Essay #1

Although it was a tragic event the Boston Massacre was the fault of the soldiers . The British soldiers should not have shot into a group of people that were out of control. They should have been able to control them other than having to shoot them. When the shot was fired and the rest of the British soldiers took that as an invitation to fire on everyone, including young boys. That behavior cannot be condoned.
The British soldiers are to blame for this terrible event. Although the people were getting a little excited but the British should have been able to control the people. They shouldn't have had to fire shots and kill innocent people. This act that was committed showed the heartless, and brutality of the British soldiers. They did not think twice about shooting into a crowd of people that included grandfathers, fathers, brothers and sons.
These soldiers that committed this awful crime should be put in jail for at least 2 years. We cannot let the act of killing people slide. They must pay for the actions that they committed. I feel that although the people should not have been in the square at that time, the british should not have shot into the crowd. The king must punish people for the crimes that they commit or else everyone will start to try illegal things. So these acts must be punished.
