A balloon, even a large one, is not a car, not by a long shot. Popping a balloon is also not comparable to smashing a car to pieces in all but the most reductive and meaninglessly simplistic sense.


Go on then. What's the difference?

Other than that the balloon is being used to exercise a constitutional right, which most cars aren't.

You do know those balloons cost the best part of 5 grand, right? It's not a latex balloon on a string.

I think the difference is incredibly obvious, Sal.

A new car averages at six to seven times that.
And the balloon still exists in a recognizable state, unlike a car that's been smashed to pieces.

And a second hand car can be easily bought for 5 grand. It's still a car.

It can be repaired, yes. Much like a damaged car can. You done dancing yet?

Fine, I'll just smash the windscreen. Is it somehow not violence any more?

I'd call it vandalism.
Though that is more comparable to what actually happened here.

I have a few articles in mind, but I am not sure which one to bring up first. and I am not too sure which of my fellow nations on this thread I can quote, post to and link to, since the incident that happened to me that I consider unnecessary.

But the moderators are right I did a foolish thing the first time, despite me not trying to evade any foe list, ignore list or puppet wank anything, the second time it was an honest accident on my part.

I for one don't foe list anyone or ignore list anyone. I Post to all nations and Persons.

I don't. Professor Corey is correct. He opened up a big boy knife in public, then made posts on his facebook in advance saying he'd do it, then afterwards saying he'd do it again. They are going to bury him in charges.
