      Also he was able to give an interview afterwards.

      The fact he can still talk after trying to run down picketers is better than he deserves.

    The words "turned violent" in news reports are interesting because they always refer to a response to violent action rather than the actual inciting violent action.

    Strikes "turn violent" when the workers respond to somebody trying to run them over.

    Protests "turn violent" when the protesters respond to cops teargassing and beating them.

      As opposed to, presumably, becoming matadors and causing the garbage truck driver to plunge into the sea. They could have then sang Hamilton songs as they emerged from the water to capture a new fan in the marketplace of ideas.
