brother thats really sad to know.... but thanks to Allah that he saved you from even something worse that could have happen .... i know it hurts really bad when you get dent/scratch on an unscratched car (as it happened with me as well) but time is the best healer my friend, it will heal the pain.. but still All Praises Be To Allah that he saved you from something even worse that could've happen , shukar hai Allah ka k apkay maal pay museebat a gayi, jaan pe nahi ayi !
and as far as the protesters are concerned, once they were explaining it in Hasb-E-Haal that if the protesters wont protest violently, nobody int he Fd up government even notice ... they wont even bother to look on a bunch of people standing on road side with a couple of placards in their hands about their demands , so the protesters point was that they are compelled to protest in a violent way to be noticed (p.s. its neither my opinion, nor my word, i m just sharing what they were talking in Hasb-E-Haal regarding the protesters point of view )!!!
