So I take it you think the Boston Tea Party was pusillanimous? After all, those Patriots killed no one, in that event.

I’ll refrain from saying what I really think of your comments.

They were protesting a tax, not repelling an invasion. At Lexington and Concord they were repelling an invasion. And they shot people.

Of course, I don't advocate killing illegal aliens. But when you invoke the rhetoric of war, and you use that to excuse lawless acts, the logical end result is violence; that is how wars are fought and invasions repelled.
