Snert makes a good point though.  Should a raped woman be justified in attaching the home of the rapist (or the judge that let him off too easily...or the police that did not believe or or treat her with a respectful investigation)?  I understand and have studied the philosophical underpinnings of anarchism and I still believe in the rule of law and democracy. You can argue that it is severely flawed in its current formation in Canada, but also argue that extremely positive changes have happened while respecting the rule of law and working democratically.

Pressuring politicians to ensure companies receiving corporate welfare cannot lay people off and working to bring public attention and outrae to this issue seems the way to go. Trashing the CEO's house is a crime and should remain a crime.

martin: I wasn't arguing that activists should strive for "good press" from a biased MSM (or that this should be valued) I was arguing Michelle's contention that those trashing the Brit bankeer's house did in fact receive "good press" (however you define it).
