  Love you first sentence :)

  But I never did say that they are the same. There is a way to point on logic fallacy by taking the logic to the extreme. Also, we may argue about semantics, whether to call protest peaceful or not, but it is a disturbance and against the university rules. There are ways to protest without violating those.

    There is nothing to take to the extreme here. The comment was, “if you’re drawing national attention with your protest, you’re doing it right”. Shooting people is no way, shape, or form a protest.

    Can tell me how this protest is different from the ones about Vietnam War or South African Apartheid or Iraq War?

    here is a way to point on logical fallacy by taking the logic to the extreme.

    The problem with this statement is that it requires you to actually use logic to get there, something your original comment sorely lacks.

    When you use hyperbole like that you will only win idiots to your side. Maybe that’s what you want. But you are literally comparing this protest to mass murder, whether you are being sincere or not. If you’re not then you have no point. Is breaking university rules as bad as mass murder? No.
