re: #81 Dr Lizardo

Yeah, I’ve seen it being referred to as “political violence”.

No. Throwing a brick or rocks at someone….that’s political violence. Tossing rotten eggs or rotten tomatoes or rotten vegetables at politicians is as old as the hills. Throwing milkshakes is just a more updated variant of that venerable, time-honored tradition.

Call it harassment, intimidation even, but calling it violence is really just an attempt to equate it with other acts that truly result in injury or death.
