The Loud Libertarian View ~ The Boston Tea Party

I've been stumbling over a lot of garbage that cites The Boston Tea Party as some kind of twisted precedent, the idea being that The Boston Tea Party somehow justifies the wanton destruction currently being perpetrated by the hooligans who're currently perpetrating it.

A bunch of criminal scum, running around stealing, destroying, assaulting, raping, and murdering, hard as the concept evidently is, for some to process, is not the same thing as the legendary American Patriots of Boston responding to the criminal corruption and tyranny that then, regrettably, held sway in Parliament, and threatened to annihilate American commerce in ostentatiously corrupt ways, by fighting back in a constrained and non-violent way.
