“Went to a peace rally, and a fight broke out”

"Rita Preckshot went to a peace rally, and a fight broke out."
I love that line so much, I had to use it for the title. The article’s a fun read too.
But, they make it sound like this is an unusual event. Fact is, activists have a long history of violence. From environmentalists trying to save trees by putting spikes in them, to other environmentalists starting fires to prevent greenhouse gases, to the violent protests against the World Bank in Seattle protesting their investing in third world countries, the logic of radical activists has never been terribly grounded in reason. Punching out small women in the name of advocating peace doesn’t surprise me at all.
