Murdering six civilians in the streets was blown out of proportion? What number of people do you believe it is acceptable to murder in the streets? I’d like a citation on surrounded by a mob of several hundred, if you have it. EDIT: I found it but I also found that this happened before all of that:
On February 22, a mob of patriots attacked a known loyalist’s store. Customs officer Ebenezer Richardson lived near the store and tried to break up the rock-pelting crowd by firing his gun through the window of his home. His gunfire struck and killed an 11-year-old boy named Christopher Seider and further enraged the patriots.
Boston held 2,000 British soldiers and 16,000 colonists, btw.
