Nobody made the British leave by carrying a protest sign and marching against King George. It was Minute Men with muskets and Minute Men who used those muskets to kick tyranny out of America.

They ALWAYS show up. 42 were arrested but I don't know how many of the bridge-chumps they got.

They sometimes blend in with the crowd looking for a fight, looking to loot or to unleash aggression at cops.
