The folks in the streets in MN are taking advantage of the protests and looting businesses that have zero affiliation to the government. Yeah, they got around to burning a police station but they didn’t go burn the mayors office or go torch the police motor pool.... they looted a target and a bunch of liquor stores. If the only violent actions had been against the government Id say it’s a good comparison, but that’s not the case.

that was over 200 years ago, tactics change. But the criminal behavior of the patriots would have gotten them hung for traitors had it not worked out. I'm sure the other 97% of the population was running around and bad mouthing their behavior at the time. Everyone wants to be a 3%'r nowadays, until its time to do 3% chit.

edit to add, they hit motor pool the first night.
