Weird, I don't remember qualifying that statement as "violent CRIME."

From OED:

violence: The exercise of physical force so as to inflict injury on, or cause damage to, persons or property; action or conduct characterized by this; treatment or usage tending to cause bodily injury or forcibly interfering with personal freedom.

Nothing supports a dumbass claim quite like a pedantic and questionable interpretation of a subset of the definition of a term cited from a dictionary. Damaging property is a crime, but it isn't a violent crime, and yet you want the world to believe that graffiti is violence.

Somehow, someway, if you were standing trial for graffiti, I suspect you would not characterize the act you're being charged with as a violent act. But when it's the left doing the same thing, shit, that's as violent as it comes.
