General Road and Highway Discussion

Except now they will know...now they will feel that pain directly.

There is method to this madness.

Just because there is method to it doesn’t mean it isn’t madness.

It’s pure vandalism. As far as I’m concerned it could be random and it would be no worse. Arguably not even as bad, because these people are pretending to have thought things through and arrived at a considered decision to participate in an action, when that action is really just criminal activity.

What next, break the windows of businesses of which we disapprove? There are a lot of SUV dealerships with some pretty nice windows…

You're welcome to disagree with direct action although, as I have done as late, I'd suggest you least try to understand the societal reasons why it is happening, and it's historical context, and it's historical record of effectiveness.

But to suggest that random behaviour is "better" is absurd on the face. You are suggesting that while the effect on the victims is identical, it is somehow worse BECAUSE those doing it want a better world, rather than a more chaotic one?

Rosa Parks sitting on the bus was also a criminal act. It was also a planned protest. These things are not mutually exclusive.
