Seems that some on the left are stuggling with the meaning of words - now I may be in the Humpty Dumpty camp but I do like a nice definition - here's the Concise Oxford Dictionary:
Violence n. Quality of being violent; violent conduct or treatment; outrage; injury (do ~ to, act contrary to, outrage: (Law) unlawful exercise of physical force; intimidation by expression of this.
Violent a. 1. involving great physical force...2. involving unlawful exercise of force...3. intense, vehement, passionate, furious, impetuous, vivid...4. Hence ~ly
It seems to me that putting a brick through a window confirms entirely with this definition of violence and violent!
