In fairness, that’s kind of where I’m at, but obviously at the opposite end of your politics e.g., I personally wouldn’t punch Richard Spencer, or ‘milkshake’ Tommy Robinson... but I wouldn’t stop someone else from doing it. 

 

Spencer is not a small bloke. I reckon he could take you, mate.

This is a good example of where the line should be drawn on the definition of violence: lobbing a harmless substance  (e.g. milkshake) isn't violent; lobbing a harmful substance  (e.g. cement) clearly is.

Yeah, i see your point and there is a line. That said, my point about the milkshake throwing thing, which is just ridiculous in my opinion, wasn't ever about violence it was both about how effective it is and about how it would get worse. Which is what that is. I dunno, I just don't want a political system where it's okay to throw stuff at people you don't want to listen to.
