When I passed through the State House I saw a boy who shouted “I’m dying” and he was bleeing on his head. People were gathering.

British soldiers started shooting us, innocent Bostonians! Come and help us! #GodhelpAmerica @State House

“Damn you, fire!” Don’t let the British steal your honor. Gather around and fight for your rights!

Written by the British soldiers

It’s evening now. I’m still on duty. There’s a bunch of teenagers yelling at my colleague. #KingStreet

I feel scared because the snow they threw really hurt me. One of my colleagues fell down and accidentally fired his weapon into the crowd. #gangsta

Finally, Governor Thomas Hutchinson #boss came here. He got everyone to leave. He asked me to talk with him about what happened.

On my way home from work I bumped into a British soldier. He kept bothering me so I told him his Mom was ugly and he hit me in the head #whatajerk
