Well, it may come as a shock to you, but there is a London several thousand miles away to the east, as well. I hope you don't suffer any lasting psychological damage coming to terms with this.

Oh come now wsmac it is hardly rocket science. Lets not get precious here.

Most people if they saw a transit van filled with explosives heading for a major town or city with only one intention to kill would support taking that out. Disarming as such would be a moral obligation, one has every right to see such thing as violence. However, cars, signs, trucks and planes don't scream and bleed. Children do.

Those who call this violent or criminal, I feel need to look more deeply at the relationship of the state at it's violence.

AS a group we have to be accountable, we have to explore our own anger, and defects of which we have many. But a crime to save life's.......... I feel no, not at all.


Excuse me, what you did is very criminal - and how do you compare malicious destruction of property to stopping terrorists - in what way does slopping red paint stop terrorists or further your cause?

By the way my little joke about knowing what side of the fence you were on was a joke. I appreciate we can all take things the wrong way, but my intention was light, and well meaning.

i have no desire to take this further.

Go well till our paths cross again.

Consider what sort of society we might be living in today were it not for the collective bravery of law breaking activists over the previous centuries? would women be allowed to vote? would there even BE a vote? would slavery still be carried out in the open? then theres the right to free speech, the right to a fair trial... i think we owe a hell of a lot to direct-action activism.

I'm all for protesting when it's done right.

What's been done here, though, is defacing and damaging public property and only worked against your cause - and sullied the name of God and Jesus at the same time.

...but then, that's what anarchy's all about. The two do not coexist.
