Quick question for the "history doesn't repeat itself" types...
![The crowd continued to press around the soldiers, taunting them by yelling "Fire!", by spitting at them, and by throwing snowballs and other small objects.[28] Innkeeper Richard Palmes was carrying a cudgel, and he came up to Preston and asked if the soldiers' weapons were loaded. Preston assured him that they were, but that they would not fire unless he ordered it; he later stated in his deposition that he was unlikely to do so, since he was standing in front of them. A thrown object then struck Private Montgomery, knocking him down and causing him to drop his musket. He recovered his weapon and angrily shouted "Damn you, fire!", then discharged it into the crowd although no command was given. Palmes swung his cudgel first at Montgomery, hitting his arm, and then at Preston. He narrowly missed Preston's head, striking him on the arm instead.[28]
There was a pause of uncertain length (eyewitness estimates ranged from several seconds to two minutes), after which the soldiers fired into the crowd. It was not a disciplined volley, since Preston gave no orders to fire; the soldiers fired a ragged series of shots which hit 11 men.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6limtenhfxpw5trko275zq2y/bafkreigfvibp7gyq2valdl3mq3j2vfkvo2pdyfqd5lr4x53c4smwwqp7ve@jpeg)

I always think Vance's understanding of his own public perception is the same as Calvin's when he thought he was going to win the traffic safety poster contest.
