Who really fired the first shot at Lexington? 🔫⚖️ Was it the British Army, marching to seize colonial supplies? Or the Lexington militia, standing their ground? Both sides swore the other pulled the trigger first. Witnesses contradict, propaganda muddied the water, and even decades later, memories of the event shift with pride and politics.

hi born in bostan and i was in socking
In the OG trilogy, Han shot first…. In the remaster, however it was Greedo that shot first…who actually shot first can only be canonically answered by George Lucas
Merica
1:13 ACE ATTORNEY REFERENCE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m entirely inclined to believe it was a misfire. Who’s to say the Militiamen were all keeping proper trigger discipline given their groggy and panicked state?
And it has precedent. Take something like the Milperra Massacre, where the first shot was fired on accident.
1:28 aaaah ohhhhh
I have always believed in an idea that an extremely disgruntled person fired the first shot from a hidden place on the perimeter of the green. Causing each side to fire at will, not knowing who truly fired the first shot. Everyone's testimony changes in the 1800s are from them wanting the glory and pride. But I don't think either "Side" fired the first shot, but a vigilante in favor of independence fired first. Or the opposite, that a British Sharpshooter was ordered secretly to take a position to fire the shot to begin the war, so that the rebellion could be put down before it had a true chance of starting, but the plan failed terribly for the British.
It was probably the less disciplined Americans, but I always thought it would be hilarious if the shot came
From a nearby hunter looking to get some venison for the family. “Whoops, I wanted dear and I got a revolution!”
It was Bobby Thomson.
WE know IT was Han Solo WHO shot first
