It's John Adams, an hbo show i think.

I wouldn't defend this, and anyone who does is a genuine retard. It's rich smugglers taking
advantage of a crowd mentality. Yeah, it was in the name of separation, but there were probably
better ways to go about it.

It's pine tar, it was likely around 50-60 Celsius. It would definitely cause moderate burns, but
could be re-melted and removed trivially and did no permanent damage.

Maybe Americans from 200 years ago would defend it.

We're still talking about an absurd level of public humiliation and a crowd fairly likely to
kill. This also isn't even close to what happened in real life.

During the period while Essex lay at New York Navy Yard undergoing urgent repairs, Master
Commandant David Porter mustered his crew at quarters and administered an oath of allegiance.
When Sailmaker John Erving [or Irving], an Englishman, objected, his messmates went to Porter and
asked permission to apply the ancient punishment of tar and feathers to humiliate the man for his
lack of patriotism. Porter was caught up in the enthusiasm of the moment and granted their
request.

Tarring and feathering was invented by the English though.

Speech intended to cause actions is very similar to the actions themselves from a moral
perspective. So why should an advocate of revolution not be willing to maim a few guys? He's
already causing the same thing by advocating revolution!
Anyway our revolution was mostly the rich elite protecting their interests so it's bullshit how
it's romanticized as much as it is.

Killing enemy soldiers is very different from holding down a ship captain and torturing him.

Considering that the british had a professional army at the time I suppose you're right.

that random black guy in the crowd is likely crispus attucks and he was first person shot at the
boston massacre which came not long after this incidence, he wasn't targeted specifically just
got hit in a volley meant to disprese a crowd.
