Pointless point... no comparison between the two scenarios. In the first, a group of irritating people are trying to prevent people from going about their lawful business. In the second, a guy is going about his lawful campaigning when he is accosted by an asshole.
An assault is called for in the first example but not in the second (maybe not legally, though!)
In the absence of an adequate police response, people have to do what is necesary to get things moving again.
You do have a serious issue with double standards.... |
Perfectly valid comparison.
Two different people were assaulted, in one instance a group of people call for prosecution. In the next instance the assault is justified because they inconvenienced people.
No, people do not have to do what is necxesary to get things moving again. What happened to the public was at best an inconvenience that’s all. No commuters were injured nor assaulted by members of XR It does not justify the perpetrators being assaulted.
For you to suggest that they deserve it just demonstrates how low some levels of society have sunk too regarding their moral compass.
