I dunno, I understand folks saying this will piss off the folks who'd normally support them, but I reckon a lot of the folks with somewhat similar views will probably still agree with the cause even if they find some of the methods questionable. I think that part is why doing no actual permanent harm is so important. Something like this is going to get publicity at the end of the day, waving flags and chanting in a square, maybe not so much. I understand why a more radical approach is considered. If nothing else, it's gotten people talking. Edited June 19 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a Ken Darby "The Goalie" I'd be outraged. If it's that tricolour painting that was supposed to be worth $1 million by the Federal Government to France, they probably threw it in the trash bin when they got home.
