The Sons of Liberty decided they were not happy about the British in America, and about the taxes the British were forcing on us. So, one night the Sons of Liberty get intoxicated at the local bar, to "give them courage". Then they went outside and standing in front of Boston Commons House were some British soldiers. The Sons of Liberty decided to agitate them. So they started throwing snowballs, rocks, etc. at them. In the midst of the confusion, someone yells FIRE! and the British fire upon the Sons of Liberty, killing about six (one of which was a runaway slave). No one knows who yelled fire.
