    I mean, you do if you want to force change, punish more than a single person, want to disrupt activities, or want to make as big a scene as possible to gain visibility.

    Violent protest may not be popular, but it can work.

    The real problem here is that the moron doing it did it poorly, with little or no real planning, and ran the risk of unnecessary collateral damage. You gotta be careful with fire, and this wasn’t careful

      Really? You’re actually advocating arson as a potentially safe and effective way to effect social change?

      Grow the fuck up. I’m so glad you people lost political power this cycle.
