text: The Boston Tea Party was unpopular at the time. So was the March on Washington, the Freedom Riders, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, MLK, and on and on. To focus on your discomfort with the protestors' method ignores virtually the entire tradition of peaceful protest in the US. It's certainly up to you if you want to disrespect their concerns for the safety of their families because you don't like their method. I don't see how that moves anything forward at all, but to each their own.
