Since he signed the Declaration, it seems he must have agreed that it
was a mock trial for the purpose of protecting the murderers from
punishment.  Still, it's unfair to compare the Boston Massacre to
Waco.  The Boston Massacre is much more comparable to Kent State --
AFAIK, the British never did anything as horrible as Waco.
