Although I would never condemn a person for smashing a shop window or whatever I do want to ask a general question (it's more a statement for comment really).

The idea that you are 'hurting' the company by smashing their windows doesn't, to me, make sense. Yes, the insurance company will raise the premiums, but this will effect normal individuals who have home insurance etc as well. (I know this opens a 'insurance in bad' debate but many working class people do have insurance).

Unlike the individual the company can live with the increase in insurance premiums because they can simply put the price of their goods up a little to cover the additional costs.

Unless it is part of a comprehensive attempt to overthrow the whole system it may end up hurting the wrong targets.

TnKs for the comment and I recognise your concern.I used, when younger to share the same concern before 12 seperate attacks to a fur shop in a city centre eventually closed it down,it never reopened its blood stained doors again,(at least in that part of the country that we know of)..after seeing the positive results of these actions against specific targets pay off , to advocate this measure it seems is correct.Be careful,wear gloves and hoods,have a 'look out' and together we can (as proven) run these death merchants,exploiters and profiteers of suffering out of our towns :)
Everyday is protest day.

As we smash plate glass it's equally or more important to rebuild our community, rediscover a way of life which nourishes us physically,emotionlly and spritually. We can throw all the bricks we want but at the end of the day only we can build something new, the 'state' is not going to do it for us.
