Yup, property destruction is taken as a given now among most activists.
I did a panel discussion on this topic several weeks ago at American
University with Nadine Bloch of DAN and Michelle from the Plowshares.
The audience seemed to be mostly into PD, but several had qualms about
the black bloc. This wasn't surprising given that the event was
sponsored by the Washington Peace Center.
