I take it, said vandalising protestor doesn't mind accepting a beating by said vandalised property owner?

If that's the contract, let them get on

There's a world of difference between a bit of paint and taking a hiding.

Why?

I was taught as a kid, expect a thick ear if you damage somebody's else's property or possessions.

Sure made you think twice before doing stupid stuff

There's a long history of protests that were either violent or destructive, or both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

I bet you would be the first one cheering if you where alive at that time and they would charge those ''protestors'' with terorism. And for the record, i don't believe there is a thing as voilent or destructive protest, the moment a protest is either voilent or destructive it is no longer a protest.
Even if some goverment officials embrace it because it suits their narrative.

You can have your own private definition of 'protest' if you like.

If Ian had been alive at that time, he would (probably) be slightly less educated than you are today.
