Nope.
All the Boston Tea Party did was to throw tea into the water. Merchandise only, the merchandise that was being unfairly (in their minds) taxed. There was no wanton destruction of random property or retail outlets. There was no destruction even of the ships, only tea.

AKA: I approve of the motives of that illegal riot, so it's ok.

Did they pay for the merchandise?

No?


Then they destroyed another's property and form of livelihood for a government program the owner of the merchandise had no hand in enacting.

A police overreaction to a protest about police overreaction. Yeah that will work.

From the videos I'm seeing, the police around the nation aren't handling this particularly well.

I hate the riots as much as anyone else. But if you do that, start unloading weapons into crowds of people, that will go beyond the point of no return. We can never again go back to being a peaceful nation.

It would be impossible to ever truly trust the government anymore. Not to mention it would escalate extremely quickly from shooting only rioters to shooting innocent citizens who were trying to peacefully and legally assemble.

Nah would make things worse. Cops put themselves in this position by egregiously killing subdued civilians. It took these riots to get justice in the first place.

And naturally we've been reminded that even at the Boston Tea Party or even the Revolution the first casualty was a black man. Crispus Attucks. Uggh.

At midnight, when curfews are in place, no one is there to "peacefully assemble".

Two camps of people at this time of night:
1) Those who want to riot
2) Those who want to be there to watch the rioters

So now we are for curfews and martial law?


What changed in the last few weeks to that shite being Un-American?

Think Trump should call Kim Jon Un and see what he would do in this situation. Couple of rounds of anti aircraft fire should put the crowds to rest. These cowards ain't ready to die. The reason they keep coming out is because government is looking the other way.

If cops start shooting they will be overwhelmed at some point by large armed mobs of thugs and the police will be forced to retreat...the lucky ones.

The people who think the solution is to "just start shooting" are fricking retarded.

bc liberal govs and mayors want as much chaos as possible in hopes of people blaming Trump. They'll call it Trump's America instead of dem's states and cities.
