re: For the people comparing Minneapolis riots to the Boston Tea Party, STOP!

Man I got lost on Twitter comments just now and every black twitter handle is mentioning the Boston Tea party as their justification to riot. Kinda dumb the comments on Twitter- I really do not miss using that platform.

Further proof Twitter needs to have all their legal protections removed.

Take 5 minutes checking out "black Twitter" and you will see that 90% have violated hate-speech codes and or Terms of Service and should be banned forever....but they aren't.

If you see anymore more of the garbage direct them to the historical site.

Besides the destruction of the tea, historical accounts record no damage was done to any of the three ships, the crew or any other items onboard the ships except for one broken padlock. The padlock was the personal property of one of the ships’ captains and was promptly replaced the next day by the Patriots. Great care was taken by the Sons of Liberty to avoid the destruction of personal property – save for the cargo of British East India Company tea. Nothing was stolen or looted from the ships, not even the tea. One participant tried to steal some tea but was reprimanded and stopped. The Sons of Liberty were very careful about how the action was carried out and made sure nothing besides the tea was damaged. After the destruction of the tea, the participants swept the decks of the ships clean, and anything that was moved was put back in its proper place. The crews of the ships attested to the fact there had been no damage to any of the ships except for the destruction of their cargoes of tea.

Not even close to how people are reacting in Minneapolis.
