"BOSTON, 4/19 - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th 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.

Speaking after the clash Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage also blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.


All of this transpired on April the 19th and 20th, in the year 1775.
You can tell it takes about the entire article to tell that it is just a recount of what happened.
Hopefully you'll see now that these Libertarians/Extreamists aren't so exteme after all.
They're actually pretty logical.

Так рождаются газетные утки.

And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.

signing_of_the_declaration_of_independenceOn July 4th, 1776 these same extremists signed the Declaration of Independence, pledging to each other and their countrymen their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Many of them lost everything, including their families and their lives over the course of the next few years.

Lest we forget…

Мне вот этот кусок понравился:

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

Кстати, что это за экстремисты? Статья не дает никаких деталей.

Почему-то многие американцы верят, что история 350-летней даности определила путь современной Америки. Если следовать этой логике, то нужно обвинить отцов-основателей в том, что они не предотвратили ипотечный кризис.

Современной - вряд ли. Я думаю отцы-основатели в гробах переворачиваются глядя на выходки современных политиков.
