Poolibar is right. It's stealing.

I'm not saying it's not. It's low thievery and if it hurts those angry lesbian anti-american, anti-freedom, anti-rights bastards it is a great good.

Is dressing up as injuns and throwing a load of the King's Company's tea into Boston Harbor stealing?

No, it's destroying someone else's property. BTW, that property did not belong to the King; it belonged to private citizens.

Tell ya what: I am philosophically opposed to property taxes, so whaddaya say I burn down YOUR frickin' house to protest them?

Hmmmmm. That would probably be deemed an act of war or protest. That would be vandalism not stealing since they didn't take it for themselves. An act only justified because of the lack of representation effectively reduced the colonies to slavery.

I'm not sure you have any moral justification for stealing. It's not like "those angry lesbian anti-american anti-freedom anti-rights bastards" aren't operating under the laws your duly elected officials set up.

And the only difference between low thievery and grand larceny is the amount.
