In certain circumstances, is some crime understandable ( and laudable )?

[Meatball]

In general, I agree with most of the posts in this thread.

It has been reported that failed fatcat banker Fred " the shred" Goodwin, held responsible for massive losses at the Royal Bank of Scotland, yet the beneficiary of a £ 700,000 p.a. pension, payable from age 50, has had one of his luxury homes and 2 of his luxury cars vandalised.
I would answer my own question " yes " on both counts.

This is where I disagree. This is simply outward assault upon someone's properties, and can't be accepted. Sure, he might be a bad guy who fucked over a lot of people and got rewarded for it. We can't simply tolerate people violently reacting to things they don't like. Damaging someone's car does nothing for the vandal, and is obviously not the same as stealing bread to feed your family. There is no gain. Vandals such as these should be punished.
