It's beautiful, but those guards should have surrendered. Talk about getting killed for a terrible cause! During the fighting at Tuileries Palace, they shot a lot people who didn't even have guns. The French Revolution was a good thing.pic.twitter.com/kXE4SzFRqo

You don't know your history, they were ORDERED to surrender by their employer, the King. and they decided to ignore the order. After hours of gunning down peasants armed with pikes and swords their ammo ran out, and they ran for their wretched lives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurrection_of_10_August_1792 …

I not only support those peasants but I like the ending of the story exactly the way it happened, those scumbag flunkies got exactly what was coming to them. Down with kings! Blind loyalty to a king during a revolution is loathsome.
