Two Banished Quakers Hang After Returning to Boston

quakers hanged

Boston’s like, “We warned you!!!”

Marmaduke (seriously — that’s his name????) Stephenson and Will Robinson went to Massachusetts to protest the ban on Quakers. Sadly they were thrown in jail and banished.

But then, out of sheer stoopidity, they returned to Massachusetts where they were AGAIN thrown in jail and eventually hanged. 

Let’s hope they didn’t die in vain and SOMEONE can learn from their mistakes.

Tsk, tsk.
