Not a good comparison. The guys that targeted the ship didn’t indiscriminately burn the rest of the port. The guys that dumped the tea in Boston didn’t go burn the shops across the street. They were rebelling against the monarchy. Raid a British ship, destroy British tea, those are actions against a specific entity. 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.
