The Boston Rebellion

The series of protests against the President have at last reached a climax. Yesterday, after the march had reached its destination in the center of Boston, the protesters did not disperse to go home. Instead, they broke into smaller groups and seized vital locations around the city. By nightfall, they had full control of the city. The police have largely gone over to the protesters, and the governor of Massachusetts has refused to send in the National Guard. A "Boston Citizen Committee" has taken over control of the city and is reportedly cooperating with the rebels. Other states in New England have passed motions of support, stating that they no longer consider themselves bound by any law signed by President the American leader. Instead, they call on all other state governments in the United States to declare the President deposed, Congress dissolved and to hold new elections. While parts of the military remain on our side, entire formations have informed their officers that they would not obey orders to crush the rebellion.
