The Politics of Property Damage
The validity of property destruction has faced a lot of criticism from pundants, politicians and even many protesters. Critics say that it is not strategic because it does not help grow the movement or gain public support. That much is arguably true, but that assumes those were the goals of the action in the first place - which is usually not true. The people arrested in these targeted arrests often get charged with a mix of small misdemeanors and sometimes agregious felonies. Most of them end up getting dropped due to lack of evidence.
