Yes, a much better idea for us to be governed by people who solve problems by smashing windows with rocks.

Again, way to totally miss the point. Whether or not the smashing is justified is a much larger discussion, though largely irrelevant to establishing your repeated evasiveness. So let's say for this point's sake that it absolutely isn't justified, under any circumstances. Does my point not still stand?

Your suggestion to the window smashers was to "get the city to write them a fucking parking ticket". I asked you why you think they would be engaging in the tactics that they are engaging in if that were any sort of viable channel through which to have their grievances addressed. As far as I can tell, you've done nothing to address my question, and your suggestion to the protesters remains invalid and meaningless. I think you should retract your condemnation of them, since so far you've been unable to propose a realistic alternative.
