Here is your recommended daily dose of historical geekery:
I just got a breaking news email about a barn catching on fire in upstate New York after a police assault.
It wasn't in upstate New York, but on April 26, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was killed after hiding out in a barn...which soldiers had surrounded, and set on fire.
ZOMG REPETITION OF HISTORY.
Sort of.
