How exactly did the "city as a whole" allow Irish terrorism to go on?

Was there a town hall meeting of All Bostonians where they decided en masse to support the IRA?

Because not even the fucking American Revolution worked that way, and that involved directly shooting British people. You seem fourteen.

b/cuz not every single bostonian put in a vote supporting the ira meant there wasnt widespread support on both a local cultural level and among the political actors in the city and we cant frame it in that light

arent you meant to be a historian

Well, yeah. And if I typed a sentence like "the entire city as a whole supported IRA terrorism" in an essay and handed it to a fellow historian, I'd get ripped to shreds.

Now, if I said "there was widespread support on both a local cultural level and among the political actors in that city" we'd be saying something different, now wouldn't we?

At the same time, if I tagged on "and therefore those living in Boston in 2013 deserved the Boston Marathon bombing" I would be punched repeatedly in the face because I deserved it.

I would then hopefully be deported back to England to silently eat curry chips and pretend I'm oppressed.

who said anything about deserved

you keep brining that up but noones suggested it

oh so boston helped to prosecute people complicit in supporting terrorism then and many local politicians werent overt supporters of gerry adams and the ira

thanks was unaware

No I see absolutely no implied blame or gloating going on in this text.

amazing how you're able to project and infer intent through the written word.

that's some superpower you have there.

It is indeed!

You too can get such amazing powers by doing well in your average English or History class

The original post did. It was as subtle as being hit in the face with a bat. Boston isn't only Irish, and even South Boston isn't mostly Irish anymore either. My family is Irish and from Southie, and believe me, not one of them supported the IRA.

I don't know if you've ever actually been to Boston, or if you've just read some "facts" off some website and now have a SJW crusade to wage, but you're pretty off-base here.

You do realize many of those affected weren't even from Boston in the first place, right?

Your line of reasoning doesn't even make sense within the context of your fucked up logic. There is no Gaia-like Spirit Of Boston to feel properly upset. There is no Captain Boston And The Bostoneers.

Sorry to change the subject, but "Captain Boston and the Bostoneers" should totally be a thing. Just because.

They'd have wicked sword fights!
