It's impossible to answer every email right away. You'll certainly get an answer, but I can't promise when. If you saw the catastrophic mess that is the HN inbox, you'd understand why.

Wasn't this past curfew (7pm in DC), which is illegal for them to be gathering?
Are you familiar with how America got started?
The Boston Tea Party was a riot by the colonial residents and it was an instigating event in the Revolutionary War.
