And will, your definition of violence seems strained - I doubt you'd argue about the emotional violence inflicted by racism.

It is not hyperbole. I'm not saying that Greenpeace shouldn't be liable and I already stated that these folks should be charged with trespassing and vandalism - just like most political protestors who break the law in our more enlightened age (while it lasts).
Money is totally beside the point - to me. Only it seems that now I live in an age where money is the
only point. Pardon me while I express a little dissatisfaction with that fact.
