Who is the intended audience of that comment that you believe will equate sources of food and water to swasticars?
He didn't say "swasticars." He said "property." Property damage can absolutely be violence against civilians.
My audience would be anyone tempted to think that planting a burning cross in the yard of a black family does not count as violence against civilians, because it's just property damage.
That's a threat of violence against a civilian. Fucking cars in a dealership is just vandalism.
Do you think the employees of the dealership felt threatened?
There's a difference between feeling threatened by something happening nearby and somebody threatening you. Karen might feel threatened because she saw someone break into her nighbors car, but she's not being threatened.
