there are plenty of better approaches in accordance with handling civilians.
ReplyDeleteToo bad "Occupy" sold out.
