National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

    Duly noted: you have just established the perfect alibi.

    You willing to take the 'heat' for George III? ;-)

    Like I'm willing to take the 'hit' for Nat Turner....

    I suppose that revolution is just a pipe dream, since 2 out of 3 young people can't even spell it. Or find Washington D.C. on a map

    Be kind of embarrassing to call for the storming of Washington...and everybody shows up in Seattle!

    Since people do not learn from history, it has to repeat itself. We will see this kind of headline again in the future. Count on it.

    The other offense that the British did to our colonists was what we now know as the 4th Amendment.

    Washington D.C. has taken the role of King George III, and that makes this a civil revolution, and not a second civil war.

    Not much to smile about here...the endgame is not very positive.
