In Boston, a gang of "thugs", some in disguise, protestors vandalize!

In 1773, The Sons of Liberty had a protest against taxes, stormed a ship and threw chests of tea overboard.
Pissed off the British, a Revolution ensued, and here we are.

This shit was bound to happen. George Floyd's murder seems to have been the last straw.

1. Actually, The Protest Was Against A Reduction In the Price Of Tea

This undercut the profits of smugglers whose business was evading the excise.

In fact, the Tea Act lifted a number of taxes which had been in place for several years, intended to recoup some of the cost of soldiers deployed to the Colonies to fight the French, in the theater of the global Seven Years War known locally as the French and Indian War. The tax on tea was retained, but the East India Company was given leave to sell in the Colonies at a reduced price many tons of tea in store which it had not been able to sell previously.
