1. July 14, 1789: 800 or so Parisians marched on the Bastille Fortress looking for weapons, ammo. --YES, they found them at this address too!
How many criminals, lunatics, dangerous sadists were in McCloskeys' basement? --more evidence needed!
Another case of: Analogy fail.
The Bastille was not burned! Taken apart stone by stone. It took a year! image @GallicaBnF
Does McCloskeys' house have same reputation? Not in architecture press stlmag.com/design/a-decad…
So, the analogy holds!!
YES, the St Louis protesters were storming the Bastille. If only the man with the keys had turned it over to them.
