I think it was self defense because the colonist were burning cloths, papers and houses. So i think that they started shooting for self defense and no murder.

It is self defense,clearly it says that the Colonists were attacking the soldiers and made them panic,that why they have shoot the people.They have not been command to shoot the people one of the pictures shows the commander that commands that soldiers to shoot.Which was a big lie.

I firt thought it was complete murder but when we watch and read these profiles and or different people sides we see the truth of the story and now we can understand now this is a self defense act,the colonists threw projectiles at the british and were askibg for a fight.

The soldiers committed murder for the colonists because they were upset  and The Boston Massacre, known as the Incident on King Street by the British, was an incident on March 5, 1770, in which British Army soldiers killed five male civilians and injured six others. ... Eight soldiers, one officer, and four civilians were arrested and charged with murder.

The soldiers acted in self defense. The colonists started the fight by throwing snowballs and other stuff like attacking one soldier very harmfully and then the soldiers reacted the way they did. I agree with the outcome of the case because the colonists started everything and made the soldiers shoot by saying "fire".

# data[].attributes.body
It was self defense because the soldiers only fought back when the colonists started to throw rocks and snowballs at the soldiers.

# data[].attributes.body
It was self defense, now I know that it was self - defense. I agree because the colonists have been planning this just like the evidence showed.

It was self defense because the Colonists were the ones who were attacking the soldiers for no reason. First, I thought it was a murder because the teachers then were very biased, and never taught me the true facts. I agree with the trial because according to Captain Preston, the soldiers were never given the proper order to fire. However, the soldiers were being threatened, and thy couldn't fire warning shots, because muskets could only hold one piece of gunpowder, and it would take too long to reload, before the colonists could go all out.

first I thought the were trying to take colonies home .but when second time I look colonies were hitting them with stick then British people were didn't got oder to hit them but they fight for self defense

I thought it was self defense because the British were being hit with snowballs and sticks.

First I thought that the soldiers fired and murdered the colonists without order from the Captain. Now I know that the soldiers fired because they panicked when they received threats (Snowballs, rocks, etc) from hundreds of colonists. I disagree with the Boston Massacre trial, because the soldiers' fired due to the situation they were in, and their actions are something a normal person would do from instinct.

First I thought that the British soldiers murdered the colonists just for fun.But after watching the video I saw what really happend in the Boston Massacre.The soldiers fired in self-defense.The rebels tried to kill them first.

# data[].attributes.body
I though that it was self-defense because the colonist were hitting the soldiers with snowballs and sticks. After watching the video I found out that the soldiers fired because they were scared. There was a bunch of colonist that were there and they were saying stuff to the soldiers. Some of the soldiers got scared because the colonist were saying stuff to the soldiers. I agree with the outcome because they were doing it in self-defense because the colonist were saying things to the soldiers.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the British started the fight and used the alibi that the colonists were throwing snowballs and rocks but had the advantage of winning the trail because of what they represented and who they were.I soon realized that the colonists actually were antagonizing the British by throwing things at them filling the British with rage and causing them to fight back.I agree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial, because from the evidence presented it is obvious they acted in self defense.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought that the British soldiers were murderers in the Boston Massacre and they brutally killed the 5 colonists. After watching the video, I still think they are murderers and I disagree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial since the soldiers who killed someone should have been punished but luckily John Adams defended them. Murder is serious and they should face some harsh punishment. I wonder how John Adam helped them escape being punished in the trial for 7 soldiers and the rest only got light sentences.

# data[].attributes.body
First I thought the soldiers were using self defense. Now i know that i was right. I agree with the trail because John Adams made sure the soldiers had a fair trial because they were just defending themselves.

First I thought that the Boston Massacre was caused by the British and they just, ruthlessly, killed the colonists. Now I know that, the colonists attacked the soldiers with snowballs, sticks, etc. first. Although they aren't as harmful as guns, they are still viewed as a threat and the soldiers panic and shoot. I disagree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial because they did murder the colonists with large weapons. The colonists only threatened them with sticks and snowballs (snowballs can't really kill someone), which is less violent than guns and bayonets.
