Speaking for myself, I loved it when the newspaper strikers in NYC in the 1980s burned a few newsstands that were selling scab papers. And when striking coal miners put nails on the roads to give the scab trucks flat tires. We need more of that stuff.
Also, speaking for myself, I think the whole BB thing is greatly exaggerated.
