17. He probably reasons that he was overturning the tables of the money changers and dove vendors.

Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-18

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.”


Jesus gives a thumbs-up to those who take it upon themselves to aggressively and violently disrupt what they don't agree with. Christianity goes way beyond "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
