Right Wing Extremists Shoot Govt. Agents...

These guys are gonna cost us all our rights. It's guys like this who give us a bad name.

Terrorists Ambush Government Agents

Armed Radical Group Assaults Government

Members of a radical militia group ambushed government agents in a massive shootout today at a small town near Boston. Government agents as part of an ongoing investigation into the groups criminal activities were preparing to raid known stockpiles of military weapons and ammunition and arrest group leaders.

Tipped off about the raid several members of the group, led by a Colonel James Barrett moved their stockpile of assault weapons (including artillery pieces) to alternate locations. They then gathered members of their group at a local bar Wright's Tavern and made plans to ambush the agents they knew were coming. They then placed armed members at key points in preparation for the attack.

The arriving agents soon spotted several armed men. Despite the show of force, they were not to be intimidated and moved into position. Government agents, under orders to not fire unless fired upon, took up defensive positions.

Believing that government agents were burning their buildings the militia group advanced on the agents positions. Government agents fired warning shots hoping to stop the assault. In the confusion several agents directly engaged members of the advancing militia group, who then returned fire.

Several men were killed and wounded in the ensuing gun battle.

Government agents have identified and issued warrants for the key leadership of the militia group. Among the wanted are James Barrett, Paul Revere, William Dawes, John Parker, Samuel Prescott, Samuel Adams and John Hancock.
 
Fantastic. :)

Hmm, should it be worrying that a person raised and living in South Africa recognises all of those names? Damn, I spend too much time on gun boards...
 
Glad you guys like it.

And if you ever wondered how historical events would play out with todays media, there you go.
 
Yeah, well done, you had me until "stockpiles of weapons"... in Massachusettes... I knew immediately what was going on. ;)
 
Also announced by the government spokesperson was one of the rebels killed in the incident, identified as Isaac Davis of Acton, had manufactured unregistered bayonets for several of the Extremists.
 
The "small town near Boston" tipped me off. Modern news stories would be more specific. Of course, clicking on either of the links would have been good clues, too. :)
 
*sharp inhalation*

Reads post...

Phew. Had me going there. May I copy this and send it to friends?
 
That was good. I'll laugh harder when I get over my heart attack;). You had me going there for a minute.
 
You owe my company a new monitor and me a medical bill for stiches to my rught hand! And not counting a new pacemaker. :neener:

Man, some of us with our advanced ages we don't read as fast as some of the younger members, so we don't get to the punch line as fast.:p

You are going to give us "ole farts" a heart attack!:eek:
 
I actually grew up in Lexington, MA. Oh, the irony of having to beg my local police chief to let me get a CCL! You can almost see the famous Minuteman statue from the Police Station!

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't arrested the statue for brandishing his musket and possessing it without a valid FID.
 
Great post, but back then the Minutemen would have been considered Leftwing (except that that term did not exist until after the French Revolution).
 
Outstanding!
Hmm, should it be worrying that a person raised and living in South Africa recognises all of those names?
No, it's more worrying that there's probably more people in S. Africa that recognize those names than here in the USA!
