Pretty sad what happened to them. They weren't evil people, and there was no need to execute them.

I think of the miracle of our American Revolution, and its lack of vindictiveness and bloody political retribution. That's truly unique in the history of revolutionary change.

The crop of evil left wing Americans we have now, had they the opportunity, would make Robespierre, Lenin, and Pol Pot look like kindergarten teachers.

Disagree. Read up on partisan warfare in NC/SC.

What is keeping the American left at bay is that many Americans are ARMED.

"Pretty sad what happened to them. They weren't evil people, and there was no need to execute them."

It is very, very, unfortunate, but I can see why they had to be killed. So long as any of them lived, even in exile, there existed the possibility that the monarchy could be restored. The Russians are excitable about their Tsars, and much murder is done trying to restore this one or that one. Google my screen name for a particularly bloody example. Sad as it is for those innocent girls and the young boy, those children would have cost the lives of tens of thousands had they lived -- "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown".
