This statement doesn't change what I said above. It's just another opinion of what constitutes "peaceful". Again (and again, and again), when they say peaceful, they mean non-violent. Non one was hurt, and it's clear their intent was to avoid any physical injury of the crew, therefore they stuck to their definition of peaceful just fine.
I like the use of "commandeering" and "another [man's] property. It was very dramatic.

It's not like burning coal has any negative effects.
I don't particularly care if you believe in the reality of global warming or not, but to pretend like burning coal has no negative effects is quite disconnected from reality. Unless you meant something else, in which case please elaborate.

Looks like GP was the ones doing the spanking. Just sayin.

Agreed.
If I were given the opportunity to honestly bring about real positive change that involved me peacefully breaking a law that didn't hurt anyone, I'd do it without a moment's hesitation. If laws get in the way of justice, they are meaningless words.
