CHAPTER

Do You Think the Destruction of Property Is a Form of Violence?

I agree with the indiscriminate killing of civilians, but not necessarily to create fear. But if you advocate putting these machines out of business, i don't see how that can fall under a reasonable definition of what terrorism is. Some people will call it terrorism, just like some people would call the belem protestes terrorists last year. It's also hard to try to dispute the very general perception that if people march down the street and smash all the windows in the shops, what they're doing is non violent. A riot is generally perceived as violent thing, even if it doesn't harm a human being.
