They're misguided souls with noble intentions. If the Bishop did his job and enforced Canon 916, there would have been no vandalism. He's ultimately to blame, IMHO.

Yeah, like Bush is to blame for the fight between the Pistons and the Pacers last Friday. All that violence in Iraq was just too much for Ron Artest to take, you know.
Spreading oil and salt on property you do not own is vandalism, pure and simple. They are not "misguided souls." They're criminals and should be made to pay restitution or cool their heels in the hoosegow.
How about abortionists? Is it cool to shoot them so that they don't murder anymore?
