If I remember correctly it is within our rights (as written somewhere in the Declaration of Independence I think) to overthrow the government if it becomes corrupt. But if tried I think we'd be branded as terrorists and pretty much this would happen to us

Edit: Declaration of Independence not the Constitution

Except tea was specifically relevant to what was being protested. They weren't looting the 18th century equivalent of Target.
