Best Answer

The people of Boston were upset at the massacre, because the British were not supposed to fire and kill people of the colonies. By the soldiers shooting at the colonists, by accident or not, angered the people more against Britain and made them want to rebel more from their tyranny. The presence of the British soldiers were considered a threat, and that England did not trust the colonies. This was in part because the colonies did not agree with the taxes that Britain imposed on them.
