Seems like the whole thing calmed down yesterday after they used pepper spray on Ron (of CNBC). Why close the streets down? Why not leave the streets open and just let Ron have it again if the crowd gets out of hand? It worked before.

Of course, those partiers didn't arrive in a drunken stupor looking for a good bar and a rowdy fight. They had a cause.

Ah, but they did something important, sent a message. Smashing shop windows is just idiotic.

>>Well luckily the Boston Tea "Partiers" didn't settle for just one day of legal protest.<<

Silly statement. Apples to Oranges
