Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase which means "Thus always to tyrants". Reportedly, Marcus Brutus said it at the assassination of Julius Caesar.
It is the Commonwealth motto of Virginia and the motto of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
It was also shouted by John Wilkes Booth after he shot Abraham Lincoln.
