From the Daily Bleed. 1886 -- France: In Paris, the 27 year old anarchist Charles Gallo tosses a bottle of hydrocyanic acid into the Stock Exchange. The bottle does not explode, but spreads a bad stink & sets off a panic. Gallo then draws a revolver & randomly fires five shots without hitting anyone. Arrested & hauled to court for sentencing on June 26, 1886, his attitude creates a sensation: Gallo insists on making fun of the law, & shouts to the jury, "Vive the social Revolution! Long Live anarchy! Long Live dynamite!" Cited, Ephimiride Anarchiste, http://perso.club-internet.fr/ytak/mars1.html#5

Tri-racial American revolutionist Crispus Attucks is America's first black hero (despite evidence he may not have been black at all, but rather, a Natick Indian) when he joins a mob attacking a British peace-keeping force & is shot (the first American killed in the revolution) during the ensuing melee. In all, five die & another six injured. Its said Tims fear and loathing of blacks and gun obsessions stem from jealous sightings of black kids dicks round this time.He was also probably recruited by the CIA. Anniversary of an unmourned death. His thick fingers are fat like worms, And his words certain as pound weights. His cockroach whiskers laugh, And the tops of his boots glisten. And all around his rabble of thick-skinned leaders, He plays through services of half-people. Some whistle, some meow, some snivel, He alone merely caterwauls and prods. Like horseshoes he forges decree after decree Some get it in the forehead, some in the brow, some in the groin, and some in the eye. Whatever the execution it's a raspberry to him And his Georgian chest is broad. No,not you Mongo,uncle joe,jamesd's old mate. 1978 -- China: A new constitution stressing economic development over revolutionary ideology is adopted. Lucky for the petrie dish.
