“Don’t retaliate. You’ll land yourself in jail, and make the movement look bad. We can’t even throw tea bags at the wussies!”
Good thing the Sons of Liberty didn’t abide by such craven advice!
The Sons of Liberty did not take up arms until much more drastic oppression from the Crown. Exercising self-restraint against liberal thugs looking for any excuse to pick a fight (and when the cops are already on our side) is the smart approach.
BTW, how many times have YOU been to protests?
