    There have been many more acts of violence committed by environmental groups for their cause.

    No, there haven't been. Maybe more economic damage from industrial sabotage, but industrian sabotage is not terrorism nor violence towards people.

    Not to mention unions, who have a history of being linked with violence and ironically the mob.

    And businesses have a long histroy of cheating on their taxes, dumping toxic chemicals into the river and sexually harrassing their secretaries. Let's get rid of them, too.
