I don't support the vandalism, but the taking of government rescue funds and using them for "bounuses" is so insane that I'd be ready to protest in front of an executive's home if there was one in the area! I'm glad they're not my insurance company (were for a couple of years for car insurance back in the day). It's going to take a long time for the country to shift it's thinking from greed to growth, as these terms have been synonymous for so long. Hell, who am I to talk - I just bought a new car a month ago using earned government money. I’m not surprised to hear about protest and vandalism at AIG executives’ homes.

This indignation should have a chance to simmer and age, not go off like an m-80. We've had several examples of the mob mentality recently, like the rude but probably undeserved treatment Liddy got at the hands of congresspeople playing to the cameras.
