I feel like a van Gogh painting was a poorly picked target but also think van Gogh himself would approve.

    I am suspicious of any form of praxis that would 100% lead to the arrest of the doers outside of purposefully locking/blocking something. Doing crime and getting away with it is itself a form of praxis against cops because it demonstrates the incompetence of pigs. Getting away with crime also means the pigs don't have a police record of you, meaning you can do crime another day.

    This is honestly taking the worst parts of adventurism (individualist action, merely cathartic with no long term planning, alienating towards average people) and aboveground action (known to cops, restrained by the law, target for reactionary vigilantes). I feel sorry for these kids because in their bid to "get the message out," their faces are now known by every single reactionary and are seen as nothing more than senseless vandals by broader society.
