My argument is "defacing property is an act of violence." "Defacing" by definition is alteration without permission, whether by act of adding of removing some feature.

Definition of Violent Knocking someone out is violent. Stabbing someone is violent. Setting off a bomb in a crowded area is horrifically violent. Defacing property is petty and disrespectful, but it is not, by any definition of the word, violent.
