The beasts that lurk among us — and the American saga

© UPI Photo The American saga has never encompassed anything quite like the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, but it has come close. Bloodthirsty mobs, violent intimidation, insurrections both real and threatened: These slouching beasts have long lurked in the darker valleys of our political landscape. In the late 1760s, angry mobs across the colonies demolished private homes, threatened officials, even tarred and feathered customs inspectors. On a winter’s night 1770, a “motley rabble,” in the words of John Adams, accosted British soldiers with sticks and stones, “shouting and hazing and threatening life.” The Redcoats opened fire and killed five, a sharp turn on the road to Revolution.
