- Miner49er 7y agoSmashing a window is not really violence/not peaceful.
- cameronbrown 7y agoSeriously? Of course it is. Shattered glass is a massive public danger.

- pjc50 7y agoIt's interesting that this health hazard, which is highly localised, gets the adjective "massive", while the regular pollution in London which is also hazardous to health doesn't. Pollution isn't even classed as "violence" by almost anyone.
- happytoexplain 7y agoThis is maybe a little dishonest. Obviously for every existing public opinion or movement there is a non-zero number of individual members who have engaged in something literally violent. It's not useful to extrapolate that into calling all public opinions and movements violent.
- throwaway21981 7y agoThis is not some individual member, it's a co-founder of the movement.
