The Battle of Lexington and Concord was citizen militia's against British troops. The militia's didn't go shoot the blacksmith and the nice lady at the seamstress shop.

The Battle of Lexington and Concord was citizen militia's (sic)
against British troops. The militia's (sic)
didn't go shoot the blacksmith and the nice lady at the seamstress shop.That's because the village blacksmith and the nice lady seamstress were not among the British troops. If they had been, they undoubtedly would have been shot at.
Using the Boston Tea Party as an analogy here was simply a poor choice on your part.

That's what we used to do.
