Good point about the French massacre of '61. However, I don't think many Americans will sympathize.
Seider's murder in 1770 at the hands of a British agent in Boston who fired into a crowd galvanized a revolution. A child was shot and killed, and that escalated into the Boston Massacre a few weeks later when British soldiers fired on civilians.
Americans forget the history of why we have a right to protest the government. Or Americans want to minimize "protest" to mean signing a paper petition to a politician, who ignores the paper. That 1st Amendment meant much more to the Founders.
Excellent piece, which I have quoted from here (at end): https://rickygoldstein.substack.com/p/two-cheers-for-social-media
Both sides lie. Continuously. If you ain't framing, you ain't trying.
