The Boston Tea Party was an act of terrorism

[Procrustes Stretched]

A horde of White men disguised themselves as Native Americans — coppering their faces and donning headdresses in the same tradition that would lead to blackfaced minstrel shows decades later — to commit seditious conspiracy and destroy private property. The riotous mob trespassed on three ships and destroyed goods worth nearly $2 million in today’s money — all because they didn’t want to obey a duly passed law.
I love this article, if for nothing else that it speaks truths, while asking serious questions.

Attaboy! Kudos

Try as one might, it's difficult to ignore the facts:

A horde of White men disguised themselves as Native Americans — coppering their faces and donning headdresses in the same tradition that would lead to blackfaced minstrel shows decades later —

to commit seditious conspiracy

destroy private property

The riotous mob trespassed on three ships and destroyed goods worth nearly $2 million in today’s money

all because they didn’t want to obey a duly passed law.

Ah, the plaintiff whine ^ of the loser.

By the way, his sissy nature on full display notwithstanding, the dainty objects to anything not on topic in his threads. It’s only other people’s threads that he feels compelled to post off topic in.

Anyway, the Tea Party could only be an act of terrorism if it was designed to terrorize someone. I suspect that excludes inanimate objects.

Poor dainty. Lost in a thread of his own creation.

What would Dainty be if he wasn't an Anti-American commie fuckshit?

The world may never know.

Since you didn't vote in your own poll (lol), I'll assume you agree with the premise?

More Vandalism than Terrorism

All of the above.

Oh, in today's lexicon, it most certainly was terrorism as well as sedition and insurrection, and if today's democrats were around back then, they would have been reporting the people who did it to the British authorities, demanding their immediate executions, the seizure of all their property, and their families driven into the streets so the democrats could harass and physically force them from the area. In short, today's democrats are the British Loyalists of the Revolutionary era. Certainly not the patriots.

This thread is testament to Dainty's patriotism.

He has none, zero. If he does, it's NOT to America.

A riotous mob trespassing, attempting seditious conspiracy, destroying private property, destroyed goods worth nearly $2 million in today’s money — all because they didn’t want to obey a duly passed law is considered - vandalism?

I would call the Boston Tea Party an act of sabotage.

An act of terror would target innocent people or would attack infrastructure or the water supply of the people.

You have no clue what true patriotism is and is not. John Adams represented some British who were involved in putting down the riot outside the seat of the Massachusetts General Court - the Old State House in Boston, Massachusetts. You'd call him unpatriotic too.

and many of the men from the waterfront at the riot? Considered dregs of society back then.
