The Broad Street Riot occurred in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 11, 1837. The riot began when a company of English firefighters met with an Irish funeral procession on Broad Street. Fighting broke out, and eventually 1000 people were included in the melee, though no one was killed. Several houses were broken into and vandalized, and the rioters launched rocks and other missiles at each other. The fight was eventually broken up by the military.
I may be digging too deep here, but I think that they're comparing themselves to the Irish rioters. In protesting social change, the MMB's are a lot like the Irish, who viewed themselves as oppressed by the British. Mainly because they were oppressed by the British.
