Subdeacon Joe Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 https://www.history.com/news/guy-fawkes-day-a-brief-history Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot ; I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'Twas his intent. To blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below. Poor old England to overthrow. By God's providence he was catch'd, With a dark lantern and burning match Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip Hoorah ! Hip hip Hoorah ! A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope, A farthing cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down, A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar,' Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head, Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It's my opinion that anyone wearing a Guy Fawkes mask these days should be treated with extreme prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know who Guy Fawkes was, or are you wearing that mask because you saw "v for vendetta", or because you saw other rioters wearing them? I bet 99% of them would select the last option.. which should be legal reason to slap the snot out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Throw a rope around their neck, drag them to the nearest tree and pull them up. After all, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged drawn and quartered. "He's standing over there? He apparently got away. Quick! Let's carry out the sentence!!"

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Uh..............at the risk of offending some people who I really like and don't want to offend, how were Fawkes's actions significantly different than our own founding fathers (and mothers)?

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Interesting... Quote In Britain, 5 November has variously been called Guy Fawkes Night, Guy Fawkes Day, Plot Night,[62] and Bonfire Night (which can be traced directly back to the original celebration of 5 November 1605).[63] Bonfires were accompanied by fireworks from the 1650s onwards, and it became the custom after 1673 to burn an effigy (usually of the pope) when heir presumptive James, Duke of York, converted to Catholicism.[3] Effigies of other notable figures have found their way onto the bonfires, such as Paul Kruger and Margaret Thatcher,[64] although most modern effigies are of Fawkes.[60] The "guy" is normally created by children from old clothes, newspapers, and a mask.[60] During the 19th century, "guy" came to mean an oddly dressed person, while in many places it has lost any pejorative connotation and instead refers to any male person and the plural form can refer to people of any gender (as in "you guys").[ Never knew that's where the term "guy" came from. .

Basically, he was trying to put Spanish Catholic catspaws on the English throne. Overthrowing the government. Our Rebel ancestors were trying to break free and establish their own nation composed of free and independent states.
