Now I know that the Boston Massacre was not murder, but an incident that escalated and led to accidental killings. The soldiers did not intend to kill anyone, but the colonists were violently attacking the troops in mobs and they felt unsafe. I disagree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial, because I think that all of the soldiers should have been acquitted and not just some. Two of the soldiers were given life sentences to serve, which I think is unfair judging by the events that took place. They didn't mean to murder anyone. ]]> 2016-10-24 18:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132811212 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132813492 When I first saw heard about teh Boston Masscre, my first though was that the British had ruthlessly murdered the colonists for no reason whatsoever. I though that they used this as a scare tactic. The illustration by Paul Revere only added fuel to my presumption. Now I know that tey fough back in self-defense and that they were trying to defend themselves. I think that the trial was fair and I agree witht the outcome.]]> 2016-10-24 18:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132813492 3009538 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132813764 First I thought that the British soldiers murdered the colonists. Now I know that the British soldiers were only doing it for self defense from the colonists who threw snow balls at them. I disagree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial because they should at least be put to jail even if it's just for a few months for killing colonists.]]> 2016-10-24 18:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132813764 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132816690 First I thought that the colonists were innocent, because there home was being terrorized with. Now I know that the British soldiers were defending themselves form the colonists. Paul Rivere made everyone believe that the colonists were the innocent ones, because in his drawing it seems like the soldiers are firing at random. I disagree with the outcome results of the massacre, because it make the British soldiers seem guilty, but they are the innocent ones.]]> 2016-10-24 18:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132816690 2035941 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132818719 First I thought that the Boston massacre was murder because in the picture shown it portrays the British troops firing randomly at the colonists. Now I know that the colonists had provoked the attack. How ever I don't agree with the outcome of the trail I think that the British should be charged with murder since they didn't have to shoot.]]> 2016-10-24 18:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132818719 3004299 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132819963 At first I thought that the Boston Massacre was just killing for no reason. Now I know the colonists were throwing things at the British Soldiers and the soldiers just fired their guns because they were scared. I agree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial because the soldiers did kill 5 people but they were scared and acted in fear not because they wanted to kill anyone. ]]> 2016-10-24 18:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132819963 2037595 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132823535 First I thought that the Boston Massacre was the british killing the colonists but now i know that it was self defence because the colonists were throwing snow balls at the british. I highly disagree with the Boston Massacre trial because even though they killed some colonists the colonists brought it upon them for throwing things at them.]]> 2016-10-24 18:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132823535 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132824899 I first thought that the British soldiers murdered the colonist. Now I know that the Boston Massacre was an incident caused by the colonist because they were upset. I disagree with the trial because the soldiers were only trying to protect themselves. They didn't intentionally kill colonist. ]]> 2016-10-24 18:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132824899 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132826183 At first i thought that the soldiers had murdered the colonists. now i see that it could have more likely been an act of self defense. ]]> 2016-10-24 18:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132826183 3004006 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132852613 At first I thought that the British murdered the colonists because, the fired their muskets, when the command "Fire" was not given.  Now I know that the Colonists are the on that attacked first and the British just fought back in self-defense. I agree with the outcome of the trial because the soldiers were just shooting for self defense. ]]> 2016-10-24 20:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132852613 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132858813 First I thought that The British soldiers murdered the colonists because they were having a battle with each other. Now I know that the British didn't kill the colonists on purpose because the colonists killed them and also the colonists were throwing things at the British so the British acted in self defense. I agree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial because if someone throws something at the parliament, then they have to act in self defense.  ]]> 2016-10-24 21:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132858813 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132866241 first i thought that the colonists where only mad at the the taxes.now i know that they where not only mad at the colonist because of the taxes but also because of the shipments and the people running the tax law.]]> 2016-10-24 22:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132866241 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132878657 First I thought the had killed the colonist .Now I know that I notice it was all the colonist fault and they had harmed the British troops by throwing ice balls at them . I agree with the outcome of the Boston massacre trial because , the british didn't mean to harm the just wanted to scare the colonist and then the colonist to it to far ]]> 2016-10-25 00:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132878657 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132881557 First I had thought that the British had murdered the colonists. Now I know that the British attacked for self-defense because, the colonists started the fight by entering the British fort and they told insults and they threw snowballs at them. I agree with the outcome of the Boston Massacre trial because the British didn't murder the colonists intentionally they just fired the colonists in self-defense because they were being attacked by the colonists.]]> 2016-10-25 01:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/132881557 3013402 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/133128433 First I thought that the British soldiers were the murderers and the colonists were the victims because the pictures show that the Soldiers were shooting and colonists were dead on the ground (and also because we're all a bunch of band wagons since we're in America and since we are our minds immediately think that the colonists were all innocent and the British are murderers). Now I know that it was just self-defense, because the colonists were throwing rocks, snow, and a bunch of other stuff to them and they obviously had to defend themselves some how, and the only thing they had were muskets. They couldn't stand there and let a town of more than 300 people throwing things at them.]]> 2016-10-25 18:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/ueyeok96oz6m/wish/133128433
