Stamp+Act+Project

media type="custom" key="7320251" Boston Gazette The hanging of Andrew Oliver and Thomas Hutchinson today was a an angry mob as well as a political movement. The Sons of Liberty organized a mob to cause a riot, "stamping" carts and goods all along the street and past the state house. I don't like that people who claim to be trying to gain independance would put on something so illegal and reckless to try to get a point across. Independance is supposed to be about freedom and becoming a united nation. A well funtcioning country does not start a mob and destroy everything when they get upset about a law. If the public goes out and does that then its unfortunate, but they are just angry and want to lash out. The sons of Liberty however wanted to prove a political point and that is no way to prove a political point. Politicians should be civilized to a degree and fight problems with words and facts, not by destroying towns and killing people. The sons of Liberty were upset that the British were Taxing us too much, but you can't put a price on the human life, and they did. The sons of liberty had those two men killed who were ordered to issue the stamp. If your father tells you to do something, you dont ask why or say no, you do it and you do it right. the British officials were just like those kids listening to their fathers. Also, to call this mob scene a political movement is a disrespect to how civilized people settle disputes. The sons of liberty wanted to be treated like civilized people who dont have to pay a lot of taxes but they wanted to act like criminals. It sounds to me like the sons of liberty are being hipocrits.
