@DrALJONES For the record, this is how you turn peaceful protesters into eco-terrorists. If it's criminalized anyway, why not hit them so it really hurts?
I think i get your point, though i wouldn't use that term....
@DrALJONES Neither would I, to express my own view - but it's within the same terminology by which peaceful protesting is defined as a crime; on Their terms they're creating what they will undoubtedly call eco-terrorism.
Yes, i know That's why I'd add something like "so-called" or put quote marks around it - to clarify you don't accept it as legitimate.
