Either way. The recent Boston Bombing resonated. Read this quote, from Wikipedia:
The Townshend Acts were met with resistance in the colonies, prompting the occupation of Boston by British troops in 1768, which eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre of 1770.
During the Boston Massacre, troops quartered the homes and then the massacre occurred. During the Boston Bombing, a “massacre” occurred first, and then law enforcement forced themselves onto homes, martial-law-wise.
