    Everybody should take down all of them.

    Almost willing to say hang out there for the guy to come replace it and beat him just shy of disablement.

    That’s a little severe, but stupidity should be a crime. And with a job like that you’re either a bad guy or a stupid good guy. Or if your forced to work there somehow, you should be dismantling it from within.

      I think you should be happy that stupidity isn’t a crime since your comment is very stupid.

      Hurting the guy who installs a camera is absolutely the worst idea I’ve ever heard to fight flock surveillance.

        The cops who beat peaceful protesters are also (willing) pawns in the same game. Being a pawn doesn’t absolve you of your culpability and “I was just following orders” isn’t a defence.

            Sure, one beats protestors, the other helps them figure out who to beat.

            At this point, you’re arguing which turd stinks less, when they all smell like shit.

              Do you really think that the people putting a pole in the ground are the same people who decide to put them there? Are the same ones who make any decision in the process of advancing fascism?

              People need food, and sometimes they have to do things they don’t really want to do for it.

              Hell, they may well be some of the same people destroying them, simply so they can get more work, for all you know.

                And how many lives get directly fucked because of each individual camera?

                Would you not shoot a Nazi installing miniguns around the top of the white house? Sure, there’s “being forced into the machine”, but actively settng up their weapons is definitely at least one step too far.

                  Oh for dogs sake, are the guys doing the installation then staying with the camera and pointing it at cars?

                  Your analogy makes no sense. Attack the cameras. Attack the company. Don’t attack someone who is just putting a pole in the ground.

                  Whatever happened to “no war but class war”?

                    The ones installing cameras do point it at cars. The analogy still checks out.

                    Don’t act like the person pulling the trigger is the only one to blame in the process.
