Reply to comment by Nose-Nuggets in Hundreds of climate activists were arrested in The Hague after blocking the A12 highway in both ways on Saturday afternoon in protest at government subsidies for fossil fuels such as oil and gas by DoremusJessup

If the cars are a major part of the problem, then the means of directly stopping the problem to indirectly stop the problem because literally everything else has been tried seem pretty justified.

Your logic would say someone who responded to being shot at by disarming the gunman was a thief.
